It is the bill finally arriving for years of reckless housekeeping at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), and those responsible must be made to pay for it. Our football history shows that Nigeria rarely loses to better teams. It loses to itself. Rabat, en route to the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States of America, proved it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A Super Eagles side stacked with Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Calvin Bassey and others walked into a penalty shootout against DR Congo and missed spot-kicks that ended the dream in the cruellest fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But the shootout was only the final scene. The real damage was done months earlier, in home draws against Zimbabwe and in away draws in Bloemfontein against South Africa, results that left Nigeria second in Group C and at the mercy of a playoff route it had no business needing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A team that started its campaign with three points from four matches, before Eric Chelle was parachuted in to salvage what he could, was never going to qualify by accident. It needed grip, continuity and competent stewardship from the top. It got none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This is now Nigeria’s second successive World Cup absence, stretching an exile from the tournament back to 2018 amidst a familiar cast of excuses. The country still sits 26th in the FIFA rankings, the second-highest-ranked team on the outside looking in, behind only Denmark. This plainly tells us that this was not a talent problem. It was a leadership issue dressed up afterwards as bad luck and voodoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The financial wound is just as real as the sporting one. Nigeria has forfeited a guaranteed FIFA payout of over ten million dollars, money that represents close to ninety per cent of the federation’s own projected annual budget, along with sponsorship inflows, broadcast revenue and the marketing exposure that comes with dressing rooms full of Premier League and Serie A players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The NFF’s response to all this was a doomed straw-grabbing appeal to FIFA over DR Congo’s player eligibility; it was thrown out, followed by an equally toothless approach to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. That is football administration fighting the scoreboard instead of confronting the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Nigerian football does not lack talent, and it never has. What it lacks is a federation willing to admit failure without first exhausting every excuse in the book. Italy sacked three of its own football chiefs after missing a third straight World Cup. Nigeria, so far, has offered only silence from the sports ministry and defiance from the football house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The road to 2030 cannot begin with the same hands still holding the wheel. The incumbent Nigerian football administration structure must go, all of them.

It is built on enduring principles such as the rule of law, respect for constitutional order, an independent and credible electoral management body, vibrant political parties that practise internal democracy, a secure environment that allows citizens to participate freely in the political process, and elections that are free, fair and credible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said those democratic pillars must remain protected to guarantee political stability, national unity and sustainable development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Commending the author for what he described as painstaking research, Ganduje said the publication would serve as an important reference for students, scholars, policymakers, political actors and anyone seeking to better understand Nigeria’s democratic evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said the book offers an opportunity to reflect on the country’s democratic journey, celebrate its progress and identify areas that still require improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Reaffirming his confidence in Nigeria’s democratic future, Ganduje said, “Today, we can confidently say that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria. Our responsibility is to continue nurturing it by strengthening our institutions, upholding the rule of law, promoting credible elections, encouraging principled political leadership and ensuring that democracy continues to deliver dividends to the Nigerian people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Al-Makura urges Nigerians to safeguard democracy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Also speaking, Chairman of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Board and former Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Tanko Al-Makura, also called on Nigerians to protect the country’s democratic gains, saying the progress recorded since the return to civilian rule in 1999 should never be taken for granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to him, “We cannot afford to allow these hard-earned gains to slip away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Al-Makura noted that Nigeria had now enjoyed 27 years of uninterrupted democratic governance, the country’s longest democratic experience since independence, and said the nation must continue to strengthen its institutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He reminded Nigerians that no democracy is perfect, arguing that democratic systems evolve over time through continuous reforms and respect for the rule of law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to him, “The true beauty of democracy lies in the peaceful contest of ideas, respect for the rule of law, and the ability of citizens to freely choose their leaders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He also described history as an indispensable guide for nation-building, saying the book provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s democratic struggles, achievements and aspirations while preserving them for future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>FG backs democratic consolidation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Representing the Federal Government, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, described the publication as an important contribution to documenting Nigeria’s democratic journey and educating future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The minister said the book arrived at a time when the country needed well-researched works to properly document its transition from military rule to democratic governance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He described the publication as a valuable tool for public education and enlightenment, saying it chronicles Nigeria’s democratic gains, challenges and eventual return to civil rule in 1999.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The minister added that the Tinubu administration remained committed to consolidating democracy through its Renewed Hope Agenda and urged public institutions, schools and libraries to acquire copies of the book as a reference material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The book, ‘Nigeria’s Journey to Democratic Rule,’ traces Nigeria’s transition from military rule to democratic governance and seeks to preserve one of the country’s most defining political periods for researchers, students, policymakers and future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fweak-party-ideology-fuelling-defections-ganduje\u002F\">Weak party ideology fuelling defections — Ganduje\u003C\u002Fa> appeared first on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\">Vanguard News\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","weak-party-ideology-fuelling-defections-ganduje",{"id":918,"createdAt":919,"updatedAt":919,"name":920,"slug":921},[2281,2282,2283,2284,2285,2286],"weak","party","ideology","fuelling","defections","ganduje","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.vanguardngr.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F10\u002FGanduje-1024x682.jpeg",{"id":1703,"createdAt":1704,"updatedAt":1705,"name":1706,"image":1707,"slug":1708},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fweak-party-ideology-fuelling-defections-ganduje\u002F",{"id":2291,"createdAt":2292,"updatedAt":2293,"title":2294,"excerpt":2295,"content":2295,"slug":2296,"topic":2297,"tags":2298,"image":2309,"author":76,"feed":2310,"views":1747,"type":85,"readTime":86,"externalSourceUrl":2317},"2477cc0f-525f-46cb-addc-2816d738b935","2026-07-13T14:04:00.553Z","2026-07-15T20:00:51.000Z","Harvest Chapel International eulogizes late Dr. Samuel Nkansah at memorial and thanksgiving service","Harvest Chapel International has paid glowing tribute to the late Dr.  Samuel K.

The combination of armed\r\nconflict, repeated displacement, and climate shocks risks trapping millions of\r\nSomalis in chronic food insecurity, making conflict not merely a consequence of\r\nhumanitarian crisis but one of its primary drivers.\r\n\r\n ","somalias-conflicts-are-fueling-hunger-more-than-drought",{"id":918,"createdAt":919,"updatedAt":919,"name":920,"slug":921},[2328,2329,2330,2331,2332],"somalias","conflicts","fueling","hunger","drought",{"id":2334,"createdAt":2335,"updatedAt":2335,"name":2336,"image":2337,"slug":2338},"32cbe1fe-0c20-4065-a109-d487ae8674bd","2026-04-22T09:53:01.550Z","Horn Observer","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.oneclickafrica.com\u002Fmedia\u002Ffeed\u002F9bdaeac4-b2fc-47ff-a4b7-cdc4c024883b.png","horn-observer","https:\u002F\u002Fhornobserver.com\u002Farticles\u002F3688\u002FSomalias-Conflicts-Are-Fueling-Hunger-More-Than-Drought",{"id":2341,"createdAt":2342,"updatedAt":2343,"title":2344,"excerpt":2345,"content":2346,"slug":2347,"topic":2348,"tags":2349,"image":2356,"author":76,"feed":2357,"views":1953,"type":85,"readTime":86,"externalSourceUrl":2364},"be31c516-3caa-413b-96de-839aa7c6590a","2026-07-11T04:53:00.307Z","2026-07-16T02:41:11.000Z","Udom Emmanuel at 60: The arithmetic of a life well spent","There is a particular kind of leader who governs by ledger — who treats a state budget the way a\nread more Udom Emmanuel at 60: The arithmetic of a life well spent","\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-large.png\" alt=\"GOV (1) (1)\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-medium.png 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-large.png 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-small.png 150w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-405x405.png 405w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-675x675.png 675w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-165x165.png 165w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-198x198.png 198w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-134x134.png 134w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-100x100.png 100w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-285x285.png 285w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1.png 1254w\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\" pl\" \u002F>\u003Cp>There is a particular kind of leader who governs by ledger — who treats a state budget the way a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>read more \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbusinessday.ng\u002Fbd-weekender\u002Farticle\u002Fudom-emmanuel-at-60-the-arithmetic-of-a-life-well-spent\u002F\">Udom Emmanuel at 60: The arithmetic of a life well spent\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n","udom-emmanuel-at-60-the-arithmetic-of-a-life-well-spent",{"id":918,"createdAt":919,"updatedAt":919,"name":920,"slug":921},[2350,2351,2352,2353,2354,2355],"udom","emmanuel","arithmetic","life","well","spent","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.businessday.ng\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FGOV-1-1-large.png",{"id":2358,"createdAt":2359,"updatedAt":2360,"name":2361,"image":2362,"slug":2363},"14e4aefc-8e81-4eac-8d69-034e04098722","2026-03-25T11:41:56.050Z","2026-04-20T08:54:29.000Z","Business Day","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.oneclickafrica.com\u002Fmedia\u002Ffeed\u002Ffffe58c1-8591-49cc-bc28-4598d4e8bde1.jpg","business-day","https:\u002F\u002Fbusinessday.ng\u002Fbd-weekender\u002Farticle\u002Fudom-emmanuel-at-60-the-arithmetic-of-a-life-well-spent\u002F",{"total":2366,"limit":2173,"page":86,"total_pages":1798,"has_next":2367,"has_previous":2368},18,true,false]
