D'Além Nigéria: Selecção de Futebol banida!

D'Além trago aqui um insólito! O Presidente da Nigéria Goodluck Jonathan baniu a selecção nacional - os Super Eagles - de jogar em competições durante os próximos dois anos, após uma participação desastrosa no Mundial de Futebol da África do Sul. Deixo-vos com uma questão assaz pertinente do Sahara Reporters:

"The shocking part of the decision is that the person making this decision is the president. This is the same president who brought 140 people to Canada for a needless jamboree only a few days ago. A president who is presiding over an oil producing country that is wallowing in darkness. A president who does not have the courage to arrest and prosecute his friends and political godfathers who have been indicted for accepting bribes from Halliburton and Siemens. ... A president who is presiding over a country in which the National Assembly dominated by members of his party are basically looting the treasury through dubious constituency allowances. In light of his failures, will the president withdraw himself from office for two years as he has done to the Super Eagles? If there is a World Cup for good governance, would Goodluck Jonathan make the tenth eleven? Your guess is as good as mine."
