On Friday August 16 2019, FIFA issued a statement banning former Nigerian international team coach Samson Siaisia from the game of football for life, following a match-fixing probe by the world governing body on football. The adjudicatory chamber of FIFA independent Ethics Committee found that Siasia was "guilty of having accepted that he would receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches in violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics."
Reacting to this, the former Nigeria coach filed an appeal with FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the life ban. Since the ban became effective last year, Siaisia has been out of job and presently, he has called out to well-meaning Nigerians to assist him with donations that will enable him to appeal the life ban imposed on him by the world football federation (FIFA).
the former super eagles player made the appeal after he voiced out that he had only been able to raise only $275 (about N100,000) despite the fact that he needs at least N90 million (about $249,000) in legal costs to fight the ban. Siasia decided to reach out to Nigerians to help him raise funds so he will be able to defend himself and hopefully overturn the lifetime ban placed on him by the world football governing body.
The 51-year-old Siasia played 51 times as a striker for the Nigerian national team and later coached various national youth sides before a spell as senior coach in 2016.At the moment, his living condition has deteriorated and his financial status now on zero level. Recently, he released a video asking Nigerians to come to his aids. Joining us now is Segun Odegbami, former Green Eagles Captain and member of the order of the Niger - MON.
FIFA just want to fleece him, let him call there bluff of this dishonorable body call fifa, he shold venture into another thing for his life.
Siasia didn't coach even a game, he didn't even have a coaching job. This is nuts. Hope he wins his law suit
Segun what keeps you this young, your contemporaries are aging out
Let him defend himself we should be reasonable in thinking
90million will set up 500 youths languishing in poverty! But my question is where is all the money they have when they were active in their career? Me I tire oo
Arise News can do better this. One sided discussion and playing race cards. Why can’t Seun open up on the correspondence, he’s hiding a lot of informations and giving excuses.
90 million to fight what? Please let's donate this money to you so you can use the money to build businesses to help the youths and make money for yourself.
Buchi, don't discourage those in a position to assist. Pls the man has passed through trying times.Kindly write the account details again.
This is thick. Really thick
Go and look for something else to do.. Instead of using such amount of money to file court cases invest it into business.
What stupidity !
Is he going to use that money to bribe FIFA ? Or he thinks he can win against FIFA ?
Who did he help when he was on top ? He should call on those he helped to help him now.
But most importantly, if he is able to gather some money, he should go do some other things with his life. Football is not the only venture in life.
Stop playing the race card, nobody said Siasia is guilty, but Blatter, Platini, and many white football officials were baned at one time or the other
Can I have the account details
Something dey worry am? Must it be football? He no know another trade or business? Abi him no know how many people 90 million naira go help for this country?
