Nigeria’s Sack of Rohr, Appointment of Eguavoen, and the Challenge of AfCON

0

The unhealthy relationship between the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), and the national team coach, Gernot Rohr, came to an abrupt end last weekend.

Rohr, who has been in charge of the senior national team, Super Eagles, for over five years, is Nigeria’s longest serving coach. His predicament started following the team’s repeated failures in both CAF and FIFA tournaments.

The Franco-German technician was hired in August 2016 to revive the Nigerian team that has been depleted since it won the African Cup of Nations in 2013. But instead of improving, the national team has sunk lower in Africa and world FIFA ranking.

Against this backdrop, the clamor for Rohr’s sack by football-loving Nigerians has been ringing for long, but the NFF was indecisive due to the severance cost. Now, the Federation has accepted the financial consequence of letting the German go.

“The relationship between the Nigeria Football Federation and Mr. Rohr has come to an end. We thank him for his services to the Super Eagles and Nigeria.

“We also want to thank the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports for their collaboration and guidance all through,” General Secretary of the NFF, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said.

The NFF also announced the appointment of former Super Eagles player, Augustine Eguavoen, currently its Technical Director, as the interim Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles.

In addition, the NFF Executive decided that Eguavoen will work with Salisu Yusuf (Chief Coach); Paul Aigbogun (Assistant Coach); Joseph Yobo (Assistant Coach); Dr Terry Eguaoje (Assistant Coach) and Aloysius Agu (Goalkeeper Trainer). Former Nigeria captains Augustine ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu and Garba Lawal have been appointed to provide technical and ambassadorial support for the crew.

While the replacement of Rohr is believed to be long-overdue, the appointment of Eguavoen is stirring fresh concerns. He will be in charge of Super Eagles’ preparations for the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Cameroon 9th January – 6th February 2022, and until the appointment of a substantive Head Coach.

Eguavoen is thus inheriting a critical mission to ensure that the Nigerian national team qualifies for the 2022 World Cup playoff. But given the limited time at his disposal and how wobble the team has become, he will need more than the average technique to accomplish the mission. Eguavoen, a former Nigeria captain, had been at the helm before and his performance was criticized.

In 2006 in Egypt, Eguavoen led the Nigerian squad to third place at the Africa Cup of Nations, a performance that did not augur well with Nigerians. With Eguavoen’s past record as a coach under criticism, Super Eagles chances of winning the 2022 AfCON are in doubt. However, there is hope that the NFF will find a suitable coach, who will lead the team to AfCON and World Cup, on time.

0

The next edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA which begins Feb 7 2022 will be the best yet! Many new courses are coming. I am excited to share that Charles Igwe PH.D, EMBA, PMP has joined the Faculty of Tekedia Institute. A graduate of University of Benin, Coventry University and Concordia University.

He will be teaching a course titled “Driving Growth and Operational Excellence Using Lean Six Sigma”. The goal here is to use the Lean Six Sigma principles to educate on the mechanics of business growth and operational excellence.

If you are in business, this is a civil engineer teaching business in the most practicable and quantifiable way. One of my finest courses in FUTO was the one that included Engineer Turns Manager. Dr Charles has a 160-page slide here to explain how we can make business growth predictable through probability.

Come with your calculator because you will understand the “Measure of Central Tendency” and how all can improve growth in the firm.

Dr. Charles, welcome to Tekedia Institute and Good People, look at our latest curriculum for the next edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA.

All Marriages conducted by the Ikoyi Marriage Registry are illegal and Invalid [updated]

5

Update – please read this statement from the government on this matter.

There has been a legal brawl between some Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Nigeria against the Federal Government simply for the determination of who has the power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.

Statutorily, the local governments are the ones empowered to conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates, for this reason, the LGAs have insisted that their powers to register marriages which are statutorily provided are being usurped by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Interior.

The Eti Osa LOcal Government Area of Lagos State took the Ministry of Interior and Attorney General of the Federation to court in suit no.: FHC/ LS/CS/816/18 between Eti-Osa LGA & 3 others v. Hon. Minister of Interior & 2 others (Federal High Court, Ikoyi Judicial Division), where they accused Federal Ministry of Interiors of usurping the Local Government’s power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.

They prayed the court to declare that the federal government has no business in the conduction of marriages and issuing marriage certificates and order the closure of all marriage registries opened and operated  by the Federal Ministry of Interior or through their agents including that of the Ikoyi Registry.

The case lingered but recently, the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi held in the favor of the Eti-Osa local government and granted their prayers.

The court held that conduct of marriages and issue of certificate is statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law and only the local governments have the power to do such and the acts of the federal government through the Ministry of Interior operating marriage registries is clearly beyond their powers.

The court further held that all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents are illegal and invalid and the Federal High Court also ordered for the closure of all federal marriage registries including that of Ikoyi marriage registry with immediate effect.
