THE LMC BOARD CAN’T GIVE WHAT THEY DON’T HAVE
It was another Show of Shame in the League match involving Kano Pillars and Dakkada FC on Thursday .
And it quickly dawn on me that the problem rocking the Nigerian League is from the top.
When I say from the top, I simply mean from the Management of the League board, that is the LMC.
It is very obvious that despite all the series of sanctions the LMC has melted out as regards Violence in Matches , nothing really has changed or improved ,rather it’s getting worse.
It is getting worse in the sense that this is the first time , if my records are right, that a Club Chairman dared any consequence to go punch a Match Official during a game.
Kano Pillars Chairman Yahaya Surajo left his seat and punched the Assistant Referee 1 for a goal he claimed should have been ruled offside.
The Goal itself after watching the Video clip was a goal and a good call by the AR1 not to raise his flag but shockingly after he was assaulted , the Centre Referee did his own magic and ruled the goal offside.
That is a league those managing it and their friends want us to support and give good Image in the Media as signs of patriotism in order to attract Sponsorship.
Those running it ,are they doing things that will attract Sponsorship and consistent Corporate body participation?
Before, we used to complain of supporters causing Violence , beating match officials and even assaulting Journalists but now Club Chairmen are the ones beating match officials by themselves.
This is a Kano Pillars Team that is just coming out of sanctions where they were banished to Abuja from their home ground in Kano .
It goes to tell us that these clubs don’t actually take seriously the ridiculous and funny sanctions the LMC often give to them.
The leadership of the LMC might be doing their best to ameliorate these reoccurring violence in our league , but the truth is that all they are doing is still not working and situations are getting worse with the evidences from match venues week in ,week out .
I will therefore think this is the right time the Management of the League take a bow and resign .
They can’t give us more than what we are seeing at the moment.
I now understand why the Minister for Youth and Sports Sunday Dare has been contemplating the need for a change in the leadership of the league board for sometime now.

Joel Ajayi
The Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, has reiterated the new transformative vision of the Commission during his meeting with the Directors and Heads of Departments of the Commission.
The interactive sessions allowed senior officials to introduce themselves to the new DG, who emphasized the importance of strategic, standardized and scientific approach to the Commission’s operations, including the conduct of Sports Federation Elections.
In his remarks, Olopade stressed the need for reforms that would attract top administrators to vie for leadership roles within Nigeria’s Sports Federations.
“There is no way we can’t be looking at having top industry CEOs on board in our Sports Federations,” he stated.
The DG also highlighted the Commission’s mandate to elevate the Corporate image of various Sports in Nigeria.
He reemphasized the NSC’s commitment to reviving key initiatives such as the National Sports Industry Policy and the 10-Year Football Master Plan.
“The Chairman and myself strongly believe we need to have a different approach to our Federation Elections,” he noted.
“This is why the emphasis of the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a balanced approach to both sports consumption and sports production.”
The meeting reflects the new direction of the NSC, with Olopade pledging to champion and support policies that will foster professionalism and sustainable development across Nigeria’s sports landscape.
