UK based UEFA licenced Nigerian coach solicits Support for NFF President for more success
With Nigeria Football bubbling after the silver-medal podium finish of the Super Eagles at the AFCON 2023 tournament in Ivory Coast last month, a Nigerian UEFA/IFA Pro licenced coach, Donald Malomo- Paris has charged every Nigerian football stakeholder to support Ibrahim Gusau -led NFF board to maintain the momentum.
The UK based football coach also appealed to some aggrieved football stakeholders in the country to bury the hatchet, sheath the sword and allow a peacefully atmosphere to permeate Nigeria Football, as he noted that the signs are there that Nigeria Football will flourish tremendously under the leadership of Gusau.
“One word that is often used in football is momentum and I feel the Super Eagles now have the momentum and the challenge now is maintaining it,” Donald Malomo-Paris.
“The silver medal at AFCON is a huge positive. The most important thing in maintaining the momentum is to give support to NFF President Ibrahim Gusau, his board members and officials of the NFF.
“I am particularly amazed by the leadership style of Gusau. I feel deeply that he has a good heart and the strong will to move Nigeria football forward. The positive signs are there for every sincere football stakeholder to see.
While speaking on the issue of court case against NFF, he informed that litigation does not create the environment for football to thrive in Nigeria.
“As far as I can remember, there has always been litigation hanging over the NFF. This is not conducive for the focus required to manage the affairs of a football federation.
“There is never such distractions in the best run football federation around the world. Our grievances can be settled amicably within the confine of football rules and regulations, not at the court.
“In my opinion, I believe now is the time to bury the hatchet, and give our full support to NFF President Gusau and his team in his quest to improve the fortunes of our football,” he said.
Malomo-Paris is a member of the technical crew of Larne FC, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

VIP Spikers unveil Veronica Gyamfi following successful surgery after career-threatening injury
VIP Spikers have unveiled Veronica Gyamfi as their player, pledging to support her welfare and recovery after an injury sustained during last season’s CGC Volleyball Premier League.
The unveiling took place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, with Samuel Onikeku, Head of Sports, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), performing the ceremony.
Gyamfi sustained the injury while representing Wikki during last season’s CGC Volleyball Premier League.
In a swift response, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Dr Bashir Adewale Adeniyi (MFR), and the President of Vipers sponsored her surgery at Dala Orthopedic Hospital in Kano, where she spent two weeks receiving medical attention.
Her signing by Vipers and Partners VC, popularly known as VIP Spikers, is expected to provide her with continued care and support as she progresses through recovery and works towards returning to competitive volleyball.
Meanwhile, Gyamfi was presented a brand new ASICS canvas and a branded jersey of VIP Spikers as it is believed she would return to play after completing her rehabilitation.
The intervention reflects the importance of athlete welfare in Nigerian sports, particularly the need to ensure that players who sustain injuries while representing their teams receive appropriate medical attention and rehabilitation support.
The sponsorship of Gyamfi’s surgery by the Comptroller-General, followed by her signing by VIP Spikers, highlights the potential impact of collaboration between sports authorities, competition sponsors and clubs in safeguarding athletes’ careers.
After the surgery Gyamfi has been undergoing physiotherapy sessions at the 44 Military Reference hospital in Kaduna as the Sporting Club is supporting her education at Kaduna State Polytechnic.
Gyamfi’s story offers an encouraging example of support for an athlete facing a difficult period in her career.
Her unveiling reinforces the message that volleyball development goes beyond competitions and trophies to include protecting players’ welfare and helping them return to the sport they love.
