Backdoor qualification!

If you know English very well, you would have understood that backdoor means illegal, trying to trick your way into something. The fifa rules is the fifa rules. If bridged, there is always a consequence.

You too check your English well. Another meaning of backdoor is INDIRECT and not necessarily illegal.

Even if Nigeria is allowed to go for the inter-continental play-offs, they will still lose. They are not just good enough as a team. The talent of the individual players is not in question here.

I don't know why the hate for Nigeria is so much, if Nigeria feel like they have case to prove then let's leave that for FIFA and CAS to judge.
If they win good and if they lose they should go back and restrategies.

Our Nigerian brothers are fighting a shameful fight. The DRC Constitution is an internal affair and not FIFA's Constitution. After all, the DRC President may have the power to grant amnesty to the players. Moreover, FIFA has approved the nationality switch of the players before they could play for their country. Nigeria should go back and prepare well for the next edition, instead of wasting time and fighting a bad loser's fight.

If Dr Congo broke the rule on eligibility because of desperationto win at all costs,, then they should face the music for their blantant disregard of their own Nationality rules. Nigeria doesn't need your advice, Mr "Gomido" or whatever you call your bitter and hate-filled self!

I haven't really seen a Ghanaian who hates Nigerians but only as a consequence of Nigeria rather being envious of Ghana, shieeee. By the way this very protest you are counting on, Cameroon has also protested the same to FIFA, after meeting Congo in the Semis , and all will come to nothing. You are from a really pathetic country and with all your population and football players , you can't win and qualify for a world cup and desperate to be there, only because Ghana is going to be there. What a pathetic nation

Nigeria envy Ghana is mistaken and I don't see any reason for Nigeria to envy Ghana. For what reason exactly? If you think because Nigerians live in Ghana, I'm telling you today that we have alot of Ghanaians in Nigeria today, I have some of them farming on my father's land, many are here in my community selling alcohol and palm wine. But Nigeria will never tell them to go back to their country because we don't care.

And this is coming from a Nigerian who are killing themselves in thousands, using HATE for Ghanaians?

Sometimes is baffling the mind that, Nigerians can used HATE for foreigners but can’t see that, they are the ones that hate themselves

If it isn’t hate, how can a hardened nigerian cartels kidnapped their own brothers and sisters from the same poor neighborhood that, they struggled to grow or survived and demand ransoms from their victims parents knowing how poor that neighborhood is since they grew in that neighborhood?

This is a certified hate from Nigerians among themselves and u had the audacity to called Ghanaians hateful?

Added to that, if the poor folks of their victims can’t coughed their ransom, they ll killed their victims knowing that, they grew from these poor enclaves and ghettos and knowing very well that, their own parents can’t coughed that amount they were demanded

This is what’s called HATE and I sometimes wonder how Nigerians can called GHANAIANS hateful?

U can’t loved ur own Nigerian brother or sister enough but u want a Ghanaian to loved u more?

Man, u are one sick dude

If DR is disqualified, then Nigeria will have to play Cameroon because they used the same ineligible players to eliminate Cameroon. God forsaken 419 country. Concentrate on the kidnapping and killings in Nigeria and forget about the world cup. The world cup is for decent countries, not for God forsaken country like Nigeria.

THE ONLY THING I AGREE WITH IN YOUR STATEMENT IS THE FOOLISHNESS OF SOME GHANAIANS WHO THINK NIGERIANS ARE THEIR BROTHERS. THE REST OF YOUR STATEMENT REEKS OF THE TYPICAL NIGERIAN GASLIGHTING AND LACK OF LOGIC.

How can you say Ghanaians hate you when you’re the ones flooding our country with prostitution, ritual killings, kidnapping and noise? Moreover you’re slaughtering each other in your own country. You’re not calling that hate yet when you get criticized for trying to enter a tournament through the back door you’re calling it hate. Nigerians are shameless and pathetic crybabies

Pursuing a case like the one you’re pursuing against DR Congo makes you the most stulidest people on the face of the African continent. If you think it’s Fairfax job to determine who is qualified to be a citizen of one country then your brain is in your nyash. How can you be the one of the worst teams during qualifiers yet you want to sneak into the tournament through back door. Go and sit at home and kidnap people for a living thats all you good at

Let's hope the size of Nigeria's population and the prospect of ticket sales including the huge population of Nigerians in the US does not cloud FIFA's fairness. It is a funny case of Nigeria deciding who a Congolese citizen is, and not Congo DR, very funny indeed! Nigeria and 419 behavior, hmmm!!!!

Nigeria couldn't qualify for the World cup and now it is trying to get in by some technicality. Their argument that DR'S constitution doesn't allow for dual citizenship is weak and lame. Even if the country's constitution that's permit dual citizenship, it can make exceptions to allow the players to represent DRC. FIFA only has jurisdiction on football related matters and not how a country interprets its constitution.

It would be interesting to see how FIFA accepts Nigeria to be the experts that interpret Congo's citizenship laws to them.
