  The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to hold an emergency meeting to address the uncertainty surrounding the future of Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle. According to sources, Chelle is considering terminating his contract as the team's manager. The development comes amidst Nigeria's struggles to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With only seven points from six games, the Super Eagles are currently fourth in Group C, behind leaders South Africa, Rwanda, and Benin Republic. Pressure has been mounting on Chelle, prompting him to travel to Europe in search of reinforcements to bolster the team's defense. However, the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team has reportedly led to a change of heart, with Chelle now considering terminating his contract. The NFF's emergency meeting aims to address the situation and find a resolution. The fate of Chelle and the Super Eagles' World Cup qualifying campaign hang in the balance.

NIGERIA CHARGED ME $170 FOR BIOMETRICS THIRD TIME THIS YEAR FOR ONE-MONTH VISA- CNN CORRESPONDENT, LARRY MADOWO LAMENTS. (VIDEO/PHOTOS).


 ā€œNigeria just charged me $215 for a 1-month, single entry visa. Again. I was here 3 weeks ago - paid the same $215. This is actually my 3rd time in Nigeria this year, so they have made $645 from me in 2024 alone.


The visa itself costs $25 but Nigeria charges a $20 "processing fee" and $170 for biometrics every time. My fingerprints haven't changed since I was here 3 weeks ago, why am I paying $170 to have them taken and to pose for a picture each time I visit? Isn't that a standard part of admitting someone into a country?


How can we achieve about a borderless Africa, or the promise of the AfCFTA, if we charge Africans $215 for a single-entry visa? 


In the 3 weeks since I was last in Lagos, I went to Uganda, South Africa and Ghana where I don't need a visa with a Kenyan passport. In fact, I've also been to South Africa 3 times this year. It cost me $0, like the ancestors intended. 


Nigeria's visa-on-arrival system is similar to the "visa-free" delusion of Kenya's Electronic Travel Authorization - you apply in advance, submit some documents and wait for it to be approved. It can take up to 5 business days. If you know "someone," you can pay them $50 or more to "facilitate" a faster approval.


I love Nigeria, but the visa situation is showing me shege. It's too much oo! Why this Shege Pro Max?ā€
