I stumbled on a reply to an article with the above title and while the highly respected Ademola Olajire may be unwilling to respond to the tissues of lies, I consider it expedient for me to set the records straight being a man I have known for well over a decade and undeserving of the malicious campaign by those serving their own gods of men.

To put it in proper context, see below, the reply which was done in bad faith and my reaction to it will follow:

“Nobody is afraid of him (Olajire) or pulls him down, but the fact remains that

1. He is not a sports officer
2. The office of the general secretary of NFF is purely for professionals, as clearly stated in NFF Statutes
3. Since inception, no non-professional has occupied that office
4. The federal government won’t allow mediocre to occupy the office
5. This is what is destroying our football
6. Doctors won’t open their eyes and allow a none professional to be a Chief Medical Director of a hospital.
7. Lawyers won’t allow someone who is not a lawyer to be Artoney General.
8. An engineer won’t allow a novice to be in their society.
9. So why is Olajire fighting for a position that he does not qualify for.
10. His mere online certificate can not be equated to a graduate in core sports administration.
11. To make matters worse, he dis Mass Communication from 1st degree to PHD level.
12. He joined civil service on level 14 without the consent of Head of Service or Civil service commission.
13. He falsified his age, claiming he was born in 1968.
14. The documents he used to change his age in 2011 are available.
15. Has he forgotten he has documents with Federal Government agencies?”

END:

We all know that a lie allowed to fester gradually assumes the garb of truth. There have been too many lies these past weeks.

The interesting thing is that I have not seen him writing a word publicly about ‘gunning’ for the position of NFF General Secretary, yet it is instructive how shit-scared some folks are about their own shadows.

His venerable senior in primary school, Patrick Ngwaogu, who wrote the piece Visionary Communicator did not even consult him before extolling the virtues of this legend, something that is verifiable.

Assuming but not conceding that there is an aspiration for an office (which is clearly not vacant as there is an incumbent), is it not advisable to concentrate on the positives and values of your supposed candidate, rather than attacking the personality of someone who has not shown any desperation? None of the pieces written about Dr Olajire has castigated anyone, but the foaming gang has chosen a different path.

I have opted to address this material here because it is, somewhat, a congregation of the tissues of lies that have been posted on various channels in the past few weeks. Most of the stuff would be outright ludicrous if not utterly ridiculous. Let us overlook the barrage of poor tenses and jaw-dropping spellings.

1) Sports Officer? How do Sports Officers look, and what do they do? Someone that has written sports for over 32 years and administered sports in the past 17-and-half years is not a sports officer? Big joke.
2) Baloney
3) Fact-stabbing. Check the record
4) Mediocre? The word ‘mediocre’ is at 180-degree direction to someone who was the second-youngest Nigerian journalist at the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations finals (at the age of 26), went through the crucible (from first degree to doctorate) at Africa’s leading mass communication school, endured a punishing schedule to obtain a certificate from the Wits Business School, has attended 6 FIFA World Cup finals, 12 AFCON finals and 3 Olympics (among other global events) and speaks at least two international languages.
5) Drivel
6) More drivel
7) Bunkum
8) Codswallop
9) You need to show where he has been ‘fighting’
10) Online certificate? The particular certificate is verifiable and available for scrutiny. I have personally seen it and I know how he obtained it.
11) Mass Communication from B.Sc to PhD. Point me to that section of the Constitution that forbids this.
12) Without the consent of Head of Service or Civil Service Commission??? FG gazettes on his recruitment, confirmation and stages of elevation are available for scrutiny.
13) Falsified age? Very serious matter, but then, desperate people resort to desperate and despicable measures. So, he entered civil service in 2007 but changed age of birth 4 YEARS later??? Some of these statements only require deep reflection and some level of intellection. We have waited for the past fortnight to see a document showing a different age of birth, but have seen only rivers of spittle. His first international passport, processed in 1993 (18 YEARS before the alleged age-change in 2011) is available for scrutiny.
14) Please bring out these documents.
15) Puerile question. How can a civil servant forget that he has documents with Federal Government agencies??

Let us jettison these packs of needless falsehood about a professional senior. I am a journalist and proud (to the deep end), and I am also aware that journalists have conquered vast grounds in leadership over different generations and jurisdictions: Benjamin Franklin, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Lateef Jakande, Olusegun Osoba, Emeka Inyama, Fan Ndubuoke, Paul Bassey to mention but a few.

Only God gives position.

Let the desperados continue to suffer the fire of inordinate desire.
