🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation statement on Folarin Balogun red card case, saying they are “astonished”.

“The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).
FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.
However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.
Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed.”
The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.
The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.

❗️In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.”

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The White House contacted FIFA directly to request a review of Folarin Balogun's red card.

FIFA declined to comment on the call itself, pointing instead to the decision of its independent disciplinary committee. Sources maintain the ruling was made solely under Article 27 and was not influenced by any external intervention.

Fake Agency: It Was Known Across Many Government Institutions, Challenging Claims That It Was Fraudulent - Ogunye

The agencies were known to several government institutions, including the Federal Secretariat, the Budget Office, the National Assembly, the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Chief of Staff and government spokespersons cannot expect Nigerians to rely solely on verbal assurances that the agency was unknown when multiple government institutions appear to have interacted with it.

The way Cape Verde played, you will hardly believe that this was their first time at the World Cup. Debutants drew 0–0 with Spain.

They went further & drew 2–2 with Uruguay.

The Blue Sharks finished second in Group H & qualified for the knockout. They leveled in the match TWICE. Messi’s goal was not enough.

They were forced to extra time. Argentina barely avoided one of the greatest football upsets of all time. They may have survived, but Cape Verdeans will go home with their heads held high. Congratulations to the debutants.

This is what the beautiful game is all about. 🫶

Everyone I’ve spoken with who is currently serving in government has told me that this Prince Adeniyi case is simply a scam, but when I start asking questions, none of them has been able to answer.

Yes, you can forge an appointment letter and claim that you are a DG but appointment letters are signed by the SGF not the COS. Who allegedly issued his appointment letter or what signature is his allegedly forged appointment letter showing?

Someone higher than a DG must ask that you be allocated office space in the Federal Secretariat. Who made that request?

Someone higher than a DG must write asking that you be given an alleged take-off grant. You cannot yourself write to the Budget Office and the Office of the Accountant General that you should be given a take-off grant. Who allegedly wrote?

How did the agency get into the budget?

Usually, you will go for budget defence as part of a cohort. In this case, it will probably be as part of the State House cohort. Who defended or coordinated the defence of the budget estimates before the National Assembly before they were appropriated?

Did the guy earn a salary in the more than one year he was there? If so, who documented him and asked that he be paid?

With which money was the guy running the office for more than one year if nothing was allegedly released?

Who allegedly wrote to the CBN asking them to open an account for the ‘Council’? The ‘Council’ cannot just walk into CBN and ask to open an account, as if it’s a commercial bank looking for customers.

Who allegedly approved the ‘Council’s’ manning levels and who allegedly approved the waiver to recruit 300 staff?

Was the guy allegedly really that good? Or were there egregious failings at multiple points in the system?

These questions and more are often met with deafening silence. Everyone sighs heavily and uses the ubiquitous expression “Na waa.” Me sef, I sigh heavily and answer “Na real waa!”

This is a case of the proverbial tse tse that has landed on the scrotum. Leave it and it will cause sickness and pain. Swat it and it will cause pain because of its location.

Anyhow you look at it, there are questions begging for answers. And whatever the answers will be, they will not be good.

Still, I hope that there’ll be some answers soon…for the sake of our public administration system.

Amid the controversy over the existence of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), official documents have shown that the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) approved the redeployment of some staff members from federal ministries to the agency last year.

The documents surfaced amid public outrage that trailed the federal government’s denial of the agency’s existence and the appointment of its director-general, Adeniyi Adeyemi.
A circular dated August 28, 2025, and signed by Dauda Abdulhamid, Director of Administration at the OAGF, showed that some treasury officers from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments and agencies were also posted to the agency.
The permanent secretaries and heads of key federal institutions, including the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), were among the recipients of the circular approving the postings, which the OAGF said was intended to strengthen service delivery.
Affected officers were directed to submit their assumption-of-duty certificates to the Office of the Accountant-General on or before Thursday, September 11, 2025.
The OAGF had also warned that failure by affected officers to comply with the posting directive would attract sanctions under the Public Service Rules.
“I am further directed to reiterate that all officers are to note that failure to comply with this posting instruction shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Public Service Rules PSR 020602 (iv),” he wrote.
Omeh Amarachukwu Henry, a principal auditor on Grade Level 12, was posted from the foreign affairs ministry to the audit unit of the Office of the Director-General, Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC), specifically to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
Also redeployed from the foreign affairs ministry to the PFIPC account unit were Wakili Saidu Lampo, a senior auditor on Grade Level 10, and Ojo Akinpelu Victor, an accounts officer on Grade Level 13.
Bawa Salihu Mokwa, the spokesperson for the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), could not be immediately reached for comments.
Earlier, the president’s chief of staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, denied that the agency existed under President Bola Tinubu’s administration and that Mr Adeyemi had never been appointed to head it.
Reacting, Mr Adeyemi, at a press conference, alleged that Mr Gbajabiamila had collected N400 million through a proxy and demanded an additional N200 million to secure his appointment.
The PFIPC chief questioned how the agency appeared on pages 50 and 51 of the 2026 appropriation budget and how it secured a space at the federal secretariat if it did not exist.
However, the federal government has maintained that the agency does not exist and that Mr Adeyemi is an impostor, despite documents indicating that the PFIPC had been operating. The development has generated outrage among Nigerians, who have questioned the authenticity of the Tinubu-led government’s claims.

What We Call Government In Nigeria Is Organized Criminality - Akah

This is the kind of corruption you could describe as 'Renewed Hope corruption.' It is the kind of corruption that can only thrive under those in power. In Nigeria, people often say the government has been hijacked by a cabal. But what happens when the government itself becomes the cabal, or the cartel? Nigeria is in serious trouble, and every Nigerian must rise to help rescue the country.
