Nigeria reports Bolivia to FIFA over botched friendly


Amaju Pinnick

Angry Nigeria Football Federation officials have dragged Bolivia to FIFA following its unilateral cancellation of next week’s international friendly game with the Super Eagles of Nigeria fixed for the Akwa Ibom international stadium in Uyo.

The Bolivian Football Federation late on Tuesday called off the March 26 international friendly game against the Super Eagles over supposed fear of Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram.

The president of the federation said the NFF, Amaju Pinnick, has already filed a strongly worded letter to FIFA highlighting the alleged breach of contract and revealed that the world football governing body has swung into action informing the Bolivia Football Federation of the consequences of its action.

Mr. Pinnick also revealed the NFF is in a frantic search for a credible replacement for Bolivia.

“We are already looking for another country to replace the Bolivians while FIFA sorts out the breach of the contract we signed with the FBF,” said Mr. Pinnick who assured that the Super Eagles will play on March 26 in Uyo.

Aside the botched Bolivia friendly the Eagles are also billed to face South Africa’s national team during the next set of FIFA free windows for friendly
games and qualifiers.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
