Ridiculous Nigerian ban lifted

Crackpot Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has lifted the ban on the Super Eagles. This comes after he sensationally banned the country’s national soccer team from all international competition for two years following their disappointing first round exit at the World Cup. Jonathan apparently agreed to lift the ban after the Nigerian Football Federation promised to disband and rebuild the side. "The NFF assured the president of their commitment to evolving an enduring football development programme, and grow a new senior national team that will bring glory rather than consistent embarrassment to Nigeria on the world stage,” read a statement issued by the presidency. Fifa had earlier threatened to expel Nigeria from world football if the government was seen to be interfering.
