A former Vice President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Seyi Akinwunmi on Saturday said the rising rate of Lesbianism is hampering the development of female football in Nigeria.
Akinwunmi made the statement in Inadan while on a Sports personality show, Hot Seat organised by the Oyo state chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria.
He said, “My passion for female football is as great as it is for grassroots football. But in reality, there are lots of problems with developing female football. It costs more and returns less. There are fewer players and less interest in female football than male football. But we have no excuse.
“Lesbianism kills teams. People are afraid to talk about it. The coaches take advantage of the girls, so there is much more to build in female football. Last year, I think the most problematic person to the chairman of female league was Seyi Akinwumi, I launched several attacks just to ensure things worked accordingly. So, I decided that look, if it’s so difficult for you, let us show you how it’s done.”
