LAST DAMAGES OF MR POINT-BLANK

1. For his selfish interest and the fraudulent intents, he decided to start controlling the Sports Unit of NTA; he started handling sports related issues. He commissioned his friend - an Engineer Mr Amana (EDE) who is inexperienced in sports to handle Sports Rights and Acquisition. This is strange and had never happened anywhere in the world.
2. During his one-man reign in NTA, he had no regard for Sports Administrators in Nigeria. In order to perpetrate his confusion, he created a smoky atmosphere in the bid to make the nation believe he has strategy by making NTA 2 Channel 5 to be incharge of International Sports. (Who does he think he was deceiving?). This is how Sports in NTA was deliberately KILLED!
3. Mr Iredia and Amana (EDE) gave Iredia’s Mistress – the one incharge of TV Enterprises the approval to negotiate International Sports in Europe (an inexperienced person who has no iota of Sports knowledge at local level let alone international level).
4. To this end, all National Team matches have been allocated to AIT and other private operators, because NFA and Tonnie Iredia was in a deadlock because of overbloating of the viewing rights where he intended to take a huge sum off as kick-back. One can imagine that NTA, a whole National Television could not secure rights to show a National/International Match between Nigeria and South Africa a couple of weeks ago.
5. Tonnie Iredia didn’t want anyone else to negotiate with NFA on the issue. He came to NFA as an individual not as in National Interest; therefore NFA told him that the process he wants to follow was wrong and suspicious having wanted to award the Viewing rights of National Team Matches. Imagine that NTA would not show the Nation’s cup or the World Cup qualifying matches, they can only hook up from AIT for some stations at a fee paid to AIT! (What a shame!)
6. What is anyone doing about Tonnie Iredia? He should not be allowed to go scot free; Sacking him from his position is not enough – He should be probed! he stole such as: BMW X5; Landrover Discovery;, Range Rover HSE, 4 no Peugeot Cars (One 307, Two 406, One 405 s/w); 1 Hyndai Bus and 1 Pick-up Van) should be returned to NTA.
WAYS OF SALVAGING THE NTA FROM THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY TONNIE IREDIAThe New DGs should reach out to the NFA for Damage Control and re-negotiate the Viewing Rights who NTA should have to show the National & International Matches of the National Team. This would SALVAGE sports in NTA and bring revenue to NTA.
