FIFA sets to rule on Maigari’s impeachment

World football governing body FIFA will give its verdict this week on the impeachment of Nigeria Football Federation president, Aminu Maigari.
AfricanFootball.com gathered that FIFA members will base their decision on the reply NFF forwarded  to the body on Maigari’s impeachment.
“FIFA will decide on the purported sack of Maigari before the end of this week,” a source informed AfricanFootball.com
FIFA had last week demanded a full explanation on Maigari’s impeachment by the NFF executive committee.
Maigari was reportedly sacked by his executive committee members on July 24.
FIFA in a letter to NFF General Secretary, Musa Amadu and signed by Deputy Secretary General, Markus Kattner, demanded a more detailed explanation of events leading to Maigari’s sack.
They asked for the agenda of the executive committee meeting that sacked Maigari, the conditions for the amendment of the agenda and whether the president was given the chance to defend himself formally.

The Great Chinese Exodus Many Chinese are leaving for cleaner air, better schools and more opportunity. But Beijing is keeping its eye on them.

A recent report showed that 64% of China's rich are either migrating overseas or have plans to leave the country. Political scientist James To, who has written a book on the subject, tells the WSJ's Deborah Kan how the Chinese government is using propaganda campaigns abroad to ensure loyalty from overseas Chinese. Even when the emperors did their utmost to keep them at home, the Chinese ventured overseas in search of knowledge, fortune and adventure.
