World football governing body, FIFA has been told not to force Nigeria into accepting the practise of immorality in its football.

Former Chairman of Gombe State Football Association, Alhaji Ahmed Shuaibu Gara Gombe, who gave the warning in a chat in Abuja, said the world football ruling body was wrong by insisting that gay players and lesbians be allowed to play football for Nigeria.

He said, as an independent entity, Nigeria has the right to decide what is good for its citizens, in as much as that would not contravene the laws of its affiliate international bodies.

Gombe, who described gay and lesbianism s alien cultures, stated that banning lesbians from playing in the national teams and Nigerian female football league does not contravene FIFA statutes, as there is no section of the document that insists that immorality should be encouraged in football.

He therefore urged the Nigeria Football Federation, the Nigeria women league and all the Nigerian clubs and national teams not to allow any player found to be involved gay practise and lesbianism to participate in the country's football.

"FIFA statutes say there should not be any form of discrimination either age, sex, nationality and the rest of it; but that same rule does not say that same sex marriage of sexual relationship is allowed. So, FIFA should not impose that on us," he said.

He said since the National Assembly of Nigeria threw away a bill seeking to legalize same sex marriage in the country, nothing that has to encourage same sex sexual relationship be promoted in the lad.
