BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Framing centered on foreign voices (Wenger, Figo, Jordan): Nigerian media largely reproduces international statements and positions rather than local reactions.

Preference for Moroccan backing: the pool highlights Fouzi Lekjaa as Africa's counterweight, without amplifying other African federations' positions.

Limited coverage of Nigeria's own federation stance: no article reports an official position from the NFF on the crisis.
