Sports minister, Simon
Dalung made a surprising assertion that Nigeria does not need to
attend the World Cup because the game is riddled with corruption and we
can never win it. Speaking to Voice of America, Hausa Service, he said:
“The cup that we can win is the African Cup of Nations. There
is nothing again that will take us to another man’s balcony in the name
of the World Cup. We already have the Commonwealth Games and the
Olympics.
For these, we can attend such meets. But I am opposed to the
World Cup. We don’t agree to it. Conspiracy in the World Cup is too
much.
“There is the issue of bribery and favouritism. There is also the issue
of corruption before you are even given the hosting rights. We are here
suffering from hunger and we don’t have money for such things. That is
why, even if we try many times, once it gets into the politics of the
game, we can never win.
“That was why this year, we had to tackle him (FIFA President, Ginani
Infantino) and we said, ‘you , Infantino, if you win this election, you
have to give us a position. If not, we shall not agree.’ And you see ,
by the grace of God, he even picked an African as his
Secretary-General. That means he has started taking honey and rubbing
on our lips. That means that one day, we shall get to really lick the
honey.”

Remove the plank in your eye first before you see clearly to remove the speck in someone's eye.Mr. Saint.
Bigot that doesn't know the difference between day and night,who recommend him as a minister of sport at the first instance,get lost abeg.
bia linda dis headline does not match with the content
A direct product of APC/ buboo's 6 months ultimate search!!!!!
This man dont start again, who loose am? Make una tie rope o! Haba! Na by force to talk. When we qualify, he will be the first to land in Russia & he will tell us he dint make such comment.
OMG!!! Which motor park did they pick this man from oh!! Nigeria don enter...
Oh jeezzzz!!! Would someone please keep this man away from the press. He really knows how to talk crap!!!
Is this man okay? Why does he talk unintelligibly? This is not good for a minister of a country like Nigeria. This is one of the reasons why black people are losing respect.
When is Buhari changing this man, this man is so ignorant that it's annoying.
Talks so much bullshit.
. ~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
This man idea on sport is so low...how on earth did he became the minister?
It is time to change this fools in office Buhari..... Time don do
The name of the Sport Minister is Solomon and not Simon. Correct that
Please were did the dey get this cantankerous and loquacious being from. Sad is this the best man for a Minister
Who cares about his stupid name
Ana ako shit
foolish man
Bonario zabeg Wch Buhari u dey talk? Nonsense! How can your Buhari change him when they both graduated from the same school named 'ignorance unity school ' you are on a long thing! This is the best your hero president can produce after several months of searching. Ndi ara
Village Idiot
Just imagine his flimsy reasons,so silly!Well, that's what one expects from a clueless tyrant and his incompetent minister as Dalung,kamnukwa corruption free bunch! #Sic
I thought his name is Solomon...guess he's not as wise as Solomon days why it's changed to Simon
When are we getting rid of Jalung PMB? His level of ignorance and corporate lack of character is getting extremely irritating. He is bereft of ideas relating to Sport and its components.
Thank you master Kelly. U hit d nail on Linda's heads.
Bonario, iam surprised at ur response. The man said d truth but Linda wickedly used a nasty caption to attract attention. Read his words once more and get d message
Do people really understand what this man said. Anyway, the truth is truly bitter.
You always have a response to every news. How you cook and construct your words still amuse and amaze me. You are one hell of a funny dude...
Hmmmmmmm,he has truly point though,theres strong favouritism and corruption in FIFA
Lib aDdict#just passing#

I don't think this idiot is alright, this junkie is on cheap drugs ... what kinda minister is this?
Hehehehehe, my tots exactly. Where did our sadist president pick all these sick pple from. A sports minister at dt.
THIS MAN DON COME AGAIN.
Hehehehehe, where did our sadist president pick all these sick pple from hun. A sports minister at dt, who is supplying him this cheap drug. Kwaroption fighting president, please can you at least put some sane human beings to run the affairs of this country we beg u. Hia and everybody is quite watching our great nation slipping away to what I don't understand. This is really sad.
We don't need a sports minister because Nigeria cannot be the best sporting Nation in the world. Rubbish!!!
Pls what his he still doing in office
Hmmm
There is politics & favoritism in Olympics too but we won cos we had good players and played well. We can still do it in the world cup.
Chai!whoever did this thing to us it wont be well with him till eternity.where did dey pik dis man from ?
Pot calling kettle black.
Gbam. And pipi are already insulting him jux cos of the headline
************************ayam not a fan of dix man.... But i kinda support him on dix **********dix hax some element of truth....... Myl..... Muna use d world cup money share Nigerians...... We go appreciate
dis guy don mad HOO....who agree with me?
Pls, Linda...what is he saying? This recession is doing greater damage to some people's brain
Foooooooool
Is Sports all about winning?????
Mumu
The Minister should know that Nigeria is not just popular as a Nation because of its huge Oil Reserves.
The Entertainment Industry is a lot more potent than the Oil Industry when it comes to what makes Nigeria thick on the World stage.
In fact Alex Iwuobi (who is just coming up) is more popular than NNPC. Representation matters. Nigeria is not the only Country where Mugus run the Affairs of Government. We know of a Country, where their Leader gave each Player a Rolls-Royce Phantom for just qualifying to play in the World Cup. The issue of Corruption has been so over blown out of proportion, such that it's becoming a Norm that public Officers use it to gain undue credence.
Is Dalung on some cheap crack?
I can't deal biko. Linda take note!
Though, I support excuse of conspiracy and corruption I don"t think that should be an issue after all obstacles where to be cross over.
This minister is as stupid as ever.
Oga you are right about the corruption and all, but it does not mean we should not show face. We should participate if we qualify the legal way. Please take it easy o!
Kaam 'what truth did he said?'to use sdk-bvs' english.Dis guy's ass shd be fired all d way to Singapore
Mumu... Solomakinde... They don't want to spend
Exactly!!!!! Bloggers like Linda just find fun creating problems here and there, see your headline see what the man actually said.
Ibudeh Steve, u made a very good comment but u spoiled it from the beginning by calling the man a fool. He is not a fool, but probably he did not understand what it means to be in a world cup. He said his mind and it's left for u to correct him if u do not agree with him.
Just blend with the system and do your job.
Buhari and his ministers are goats
NIGERIANS, HOW DID WE GET THIS LOW? LITTLE MINDS NOW PRESIDE OVER US AND OUR DESTINY. NEVER AGAIN, AMEN.
NIGERIANS, HOW DID WE GET THIS LOW? LITTLE MINDS NOW PRESIDE OVER US AND OUR DESTINY. NEVER AGAIN, AMEN.
