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.”
I'm simply shocked he has a job after that Olympics brouhaha! Ignorance is disgusting!

DeleteOh jeezzzz!!! Would someone please keep this man away from the press. He really knows how to talk crap!!!
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
ReplyDeleteWhen is Buhari changing this man, this man is so ignorant that it's annoying.
ReplyDeleteTalks so much bullshit.
. ~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
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

ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
ReplyDeleteDo people really understand what this man said. Anyway, the truth is truly bitter.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this idiot is alright, this junkie is on cheap drugs ... what kinda minister is this?

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.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need a sports minister because Nigeria cannot be the best sporting Nation in the world. Rubbish!!!
ReplyDeletePls what his he still doing in office
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
ReplyDeletePot calling kettle black.
ReplyDeletedis guy don mad HOO....who agree with me?
ReplyDeletePls, Linda...what is he saying? This recession is doing greater damage to some people's brain
ReplyDeleteFoooooooool
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
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.
DeleteIs Dalung on some cheap crack?
ReplyDeleteThough, I support excuse of conspiracy and corruption I don"t think that should be an issue after all obstacles where to be cross over.
ReplyDeleteThis minister is as stupid as ever.
ReplyDeleteOga 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!
ReplyDeleteJust blend with the system and do your job.
ReplyDeleteBuhari and his ministers are goats
ReplyDeleteNIGERIANS, HOW DID WE GET THIS LOW? LITTLE MINDS NOW PRESIDE OVER US AND OUR DESTINY. NEVER AGAIN, AMEN.
ReplyDeleteNIGERIANS, HOW DID WE GET THIS LOW? LITTLE MINDS NOW PRESIDE OVER US AND OUR DESTINY. NEVER AGAIN, AMEN.
