Sports minister Simon Dalung says Nigeria does not need to attend the world cup

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.”

Anonymous said...

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.

I thought his name is Solomon...guess he's not as wise as Solomon days why it's changed to Simon

Unknown said...

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.

Unknown said...

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!

Startupnigeria said...

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.

Wiseone said...

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!

Exactly!!!!! Bloggers like Linda just find fun creating problems here and there, see your headline see what the man actually said.

Unknown 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.
