Yesterday, Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, told state house correspondents in Abuja that the reason the Super Falcons who recently won the African Women Cup of Nations have not been paid their allowances is because they were not expected to win the competition.
“Don’t forget that nobody even knew the team would emerge victorious. If we were confident they would emerge victorious, all the federation would have done is to plan for process of participation and entitlement.
And when they win, it’s already established in sports tradition that when you win, this is what you’re entitled to. The situation is highly unfortunate and I don’t like it, these girls have given confidence to women who want to embrace sports. So, this will go a long way in killing this laudable achievement. It’s unfortunate, but we’ll make sure the right thing is done,” he said
Nigerians on twitter are blasting him for making such statement. See their tweets below...

DeleteDalung would go down as the worst Nigeria Sport minister. Dude is clueless!
ReplyDeleteLike seriously...that man is eternally a disappointment to the nation,quite shameful!
ReplyDeleteThe Minister is a Nigerian who has every right to any position in Nigerian. A pity his state nominated the wrong man for the job. His wife should help him clean his mouth personally every morning. Our husband sometimes need our help to get certain things right.
ReplyDeleteLike seriouslly is our sport minister?
ReplyDeleteWhen I say this man that always dresses like a local vigilante is as sharp as as dressing,it was actually an understatement. This man was busy visiting NYSC camp tasting every ogbono and vegetable stew in camp but when it comes to matter in his backyard his taste organ is rotten.Who in his right senses vomit such bollocks as comment?
ReplyDeleteThe square pegs in round holes that Buhari sluggishly picked for months will be the undoing of his administration
FOR CHRIST's Sake, WHY IS THIS MAN STILL A MINISTER?
ReplyDeleteLet me even digress, shouldn't footballers get paid regardless of if they win or lose?
Shouldn't they be paid for participating period?
They are flying up and down to sign deal with NIKE when their house isn't even in order. Idiots.
They must be learning from Buhari at this point.
Solomon without wisdom

Yeah "its" should be used for a retard like this man cos human being in his right senses will spill this kind of trash from his mouth.
DeleteSeriously, he shouldn't have. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteVery foolish man! Always spilling trash! Buhari fire him!
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I have with Buhari is that he doesn't listen to anyone if not people like Dalung wouldn't be ministers.
