The minister who described corruption as the bane of development, not just in the sports sector but in Nigeria as a whole, narrated how the Nigerian Football Federation fleeced him of $6, 600.

Narrating, Dalong said, as a member of the Federal government delegation to the 2002 Africa Nations Cup in Mali, he was informed at Abuja of being entitled to the sum of $7,000, but was paid only $400 by the NFF. The lawyer, added that he had to turn from a refugee in Mali to organising international launch from his friends to for him to survive and return to the country.

According to him, Nigeria lost the match in Mali because of the tradition of a player making some concession of $2,000 from his allowance of $5,000 to the team before he will be featured, adding that those who did not succumb were not allow to appear in the match.

Mehn, make I book this plot. Komme ich zuruck.

That's why SE or any tournament Nigeria crash out would not be a big deal for me, why would a Coach collect bribe, field nonentities then lose match, who come dey crase if I no gree chop or start crying or change mood when the coach no wish him self well, the only reason I can feel bad is If I stake my money on Nigeria, but doing that now is at your own risk. So If they win, we go clap for them and if dem lose all join.

Predict and win cash prizes!!!

corruption has been Nigeria's problem since 1914
