To think it took the President a whooping SIX MONTHS! to find and select this sort of Sports Minister!

Daily news just keeps getting beyond pathetic by the day ... smh.

Anywhere you turn in-country same story. The state of most things are simply a mess - thanks to confused, incompetent leadership.

Anyway, Lalasticlala. Duty calls.

Boycott the match and come back home abeg..What's with the threat every time, u got 11days allowance 3days ago, now na match bonus, after 2moro's match anoda complain...

safarigirl:
to hell with patriotism. Why can't your leaders collecting 300 million Naira per sitting be patriotic and pay people who actually earn their pay?

Who patriotism epp? You no see wetin do Keshi, Yekini and Amodu? See men that worked hard without pay and your useless government couldn't even give them befitting burials
. Some of these guys have family members to feed. Forget Mikel that is making millions, most of these players are playing in small leagues and NPFL, they haven't gotten good money in months cuz of the Olympics, but if na to insult them, una go ready

Phuck Patriotism abeg, get your money or you crash out of Rio.

Harrisee:
I thought they are very patriotic. I forgot they are still Nigerians

Harrisee:
I thought they are patriotic. Naija

Jokkarm:
Sisia let me congratulate you for the achievement in the Olympic . I think buhari did not put a square peg in the round hole . The minister does not understand the meaning of foothball competition , they might think is a street ball.
Saisia please , we the Nigeria fans are pleading don't give up , dnt be surprise you are coming back with the cup. By the time you lift the cup, kind travel to America with all the players with the cup and stay untill they pay all the money they are owing .
Instead of appointing somebody that knows sports , somebody who is clueless was appointed .

Harrisee:
I thought they are patriotic. Naija

IamThrive:
In Nigeria, everyday one new story to the other.

No wonder one of my friend told me that his friend is now listening to South African news and no more Nigeria.

What a world

ebby9z:
I see comments here criticizing the level of the players' patriotism and i wonder what people commenting have ever done for Nigeria.
For crying out loud, these players and other athletes have been fending for themselves while our politicians pad budgets, use fleet of jets and buy jeeps from the national treasury without adding any value to the country. These boys are flying our flag and whatever happens there reflects on peoples perception of the country. Its little wonder we are treated poorly out there cos we dont even present ourselvesriotism honourably in the international community

Harrisee:


You need the sense more bro. Of course, it is an established fact that we have unpatriotic leaders. But disgracing your country because of unpaid wages is unpatriotic. You didn't remember you were being owed when you boarded the flight to Rio. Its like going to the market square to announce that your mother haven't served you break fast. You are playing for your motherland not her leaders. But I don't expect you to understand since common sense is not common.

Chigold101:
I remember GEJ will always speak to encourage the players.

I remember GEJ will always give the coaches personal support during competetions.

I remember so many things GEJ did to encuorage our football teams.

I wonder why change agent Buhari is this wicked.

If they are his children wnt he give them their allwances.

I miss GEJ

PaulIdu:
Jonathan clearly did not prepare Nigeria enough for Rio 2016 ,instead of him to have prepared this team long before handover he did not instead he was blowing money up and down . Now the price of crude has dropped what does anyone expect Buhari to do now

Respect55:

Is he complaining for nutin?

Why are u like dis??

Harrisee:


They are playing for Nigeria not Buhari or dalung. They were being owed yet they boarded the flight to Rio. They shouldn't stand us up at this time. Keshi, Amodu and co served their country not her leaders.That's what matters. Don't expect patriotism from your leaders, If your elder siblings are treating your mum unfairly, you shouldn't join them. Those guys are serving their motherland in Rio. They shouldn't disgrace her in the open market.

saintdennis:
Ya'll prepare for this...wait for this.... Yea this is it...

THE U.S GOVT DOES NOT (and I repeat does not) FUND ITS OLYMPIC PROGRAM.


You All wanna be like U.S someday ? Then start acting like one!

Time for free meals is over NFF must begin to feed itself, a vibrant league will employ so many nigerians in football, media, menial labour, finance etc.

SafeAlhaji:
So buhari is the sport minister abi? if you miss Gej why cant you pack you baggages and pay him a visit, oshii ati iregbe

tonyeb2k:
I must say ur indeed a stupid fellow, are you blind or daft to the things happening. Come on get some small sense na, must u show ur stupidity by commenting?

ogmask:


Are you serious?

No wonder he ddnt have time for governance.

Meanwhile who was the president when Chris giwa / amaju pinik wahala started.
Who was the president when oliseh made same complaint?
Who was the president when the NFF building was sealed off?
Who was the president when Solomon ogba was crying for funds for preparation s?
Who was the president when keshi had same money issues?
I want you to name one area of our sports that GEJ fixed and even put money into to make it attractive.
I can go on and on but the truth is our sports, like other sectors, had always been in a mess.

Don't com here to mention GEJ as if he contributed anything to better the Nigerian sport arena.

CHOPUP411:
Where is minister of United state of Nigeria

passionate88:
Buhari has finished Nigeria. Let me see how omenka sweetlemon ngeneukwenu passingshot demdem and the rest will rope Jonathan into this

AlphaCentauri:
it is very interesting that you bring this up because come to think of it, no civilized country pays for sports that happen once in 4 years. they dont pay their athletes one kobo for sports. the athletes are sponsored by companies and corporations like NIKE, ADIDAS, VITAMIN WATER, LUCOZADE, etc etc etc. no sane country dips into its coffers to pay athletes. athletes go and look for sponsors and thats how they survive. so why do these BACKWARD nigerians expect the govt to be paying sports men ? instead of these usless companies in nigeria using tuface and whizkid and banky w etc etc as their brand face in nigeria they should be sponsoring and using our athletes instead. thats what civilized countries do
