SonofDevil:
sport in nigeria that is under funded so how is it going to add revenue to the economy??
The only sport that received most funding is football yet nff can't pay match bonus as at when due.shift make u go sit down.
Health facilities, infrastructural project, security and education should be the main priority of a governor in under developed country like Nigeria.

An under-developed country like Nigeria would by definition have MANY "main priorities".
And JOBS should be one of the "main priorities" in an under-developed country like Nigeria with a massive unemployment problem.

To analogize your argument (paraphrasing mostly your OWN words), the health facilities that receive "most funding" are teaching hospitals and yet the authorities can't pay doctors and house officers all of their allowances. The educational institutions that receive the "most funding" are the universities, and yet the authorities can't pay timely salaries and research grants. The infrastructural projects that receive "most funding" are electricity projects, and yet the authorities can't provide neither adequate nor reliable electricity supply for the overwhelming majority of Nigerians! Therefore, proceeding along your tortured logic, those sectors should "go sit down" while we concentrate on things that pay - like the National Assembly!

With all due respect (and frankly not sure how much respect is due you), it is obtuse to make that argument that citizens should be penalized because the government or authorities have badly mismanaged a sector. The fact is that if you have a properly-run and/or managed sports sector, it has the prospect of providing THOUSANDS OF JOBS across Nigeria all along the entire value chain (construction, facilities management, suppliers, managers, security, vendors, kit manufacturers/suppliers, nutritionists, trainers, sports medicine, officials, coachies, administrators, marketers, broadcasters, transporters, logistics, sponsors, advertisers, financiers, lawyers, agents, academies, etc.). Sports can be a viable ECONOMIC SECTOR!
