No Money To Pay The Falcons 'Cause We Never Knew They Would Win ~ Sports Minister

By Wole Oduwole9 December 20161 min read

Barrister Solomon Dalung, minister of youths and sports, has revealed that the federal government and NFF never knew Super Falcons of Nigeria could win the Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The minister made this shocking disclosure while addressing newsmen at Aso Rock, when asked why the ladies allowances were being delayed.

Dalung believes that the sit-in-hotel protest of the Falcons wouldn’t have occurred if the NFF had put into consideration the Falcons chances of winning the African title,

This has continued to trigger annoyance among Nigerian football fans as they couldn't contain the 'nonchalant attitude' put up by the NFF.
