Speaking to State House correspondents after a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential Villa, Abuja, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mr. Solomon Dalong on Thursday said that the Federal Government hasn’t paid the allowance of members of the Super Falcons because they didn’t think the Falcons would win the championship in Camerron , hence didn’t make any provision of funds for them.

He said no money was readily available to pay the players. However, he said serious efforts are being made to find a way to solve the problem at hand.

He said:

“It is unfortunate that we are celebrating victory of the Super Falcons amidst some bitter feelings among the players because of some administrative lapses that were not managed properly because if the situation was explained to these girls, I don’t think the situation would have gotten to this level. 

They have stamped their authority and dominance over football in the continent, having consistently won the trophy eight times.  After the girls came back from Cameroon, we had lunch with them and they were in high spirits, the communication gap in trying to convey the situation to them could have been what led to it.”

Are you guys for real, I mean who thinks this way?Huh???
So your thoughts were like ok no need to make plans ahead, since you thought that the victory wasn't coming their way,
This is where we fail somethings because we are not the Almighty God who sees both in and out of everything!!

Congratulations my girls for making us proud!!
How I wish I could do anything for you guys:(
But all the same my prayers to you all, is that God is in control of your futures he will see you guys through it all!!
God bless you all and also the guys that brought this funny ideas Amen

Your forefathers must be hopelessly mad and abysmal failures. You sent superstars to make us proud without making provisions for them to be duly compensated cos u thought they won't succeed. You are a no-good man. How u became a minister is a hullabaloo that must be pooh-poohed by sensible Nigerians.
I'm sure your IQ level is as low as your chances of even coming close to how these wonderful ladies have made us proud..anuofia
