Corruption In Nff Got Our Under 23 Team Stranded, Not Govt by mrrights: 10:30pm On Aug 06, 2016 |
CORRUPTION IN NFF GOT OUR UNDER 23 TEAM STRANDED, NOT GOVT. The Minister of Sports insisted that NFF/Amaju should not take the team to Atlanta for training because of paucity of funds, Amoju/NFF told the Minister that they have found a sponsor and they have signed every document with him for all trip expense covered. Even with that, the Minister said to Siasia, why can't you suggest to your sponsor that you will do your training here in Nigeria so that when it is time to move to Rio, the team can move at once with the Team Nigeria to Brazil. Amoju/Siasia disappeared with the boys to Atlanta without the minister's consent. The next thing Dalung heard was that the Nigerian Football team is stranded in Atlanta. Atlanta? How? When did they go to Atlanta, he didn't know. This is exactly why the minister said it was not their business if they got stranded in Atlanta. In anger, he actually said the United States of Nigeria. But investigation revealed that, they were stranded as a ploy to extort money from the Government, not because they were really stranded. They wanted to force government to finance the trip, even after saying they got sponsor. Or, how would a team who got sponsor to travel to Atlanta suddenly get stranded? How can you ask govt to provide funds for a trip you were asked not to go and you eventually went through the back door? |

I really dont know the source of this story but I knew something was not right. No Minister in his right sense will deliberately put any Nigerian team thru such embarrassment. There was a disconnect somewhere. The truth will eventually come out. 1 Like |
