At least they had the President's ear and considering the raucous being made currently, GEJ would have answered them.

I don't even like the GEJ, I'm sure you think I do, I don't care for either of the two fools, and I told anyone who cared to listen that Buhari would win, but I refuse to just act like it's the same thing because there is a clear difference. GEJ's government intervened lots of times in the crisis and even paid the bonuses countless times, enough proof is abailable to support that, but this government is useless and lackadaisical.

I repeat, there is no football without politics, when you start viewing things from the point of the average man in Nigeria, you will understand.

And what does oil price have to do with anything? Did a fall in oil prices reduce the salary of the National Assembly or stop Bubu from creating useless committees?

Tbaba, you no go understand, so no need

tbaba1234:


My point is simple. We have been disgraced several times before international tournaments. During the last world cup, the story of our unpaid bonuses was on CNN? One of my colleagues here, asked me about the African country that had bonus issues during the world cup? The shame was that it was Nigeria.

This one too, will be resolved but let us not pretend like it has not happened several times before.

I agree that the Minister at the moment has no clue and that is an indictment on the government but there is no government that has not had similar issues.

TheSuperNerd:
Africanfootball.com is your source. I knew u'll start asking for "proof". Go read up the news archives on the falcons issues on africanfootball and many other sites. It's no false news.

In the name of defending dalung you call this false news. Abeg.. E don do.. I'm done. *Smh*

As for your answer, sorry... Not cogent enough. That flight was chartered. And millions was readily put together and spent. So much for the cash-strapped NFF and the minister's words on the Govt not being ready to welcome "champions" as they weren't expecting victory. *smh*

I've had enough of this Dalung/NFF issue. *back to the other side of the coin... The side that truly matters... Our players*

BascoVanVeli:


Your news was completely false, i just caught a repeat of Africa Sports On, on supersports. Do u know that Pinnick and Dalung were with the super falcons upon landing? Do u know that paracetamol had a banquet for the team upon landing in Nigeria and it was attended by Dalung and Pinnick? All talk about chartered flight is false i saw with my own eyes Pinnick carrying his own luggage walking with the team at the airport, so there goes ur they left them in Cameroon arguement. Be on the look out they will air it again this weekend.

TheSuperNerd:
They were with the team upon landing in Nigeria NOT with the team after the trophy presentation till departure from Cameroun.

That's my point. So pls don't twist things to favor your beloved Dalung. The players made their complaints because they had a hard-time making it home from cameroun. They had to sleep at the airport before departure for Nigeria. Abeg tell me Dalung slept with them too....


You're trying too hard to defend that man. The truth cannot hide brova.


And yes they were hosted and given about 50,000 or so each by a sponsor who hosted them in lagos. BUT WAS ALL WELL?? NOOOO...

The players played along and decided they will make their stand when they are settled in their hotel. Being hosted by a sponsor is nothing. It hasn't settled what the ladies want. Their pay!

Biko don't bring me back to this issue... Dalung is the biggest mistake in the history of Nigerian sports. A man who is two-faced and cannot hold his tongue or better still cannot find a wise way to communicate his words. Pity...*smh*

BascoVanVeli:

If u knew all this then why didn't u say so before? U r making things up as u go my brother, u are the only one twisting things to favour himself. How can u agree they landed together but yet u are making up a story about them being stuck at the airport before take off. If Dalung just ran along and left how do they land at the same time? Are u saying the girls caught up in the air? I am not defending Dalung but i am against using false stories and dubious understanding of his words to bash him.

TheSuperNerd:
Did you read my reply at all?? I never said they landed in the same flight... I never said they travelled together. Dalung and co had the chartered flight. The Falcons slept a night at the airport in yaounde before departure.

Also, I said they (the super falcons team) were received at the airport. Dalung didn't travel with the team. Period!

@bolded.... Na so... Something you've been doing since morning. Make I hear word joor. Looll
l

Dalung's words are his doom. Understanding him is very simple. He's careless and unreasonable in thinking and with words. It's a pity he's sports minister really.

P.S: I know these details and many more because I followed almost every update of the Falcons from various news sites like Africanfootball.com, allnigeriasoccer, Owngoalnigeria, theguardian, thepunch.. Etc... I didn't like what I saw and only posted the ones I could on the falcons thread coz I couldn't stand the nonsense brewing anymore. Some of these stories are now deep into those sites' archives.

So if only you had keenly followed the matter like I did, you won't be here telling me what I say is "fake".

BascoVanVeli:


These are lies that u are saying, go watch that supersport show interview them at the airport upon landing and u will also see Pinnick walking behind them with his luggage. They never slept behind they all flew in together the end. U said Dalung just up and left the team in Cameroon and now when i give u facts that prove different u r dancing around.

BascoVanVeli:


This has not even reached 2 weeks u can find them(articles) and prove me wrong instead of just repeating that i am wrong. Better yet just watch the show when they repeat it then make ur stance.

The Arsenal youngster explains how Super Eagles fans are much louder than Premier League supporters and describes the crazy scenes on his debut

A former boss of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Kojo Williams insists that Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr is a class above other coaches, who have handled the Super Eagles in the last 15 years.

Gernot-Rohr

TheSuperNerd:




Iwobi described the crazy scenes on his Nigeria
debut and suggested fans in the country of his
birth are much noisier within grounds than their
Premier League counterparts.

“At my debut we played in a stadium that holds
30,000 and there was 60,000 – I don’t
understand how. People were standing on the
floodlights, on the scoreboard," he added. "I was thinking, ‘What? This isn’t even safe!’

"But people there will do anything to watch the
match. Sometimes in a Premier League game the fans are a bit quiet but in Nigeria you just hear trumpets, everything. The atmosphere is so different compared to England"

Kog45:
Good analysis and well explained

TheSuperNerd:
Oga... You are so "WRONG" loolll IT'S EMPHATIC!

So Dalung and Pinnick won't welcome them at the airport again? The fact that they walked out of the airport terminal with the team meant they all boarded the same flight?? Na wa... You're pushing your Dalung-defence too hard.

safarigirl:
azzin. When we won the AFCON in 2013, did GEJ not give the players National honours and even gave them land in choice parts of Abuja?

If one of those players are in a financial constraint today, a land in Maitama or so will get you a hefty sum running into tens of millions.

The U17 set of Kelechi and xo also got heavy support. When Keshi and the NFF had issues, GEJ and Abdullahi waded in and secured Keshi's job.

Imagine the useless, incompetent NFF threatening to ban players and coaches for daring to fight for their just due, Imagine! Can such rubbish happen under GEJ?

Those girls would have at least gotten $10,000 each and a nice plot of land in some highbrow area if they brought a RECORD 10th AWCON trophy to Nigeria, yet Buhari can't even host them for an hour...okay forget Bihari, can't Aisha herself host them in Aso Rock as a woman?

Haba! These people in power have ridiculed our sports too much. Kuku no kill yourself for Nigeria

TheSuperNerd:
Knock yourself out...

You expect me to dedicate my time to go around digging up "specific" past news online right? Sorry bruv... I'm not jobless. There's a reason why the internet is accessible for everyone. So help yourself instead

But hey! found one up there shaa..... Saved it when I encountered it firstly and never knew it will come in handy.... #HappyReading

tbaba1234:
Just saw kelechi Nwakali's goal, really good.

BascoVanVeli:


Give it a rest u are wrong, so do u go to welcome people at the airport with ur own luggage in tow?

denniece1:

Link Pls, didn't find it on youtube

TheSuperNerd:
Oga Elder Kog45.... I no even see Thompson Usiyen for ya list... He had 15goals in 24games for the then Green Eagles... Guy was a super striker back then.

On the issue of Kanu...... Make the big ogas chook mouth first before I talk. **takes backseat..... Places bag on it to reserve it and returns to labs**

BascoVanVeli:


what does being jobless have to do with it? U post news everyday so why u wan make excuses now? U just hate being wrong, i find it actually funny that u think u are god and can never be wrong. U can try to ridicule me but i am sure if people are being honest they can see the truth so that's fine by me.

Mickael2:


I know i didn't want to get involved but seriously bro, you are backing DALUNG?! As in the same Dalung that we all know is the most incompetent sports minister in the whole world?! So you didn't know that the falcons would win this AWCON? I know i did. So a sports minister that believes that we are just going to the Olympics and world cup to make up the numbers there isn't incompetent?! Oga, I do not know if you a thorough Buhari apologist but seriously i can't even believe you are saying this na

TheSuperNerd:
And I ask, what does that prove?? That they were on the same flight with the falcons? So they switched in mid-air from their chartered flight to the falcons' flight?



Hmmm.... E be lyk say you don't understand the game these politicians and administrators play.... Or you don't know how..... *lemme save that sentence*


Anyway, I'm afraid the link I dropped shows that yet again, You are so wrong.

Accept it and move on. Your defence of Dalung have failed woefully. The dude is two-faced and "irritatingly" gullible.

TheSuperNerd:
I post news daily or almost daily because I choose to and have a purpose for it. I select what I give my precious time to.

So yes "jobless" have a lot to do with it.

Have you checked the news link I dropped? before you start running all over the place with words that show pure emotions

It's not a crime to be right all the time, is it?

You just wanna catch me wrong, is that it? Looolll

Oga... You don miss am. Dalung was not on same flight with them. So give it a rest.

BascoVanVeli:


So becos of ur dislike for him u are willing to overlook clear facts? I am not into politics boss at all so fall back with the Buhari apoligist talk. The world cup comment was not so bad it just should not have come from the minister but u can't tell me Nigerians are not hungry or that u know for a fact that the world cup has not been rigged in the past. Everytime someone disagrees on this thread it is straight to personal bashing why na? Why can't we just agree to disagree? Well i know that u guys know i'm right that's wat counts. I had been willing to drop this topic if not for the lies people are spreading, i just can't stand fake news or mischievious understanding of the news.

BascoVanVeli:



See this guy o, ofcourse it proves they flew in together. Your BS chartered plane was what everyone used. U are using people's dislike for Dalung to promote lies, u just ran into the wrong one. I can tell u i hate u and still defend u if i feel u are right. I never let me personal feelings get in the way of reality. I guess u do so lets move on cuz u won't win this one here.
