This is arrant nonsence, seriously i dont know how we gonna develop in our sports angle in Nigeria, take a good look at what the sports minister said, May God help us Nigerians :
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 Cameroon , 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."
