  • The Nigerian Sports Minister Has A Silly Excuse For Super Falcons’ Allowance Delay

    The Nigerian female soccer team, Super Falcons, made all of us proud when they won the 2016 African Women’s Cup Of Nations in Cameroon.

    Their victory was certainly no surprise; the Super Falcons were the defending champions of the title.

    Surprise, surprise, the Nigerian government has failed to pay them allowances accumulating to about N238.05m.

    Punch reports that the Super Falcons are currently in a face-off with the Nigerian Football Federation.

    The Nigerian sports minister, Solomon Dalung, however has a very, very stupid reason for the non-payment.

    According to Dalung, the allowances were not prepared because “nobody even knew the team will emerge victorious”.

    Please sir, come again?

    With all due respect sir (which is none), this statement is senseless.

    Before you talk next time, consult your brain!

  • 11 Times Nigerian Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung Won The Internet

    11 Times Nigerian Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung Won The Internet
    Apparently, Nigeria’s current sports minister, Solomon Dalung, has been dropping gems on  social media universe long before you can imagine. He’s one of the cool kids and here are some of the times he slayed us with his posts on Twitter.

    1. Once upon a time, he used to be a farmer.

    2. That time he celebrated his birthday in the bush.

    3. When he forgot how to spell ‘slippers’.

    4. That time he crossed 7 rivers and seas in search of peace.

    5. We don’t know who sent him message sha.

    6. When he used style to show us his nice car.

    7. When he was thinking with his sunshades on.

    8. He even went to Sambisa forest in search of the missing Chibok girls.

    9. When he was dropping punchlines as per, Dalung the Rapper (M.I please shift abeg).

    10. When he was basically speaking in tongues. (Please someone should come and help us translate this one o!)

    11. When he threw shade at himself.

  • Nigeria Won Her First Game At The Rio Olympics And We Can’t Stop Smiling

    Nigeria Won Her First Game At The Rio Olympics And We Can’t Stop Smiling
    In case you missed it, the Super Eagles Under-23 Team has clinched its first victory at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, despite some serious glitches.

    Even after Olivia the Parrot (soccer psychic) predicted a Japan win, the U-23 team beat Japan 5-4, bringing Nigeria her first win at Rio 2016.

    This victory comes as a big surprise, considering the incredible amount of stress the U-23 team members went through just hours before the match.

    The Nigerian sports ministry, ever so organized, somehow had the team stranded in Atlanta, USA. The team missed a flight last Friday due to a communications mix-up.

    Another flight was booked for Wednesday this week, but unfortunately could not transport all the team members at once.

    Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung while addressing the cause for the delay implied that the government was not responsible for it.

    Planning and logistics for the team is the direct responsibility of the Nigerian Football Federation, but would it hurt if the sports minister showed some concern?

    Delta Airlines had to come to our rescue. General Manager, Mike Lowry, and his team prepped a plane in time for an early flight to Manaus, 6 hours before the game, FREE OF CHARGE!

    The drama did not end there. A wrong National Anthem was mistakenly played before the match.

    Even after that experience, Oghenekharo Etebo scored 4 goals in a single match! That was after Sadiq Umar scored a goal in the first 7 minutes of the game.

    We just want to thank the Nigerian Government, especially the Honorable Minister for Sports, Solomon Dalung, for all the support they’ve shown the Dream Team VI so far.

    In fact, the way our government is treating Nigerian Athletes representing us at Rio 2016 is too wonderful! Continue!

    Against all odds, we see our team is ever ready. According to Team Captain Mikel Obi: “We may be tired and frustrated, but we’re all still together and ready to win gold in Rio.”

    Nigerian Athletes, please continue with the good work o! We wish you all another amazing Atlanta ’96 win!
