Madam, you should be charging at the nff.
Where was your voice when the girls and their coaches complained about the unholy treatment and lack of support from the nff..
Because you are part of those who got the country into the mess, you don’t have the guts to fight for the girls right.
Why will She talk to NFF, is she Sports Minister or President or Senetor. She is the DG of WTO. If you are angry with that, it is your problem. And so she have every right to support her Nigerian children. Just as she is a shinning light for Nigeria in the international scene she is also encouraging her younger sisters and daughters to do the same.
Dr Okonjo-Iweala should instead charge the NFF to pay the Super Falcons tgei allowances, some of which go back to when she was finance minister in Nigeria
Really? So Hatred leads to blindness
To do more? They are useless, I watched the Jamaicans team stopping France, they are compact and well organised, but doubt if these our guinea fowls have got legs to run, not to talk of wings to fly. They don kill African, but walkover for cheap teams around the world, because of lack of organisation.
Helloooo Dave. You didn’t watch any match concerning the super falcon. Canada is one of the best teams in the world and we held them to a draw with 10 women and s penalty save. Remember they are women. Encourage them and come Thursday. I believe strongly Nigeria will not be defeated. At worse it will be a draw. I watched the Australian play Ireland. It was a penalty that saved them. The Australian goalkeeper saved the day for them by stopping a clear goal with her foot. The falcons have a better chance of getting the day come Thursday.
@Esse
Listen guy let me tell you, in addition to what you rightly posted, did you also know that Canada have a MAN playing for their women’s team? His name is Quinn – look it up
He put in a very dangerous tackle on Oshoala in our game against them and the cheat referee did not even give him a booking!
Okonjo iwuela abi na wetin call should go and sit down joor!
All these ITK’s who should hide their faces in shame but will come out and spill bile all over the rags should know that it’s only because Nigeria has a rotten and dysfunctional system and set up otherwise culpable loudmouths like this should long have been dragged before EFCC and put away for a good long time and all Nigeria’s stolen money in their pockets recovered. Mtcheew!
This comment about a woman flying the green, white, green flag in the world and bringing goodwill to Nigeria is unreasonable, to say the least. I bet you are nowhere near her in reputation and international recognition. You should pray your daughters are like her and follow in her footsteps. Or could it be you do not know who you are talking about? Cos this statement beats common sense.
