Most pathetic minister of all time been awarded. Not surprised at all, THIS IS NIGERIA where leaders walk on their watery brains/head and work with their smelly foot. Disgraceful.
Thumbs up Brotherman. I n I agree with you on this on.
Brodaman, Nigeria’s leadership/present situation truly n painfully bleed the heart. And to think this thing called Dare or Buhari will get awarded just drains every remaining hope of something good happening. I think people are still being deceived that Nigeria is like every other sane country where there are standards/working system of doing things for everyone. ABOUT TIME EVERY NIGERIAN STARTED TO REALISE NIGERIA HAS BECOME A JUNGLE WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE UP YOUR WEAPON, GO OUT TO THESE CRIMINALS UP THERE AND GET YOUR SHARE OF THE NATIONAL CAKE OTHERWISE YOU CONTINUE IN SOME BEAUTIFUL FANTASIES. THESE CRIMINAL LOTS DONT DESERVE A PINCH OF RESPECT.
Under blind ministers, stadiuns are decayed, pitches are like cassava farms, hundreds of athletes return with 3 or 4 medals, Nigeria is in disgrace globally for not payibg coaches, for drugs and age cheats.
Congrats sir. You have tried your best and appreciate the little you have done for the sports. Let those who feel they can do better go and apply for the position when vacant. Only haters will come and be ranting needlessly has though its easy
@ Festus this has nothing to do with hate for Dare or anyone. God forbid. It’s has everything to do with the fact that our leaders are taking advantage of a country that has crucified accountability; so everything goes. They only do things to suit themselves n cohorts not minding the majority cry. In a sane country, when performing to promise fail, you honourably resign but not Nigeria.
DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA IS COUNTER DEMOCRACY DEFINED AS GOVERNMENT OF THE FEW, FOR THE FEW AND OF FEW THIEVES. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRIBES. JUST THESE VERY FEW THIEVES ARE MANIPULATING THE MAJORITY.
HOW NIGERIANS STILL TALK OF DEMOCRACY BEATS ME. WHAT DEMOCRACY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT. BBC director, resigned recently for something a Nigerian will laugh about, another top top government official for not being polite to staff resigned too n many others. Think brodaman about these things and please don’t conclude I hate anybody, not even on this forum. I am only pained that Nigeria is just been held HOSTAGE
Nigeria was formerly known as SLAVE COAST. This is a country of sycophants
I’m speechless. I read comments above and I am so excited about this. Nigerians are seeing the reason why I keep talking Nigeria leaders/government.
They don’t deserve our respect. Mr. Dare should reject this award. I thought he would be different but no.
With what we are seeing in Algeria at the moment concerning their facilities, I don’t think Nigerians can be boastful of a world class stadium in Nigeria presently. Can we? If yes, then show me one.
Algeria FA is not NFF. They love their country and they want the best for their people. Not like our own NFF that sees white and call it black. Just because they want to benefit from everything they do.
Owing their employees salaries but paying themselves each month. What can we call that? Wickedness ba?
Same thing with the Nigeria government. If Nigeria is not a joke country, how would Nigerians allow another president Buhari to represent them again? Are they not having young vibrant and talented generation of people to take over from our oppressors?
We are coward that loves the best things but not ready to confront our oppressors.
I hope Edoman can understand why I keep mentioning Oga Rohr’s name now?
NFF president wasted Nigeria money for good six years and the former president Amaju Pinnick is still moving around freely? Ah, Nigeria is my country. To be faithful loyal and indeed. Chai. I’m lost for words kę.
I realize now that Nigerians are waking up. In two years time, if nothing changes, Nigerian leaders are in trouble.
It’s getting to a point that Nigerians are voicing out. Very ridiculous kę. I don’t understand this award at all.
Well, truth is hard to tell but truth must be told to the Nigerian government. Hmmm. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
Lol! Wetin person eye no go see for Nigeria!!! Even gan Buhari received
ever best performing president in Nigeria.
Dare don’t worry when your tenure expire by May 29, those hossanah today song they are singing for you will turn to crucifying him.
