Nigerians have reacted aggressively to comments credited to Minister of Sports Solomon Dalung on the Nigeria’s female national football team.
Dalung told State House correspondents that had the government been confident that the team would win the trophy, the process of paying their entitlements would have been planned.
"Don't forget that nobody even knew the team would emerge victorious. If we were confident they would emerge victorious, all the federation would have done is to plan for process of participation and entitlement. And when they win, it's already established in sports tradition that when you win, this is what you're entitled to.
Nigerians have however lent their voices to the comment. See reactions below:
