Super Falcons players who have been in camp for two weeks preparing for the 2004 Olympics Games in Athens have not received their daily allowances as promised by the sports ministry.

The sports ministry became custodians of the female national team for the games on behalf of the Nigeria Football Association because of their feat at the All Africa Games in Abuja where they captured the soccer gold.

Sources informed Daily Independent that since the players reported to camp, they were yet to duly briefed by the ministry officials on how their entitlements would be met despite assurances that they would not lack the basic needs.

Although the problem has not spilled into complaints galore, the source however hinted that players are disturbed that the attitude of the ministry might consequently disrupt preparations.

"Nobody is telling us anything, we only hear that the players would be settled very soon. But when it would happen, is what l cannot say," said the source.

"This was exactly what NFA was doing when they were in charge. There has never been a time when the players are settled appropriately. It is either they are short-changed or not paid at all," lamented the source.

Wow the sad saga continues i wonder where ROBBYNICE is to come and shed more light to the story. Since he is the spokesman for NFA and Sports Ministry he will try to put his usual spin into things....

What a pity...

Too bad if true, funny the Falcons players did not mention it when we met last saturday.
What bother them most now is the fact that Ekeji says they should not be released to play league games for their clubs.
The players are livid and so is Coach Mabo.
According to them the Olympics is still in August and stopping them from playing for their clubs is injustice bearing in mind that their clubs pay them

Pat Ikeji just never seem to go away. His name always seems to pop every now and then. What a disgrace...

Ekeji seems to be a prime candidate for Aro

Imagine saying players should not be released to their clubs

The question I ask myself when I see any news article from a Nigerian source is "Is this true"? It is no different in this case. Even people like ikwerreman, who have access to the team doesn't know about it meanwhile we have MI5 jumping on the story. Wonders they say shall never end.

KOC,

How did this yeye guy get in there in the first place? He seems to represent doom anywhere he goes. I will never forgive him and croonies for what they did at ACB and how they ran it aground. Yet he becomes the Dir of Sports development, what a shame....

As usual Robbynice always looking the other way and not speaking the truth because your bosses are involved. When are you going to stand for something.?

How would you feel if you were told not to go back to work and stay in place doing nothing pls tell me how would you feel?
