Nigerian Female Footballers Seen Kneeling To Collect Entitlements From Sports Minister (Photos)

A Nigerian identified as Alexis Onome-Egborge, has taken to social media to share a clip of Nigeria's U20 women team kneeling down in front of the Minister of Sports and other government officials to collect their entitlements.

The video which emerged online, sparking controversy on social media, shows some of the players kneeling before Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung and other officials as one of them counted her money.

Alexis shared the video and wrote: "Shame. Nigeria's U20 girls being paid by Dalung. They knelt down to count their entitlement as if there are no better ways of doing this. The real reason Dalung is fighting NFF."

Expectedly, the video sparked outrage online and led to people calling Dalung and other officials out. However, some pointed out that it's possible the women chose to kneel on their own and were not mandated to.
