I really wish PUMA all the best.

fancy_temi Thats great. Sunday Dare should pay the damages please. Alakori eyan!

Who go pay bayi?

Bad news everywhere

This is how their debt contracts with China will be like, Nigeria won't escape it.

ConvertedCode_1 its happening

Good drain them of the money don’t don’t want to give the masses

signsandsymptomsofafailedstate

the North and APC have cost Nigeria alot, the country had given too much to the North, yet they pay Nigeria and Nigerians back with evil and reproach, the north has robbed the country dry, am pained.

In part... “The problem is the minister and sports ministry under his administration. Our problems have never been this worse. Federations have issues but not to this extend. Despite a court order, the minister is resolute in destroying some people.”

I tweeted yesterday that the wind of judgement debt is around the corner. The FG needs to be responsible when going into contractual agreements- Incase of breach let there be amicable methods of ending such contracts.

Would have been happy they are sueing but we are the one that will pay for any amount they sue for. Why not just arrest our president?

Please they should.......

Is the presidency aware 😏

Nothing we no go see for this UAR

Back to back mess!

🥴🥴

This is the best news I have heard in a while.. those involved should b jailed..

Long over due..

Thank God.

Very soon international bodies will hands off their dealings with Nigeria because of incompetent govt

Ordinary agreement Nigeria can't comply. Good as Pums terminate the contract. Make dem go buy Okrika wear. Awon radarada

Pls everything can't be Nigeria. The man the should sue is Sunday Dare

osaroDEV

buchilawsu Zoological Republic of Nigeria...the fulani Islamic gangsters from sahal destroying Nigeria from every angle. The are very corrupt in every capacity. NigeriaBleeds EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives FreeNnamdiKanuNow

I wish all the Asset of all our sport Administerator will be gathered together to settle any claims by PUMA. They have gather enough money over the years let them use it to clear the problem they created due to there greedy mindset.

I love PUMA

Another debt. They will win and Nigeria will be required to pay compensation just like the Chinese deal. Just because of a few people's greed. EFCC won't make arrests or prosecute people. Nigeria is a zoo.

Good

Very nice one dead country

As they should.

PUMA is trying to divide Nigeria 💁‍♂️

I’m sure Lai Mohamed will say they never contacted Puma for any contract 😃OfficialAPCNg

TheKabacci MamOphantom

😂 😂 See watin power tussle dn cause

IAmGregFam Drag them by their nostrils.

d3bayor Sue the mf

Okay

See eheeeen... Puma should exclude the people of Nigeria in the charge, as for me I wasn't there when AFN and Sports ministry were signing deals😂😂

They should take this case to a sharia court so that flogging will be involved.

Need Puma to win this case

Nigeria is such a joke

Normal

celestocalculus Make them use Interpol pack the criminals

Yes!!!

SheffyRayOfLife

Be careful how you sue the zoo. If it's too much, they will go to China to borrow and pay. Best bet is to go for an international ban. Even at that, they can borrow athletes from China. zooinshambles

The youths are the problem of this country, look at the way they always drag the country backwards, I’m tired honestly

Nigeria abi FG?

He couldn't run a ministry well, how can he even run a state ? All because of greed.

Nigerian government will prefer to pay this kind mumu money than to see Nigerians make it.

These guys keep embarrassing the country just for their selfish gain

In Nigeria only one man can give order to terminate the contract between PUMA and AFN just to excise power without considering the consequences of the outcome, no rule of law in any sector.. only in Nigeria, because of peanut

They will say puma is not registered in Nigeria so they should getat. Info ministry and SSA to presidio talk loading...

Nice one from Puma

frediecruze Old news. Their legal department have started sending documents. It's on 😂

PUMA a welcome move...sue them all.

Olympic wer everybody go, see Buhari lead Nigeria own. Shame

If PUMA can do her assignment very well, there is possiblity to cash out from my dear country. Good luck PUMA. Teach all these thieves calling themselves leaders a big lesson

PUMA can be rest assured that they will lose this case.

Way to go.The bastards still never resign after this embarrassment.

That's great!

Very good, sue every1 at the sports ministry & AFN....irresponsible lots.

Not Nigeria but the greedy minister.

chaplinez70 are you going to blame the athletes for this also

Aaaaaaaah. No wonder players were washing jersey in Tokyo 🤦‍♂️

Laslas we go borrow money pay Puma. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

PUMA Well done. Please don’t leave any stone unturned

Puma is suspect

Mykel_MB Incompetence has gone international.

iamDoli_Suave This government just want to remain in the news for useless reasons at all cost

They had it coming....

Zoological country will ever be Zoological country until division take place.

PUMA's action is expected given the uncoordinated leadership in critical sectors of Nigeria

Some good News.

Very good👌

Why is DSS investigating fraud ? …. These politicians can’t even wash their dirty linen in private. Gulible folks would come and defend their principal ..you’ll hear its not presidency …shey na we vote sport minister who’s ego is obviously greater than Nigeria itself ? 😒

👀

Needless drama, serial incompetence!

This government just keep putting Nigeria into mud

This is how the youth has been 'demarketing' the country.

Na so dem go take pay billions so

PUMA, Good decision.
