Nigeria female football national team, the Super Falcons, have stormed the National Assembly protesting the refusal of the Nigerian Football Federation to pay their entitlements.
Recall, the team won the 10th edition of the African Women championship just concluded in Cameroon but were held up in a hotel in Abuja, many days after they returned to the country with the trophy, owing to non-payment of their entitlements.
The ladies are hoping that President Muhammadu Buhari, who is due to visit the National Assembly today to present the estimates of the 2017 budget to lawmakers, will see them and show pity on their plight.
Some of their placards read, “We are your children, pity us”; “Let us respect women”; “female football deserves respect.”
