UP SCORE LIONESSES, DOWN SCORE FOOTBALL/SPORT AUTHORITIES whatever the outcome of todays african womens championship final with nigerias super falcons in windhoek, namibia, our linesses have already proven their worth. (no, we arent settling for less if we can get more). but look at a team that has performed feats without their deserved bonuses. cameroonjournal/cameroon-lionesses-qualify-for-afcon-finals-world-cup-but-denied-bonuses/ some bad governance apologists will come tell us here that the girls are a lesson to the world cup boys. that patriotism should stand above quest for money. great, and nonsense! what this simply means is that, even after the world cup debacle, even after the commission of inquiry, even after the head of states measures professing to remedy our football, the authorities havent learned anything. we hear the old complaint that money isnt ready. heavens come down! did the namibia tournament land in our face - by surprise? didnt we know we would be taking part in the african female championship this october? how come dues were not handy? and this, after the president decided that all national team selections will be catered for like the senior male football team, by the state treasury. now, will this become a new excuse to deny players their dues at future competitions? will they be told behave like the lionesses. go and win for cameroon even on an empty stomach. go find out if our b.i.rs tormenting boko haram up north are fighting on an empty stomach. why this perpetual poor treatment of heroes of our football - this football of our national pride? and what if the lionesses had been out-performed, would we have resorted to another commission of inquiry? wont that be like consulting a witchdoctor when we already know the root cause of our problem? they tried to frustrate enow ngachu and his girls, the lionesses shamed them.
