Nigeria’s Minister for Sports, Solomon Dalung, is currently trending on social media, after he called the USA, ‘The United States of Nigeria’ on live television.

While addressing the situation of the U-23 players stranded in Atlanta, the minister said;

“Our U-23 team suffering in the United States of Nigeria, What are there for? Because they are U-23 and they went to US and they are having problems, does that become our business?”

As expected, his blunder has set the social media on fire and the minister has also set his Twitter account to private after heavy bashing from Nigerians.

Hilarious response from Nigerians when you continue…
