God bless u! This is exactly my sentiment. Much as I relish our victorious outing, and unreservedly congratulate the Eagles for bringing the trophy home, I take very strong exception to the president dolling out national honours like he's sharing groundnuts? This man has succeded in bastardizing every single symbol of honour this country has. Even though some of his predisessors might have done dsame, jonathen seems to be a trail blazer in this regard, giving it out to confirmed crooks in the NASS and some 'movie stars'! The national honours is now as worthless as the 'peace ambasadorship' every musa, obinna, and bola can purchase as long as they have money.
A better idea in my opinion wouldave been to erect a monument in their honour. A symbol that younger ones can see and aspire to having one of theirs put up some day in future. Such monuments would even help give some kind of aesthetic apeal to the city of Abuja. The more the statues or monuments, the better.
Why the hell does he think in order to motivate a people to victory you must give them money, plenty of it. This is one aspect of our lives in this country that we must try to put an end to. It doesn't have to be about money all the time. Honour and glory too do matter. Besides, weren't they being paid their wages for every match they palyed? Or has winning the cup become a favour to us?
It is high time we started being prudent in the choices and decisions we make in this country.
Enough of all these childishness.

Ucheosefoh: U are talking this trash cus u are nt among them or have a brother in that team u will be saying another thing

TimePiece: Good for the Super Eagles and the technical crew but i'd like to know again the economic worth of this win for the country.

jp philips:


Mr please define "NATIONAL HONOR"............(5marks)

safarigirl: My jaw literally fell when I heard what the SE team would get for their trophy. Even the Spanish team didn't get half of that when they won the World Cup, some of these guys are over-night billionaires. The ones wey vex me pass na those players wey no even touch ball for the tournament don get OON & billions. Hmm, and someone said education is key- maybe key to a Volkswagen Passat

olushowunm: I THINK I'M GOING TO SOUND DIFFERENTLY ON THIS ISSUE... FIRST, PLEASE TAKE MY CONTRIBUTION AS OBJECTIVE VIEW AND NOT AS PERSONAL ATTACK ON ANYBODY....
MY QUESTION IS WHY WASTE SO MUCH RESOURCES ON A FOOTBALL TEAM BECAUSE THEY WON A CUP
IT CAN ONLY HAPPENS IN AFRICA AND I KNOW IT MAY NEVER STOP! ITS GOOD TO PLAY FOR YOUR COUNTRY, BUT WHY WASTE MEAGRE RESOURCES THAT CAN BE CHANNELED TO DEVELOP OTHERS WHO MAY ONE DAY WIN SOMETHING THE COUNTRY ARE WE NOT IN NIGERIA, WHAT HAS MIKE ADENUGA, DANGOTE, OVIA AND ELUMELU DONE TO HELP YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS THAT WILL CREATE JOBS FOR YOUTHS LETS START WITH DANGOTE, HE HAS DONE VIRTUALLY NOTHING EXCEPT THE DANGOTE FOUNDATION WHICH IS NOT EVEN DOLING OUT CASH TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS THAT NEEDS THE CASH EXCEPT FOR THE MEDIA FRENZY THAT DANGOTE DONATES 5BILLION NAIRA!
ADENUGA HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ENCOURAGE ENTREPRENEURSHIP EXCEPT WASTING RESOURCES FROM THE MASSES TO ENRICH FOOTBALLERS, MUSICIANS, AWUJALE AND OTHER CULTURAL FESTIVALS...

Symphony007: Why did'nt they dash them wives too? Rubbish! Everybody is so high on this "nations cup" euphoria that you don't realise how wastefull the government is getting. This money is now part of the pile they've already gotten from people like adenuga and dangote..a nations cup will not solve a single problem in the country o!! But thos money wasted would have gone a long way!

porka:

It stimulates National Confidence.

The economic worth can never be quantified.

A country's economy rests on an intangible asset called CONFIDENCE.

My sister, Nigeria needs the National Pride more than anything at this time of massive cynicism.

The matches were won transparently, there were no fixing, there were no shortcuts, the guys played, they won, they made all of us proud.

Godogwu:

No offense though but you sound quite dumb. First of all most of these players earn crap to me ( the ones that play in Nigerian clubs) so i believe they fully deserve whatever they are given. I keep saying this; some Nigerians just want to sit in their homes doing nothing while the government provides their every need and I swear you are a nitwit if you think the FG is your mother or father that is meant to feed you.

Do you know Dangote and Adenuga are the highest employers in Nigeria?..... Dangote group is the highest employer of Nigerian youths at the moment. You said you don't know what his foundation is doing? Say that B.S to over 500 million dollars that has been put into that foundation.... Again which youths don't have jobs? The ones with third class degrees? Or the ones that studied mass com and want a job in shell or Nnpc? Please!!!!!!! Have a sit. \_______

The FG gave them honors, cash and plots of land.... They didnt give them 1/50th of the budget..... Just over a million dollars by my calculations. The enterprenuers actually gave more in terms of cash than the FG with roughly $2m from Dangote, $1m from Adenuga, and another $1m from Ovia and Elemelu.

Frankly I believe it's time Africa puts focus in sports, athletics and other aspects of life rather than just education. Everyone is definitely not cut out for school.

Finally you said this only happens in Nigeria yea?

Now have sense

playah P: This incentive is way too much!
Why not use it to develope grass root football?... If the grass-root football is developed, then winning the afcon and even world cup would be possible....
They did their job for Nigeria very well!! They should be rewarded but what about the paralympians?? Didn't they win gold for us... Were they celebrated and rewarded this much??
What did they give to the paralympians??... Are they not human beings too?
Fairness and equity; that's not showing here.

These fund they are wasting should be used to develope grass-root football.. So we can discover month mikel, more okocha, kanu, another amokachi and many more!!

Haba!
