Members of the FIFA U-17 World Cup winning squad, the Golden Eaglets have confided in Nigerian Pilot that they are yet to recover from the shock after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF handed them a paltry N20,000 each as a rewards from the Government before they dispersed in Abuja last Thursday. “It’s surely not the best way to treat heroes. The money they gave us could not even fetch us flight tickets to take us home to see our loved ones,’’ said one of the players who did not want his name in print for fear of victimisation by officials of the football federation. Another player said on phone yesterday: “I’ve heard about how badly players have been treated in the past. I didn’t think ours would come so soon. I am still, however, grateful to God we came home with the trophy. The victory has opened new doors of opportunity which we are already exploring,’’ said the player who is on verge of sealing a lucrative professional contract with an English Premier League club. Players and officials of the U-17 National Team returned to the country last Wednesday, following a successful campaign at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile. They were driven round parts of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory in a motorcade before the convoy arrived at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel. The new Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalong, later had dinner with the team at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.

NFF must be joking!

The NFF would have raked hundreds of millions from TV rights alone from the tournament and there must be at least one million dollars in prize money for getting the cup.

This old farts at the NFF are bastards.

This is clearly the handiwork of Buhari. He doesn't care if they are discouraged or not. That is the Change my brothers and sisters, let no one complain else you become a wailer.

Kenzico:
NFF must be joking!

Don't be too harsh on NFF. They are mere messengers. Some one must have instructed them.

But if true, in its entirety the act is condemnable.

Back to the stone age
