Nigeria abolish bonuses for world champions Eaglets

Cash-strapped Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have abolished match bonuses for the country’s developmental teams led by five-time U17 world champions Golden Eaglets, president Amaju Pinnick has announced.


The other developmental teams are U17 female team, the Flamingoes, U13 and U15 national teams.

“The players of these national teams will no longer be entitled to match bonus because of lack of funds caused by the economic downturn in the country,” a top official informed.

Pinnick admitted the NFF's poor finances on a television programme on Thursday.

“Funding has been very, very poor for the federation,” restated the NFF boss, who ruled out speculations that some of the national teams will be scraped because of the cash crunch.

The NFF have budgeted more than seven billion Naira for 2016 with most of the cash coming from government subvention.

Play for glory really?
How about the president, governors, NASS and state assembly members, ministers and commissioners, special advisers, govt appointees and of course NFF members work for Glory?
What's the difference between what those boys do and what they do in their various various? They get paid millions of naira for stealing our resources while the boys who actually do us proud, who make us feel proud to be called Nigerians play and work for glory. Are they glory scared?
You need to be reminded that some of those boys even at that tender age have become breadwinners of their various families and from such bonuses they provide for the family.
If the economic downturn is the reason for this decision, then the president and all political appointees should have a cut in their salaries, allowances, travelling estacodes and all that so we know the economy is really biting.

The so called 5% made up 99% of that winning team. The country will never progres until merit is elevated over quota system

This is a bit of a shame. These players will see it as something being taken away from them which isn't a morale booster.

Nigeria should source funding for this!

Random question: are they doing the same for the Eagles?

You are wrong. Back in the day, a long long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, I was a thoroughly talented footballer. I was a member of the Osjack and Abuede football clubs (in that order) which was at the time the main poaching ground for coaches recruiting for the under 17 and 21 National teams. I was actually called up twice for tryouts but never made the final list. When we played, we played for pride, ambition and the enjoyment of the game. We did not play for money. We were supposed to be young, remember? Maybe that's why we were so good. Now the focus is on money. Don't get me wrong, money is important but not at that age level. Maybe now, we'll start using true under 17 players.
