What I read on Operat News was 1 million naira not $20,000.

But nevertheless, Congrats to Rivers United F.C. I wish Oluyole warriors can step up their game.

The question mow is can Rivers United win CAF Champions League(CCL) next year?

It's actually $2000
2000*500= 1,000,000

How I wish KOGI State can be serious with something for ones ....

Kogi State/Kogi UTD still have 375years to go.
Until they stop hoping to buy slot for NNL and also take sports seriously, they can't achieve such.

evidently Nigeria billions and trillions are in the hands of few criminal politicians. Go get them to pay, demand our monies from them and stop kidnapping ordinary people that are lookin for daily bread.

Very useless governor, wasting Rivers State money anyhow, in case you're wondering I'm from Rivers State and stay in Rivers State.

Naija8240:
Just imagine this guy spending Rivers money money like a personal bank account . God hv mercy !!

I just people can't see this and they keep praising him for spending State money like is from his pocket.

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has rewarded managers and players of the state’s football team $20,000 each for winning the Nigerian Professional Football League title.

The Port Harcourt based club confirmed this on its Facebook page on Thursday: “Rivers state governor Nyesom Wike rewards members of Rivers United FC with $20,000 each for winning the @Llll#NPFL22 season.”

robosky2, this is commendable. One hopes NFF will reward you too. You did great job of reporting in the preceding season.

AmazingELixir:


Yes Rivers united is a state sponsored club and there should be reward for bringing glory to the state.

Sports in Nigeria are basically state sponsored, Just as Buhari recently approved the bonuses of the Super Falcons after they protested against backlogs of unpaid allowances.

So youngman stop wailing and felicitate with people in times of their successes, it will also interest you to note that Rivers united did not only top the league but they broke the premiership record by winning the title with the highest point of 77 and a margin of 10points to their closest rival, they also produced the first and third highest goal scorer awards, conceded the least numbers of goals and recorded the highest away wins.

All these impressive achievements should count for something.

Their achievement is not the issue
The issue is should a governor be allowed to spend state money as he deems fit? Regardless of the approved budget
Today it is football, tomorrow it will be governor's birthday or his grandson's naming ceremony.

The problem with nigerians is selfish interest. You will happily defend anything because you like the person. But when someone u dont like does exactly the same thing, you start crying corruption!

This is commendable. Not the one Akwa United won last season and uptil now the okpetu okpetu qq

This is commendable. Not the one Akwa United won last season and uptil now the okpetu okpetu governor udom has not given them anything even a bag of sachet water.

To your question the answer is yes...the law permits such expenditure so long as they are judicious.

This is commendable, I just hope that the pledge is redeemed
