Waoh!!!!! I like them joor.. They are not as greedy as there African counterparts. Plus I think they av a group of trustworthy Football Association . If such letter is written to the Nigerian football association am sure d money will not be used for its purpose rather they will share it among themselves.

Nice gesture from the Greek team. Not only Greece, most European countries don't pay much, it is the pride for players to play for their countries. You know why? Because their countries got their back and their government provide everything they need for them.

In Africa the case is different. Most African leaders are corrupt, they fill their pockets at the expense of citizens. So u can't really blame football players who demand for bonus before playing. They are doing their job and should be paid accordingly, or is it better the government put the money in their own pocket? Africa is like a jungle, survival of the fittest. Take naija for example, if after 2 years a player in the Super Eagles get injured and ruins his career while playing for the country, and he goes bankrupt. We all will be asking what he did with all the money he made. The government will wash their hands off such player. We have seen cases of past heroes now living in penury and the country can't do anything to help them.

In this country, u need to grab what u can grab while u have the opportunity. Same thing our politicians are doing, so u can't really blame the players. The government is not doing anything for them, the least they can do is get paid for their work.

I know this from my country that they players will never ask for money but they will be happy to play for their country.

I love what this greec players make that shows that they love their country more than the money and the people in greece will look if they build this house for the team.

Players from a country which economic is not good at the moment.

We shouldn't blame the African players for demanding for there bonuses, they already know how hard things are in their countries and they know their leaders no send them at all, so they have to use any opportunity they have to secure for themselves and there family..abi shey na patriotism they wan chop?.. Unlike these Greece guys, they already have a better life in their country atleast an average person is comfortable and has access to basic human needs, so the money really means nothing to them.
I don't think the African players are being greedy, I think they are simply being wise!

aManFromMars: They can afford to do that over there. They reward patriotism.

Back in Nigeria, to be a patriot is to yearn for poverty. Mediocrity is rewarded and honoured. Be a militant and earn salary from the government. Dine with them at Aso Rock.

Crooks get pardons. Our soldiers are slaughtered daily by Boko haram..

How can you compare classical philosophers to polarized politicians ?

Can you enlist literary works publish by your so called founding fathers ?

if they play and don't get paid, ya'll bite the government.
if they ask for payment before they play, ya'll bite the players.

Children of Africa, where do you stand.
Corruption is not our problem, it is how we respond to situations at any time.
