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.

*goes back to spaceship, will be back to continue my rant*

alekside: The difference in mentality is clear.

delishpot:

Go back. Spaceship don full.
We no want extras.

lat4real:

Mikel Obi, is that you?

jakiedudu: Very admirable. I think the Greece National team gave a good account of themselves thus far in the world cup. Sadly African players are more concern about money than playing for the glory for their countries.

*tear him slap*
spaceship wey me be the conductor, na em you dey tell me say em don full.
*tear him slap again*

Odunharry: i am not rily suprised....their economy is bad and b4 the world cup,some of their players said they wanna put a smile on the face of the Greeks

Bantino: Can this happen in Africa??

neutralwaya:

How can you compare classical philosophers to polarized politicians ?

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

abatically: 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.

there is God. Oya na enter go sidon for that side, no not there!*******To the left ehen! *****Yes, right beside the cow. Good. happy now? #Paybackforthehotslaps.

J0nyb0y: how much is the bonus?

Misterpaul: 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!

hazekctravels:
even if our players decide to do it, our NFA officials will embezzle the money meant for the project, so wats the need..corruption is the gap between Nigeria and development. from leaders to followers are corrupt.. i rest my case

akanbi a a: ok if you are not proud to associate yourself with those I mentioned, what of Wole Soyinka, chinua Achebe and Zulu shofola? It's what we have we make use of and be proud of.
