Sometimes i wonder if buhari is a Nigerian because of his character of integrity, sincerity and uprightness. God why didn't you give buhari to us sooner than this and instead cursed us with a clueless person. Anyway, God 'nose' best.

The curse is for yourself only, don't include others.

was it only the 1986 set he rewarded with N2m each? what about this present under 17 set that won the trophy for the 5th time, i mean this present osimhen/nwakali set? werent they rewarded? Brila fm reported they were also at the villa including the para-Olympians and the the nations basketball team the TIGERS. were they not rewarded as well? @op, ur reportage of this news is flawed. just my observation

Whichever ever God you pray to, ask him for more wisdom...so that you can think deeply , and process your thoughts better before rushing to type in public.

Recent wimners are young and have a whole life ahead of them and blossoming careers that will fetch them millions.

The 85 set are matured family men who now have huge responsibilities but may not have the wherewithal to meet them.

Then for the sake of justice it makes sense if they are given something tangible to right the wrong of over 30 years.

If Buhari is fulfilling a promise made 31 years later

Then, those waiting for 5k should wait for another 31 years

Look on the bright side sha

It would have accrued more interests..

Calling the German Chancellor as president of West Germany
Submitting two versions of the national budget to NASS
Announcing N200 million each to the 1985 Eaglets instead of N2million each.

Buhari was overthrown a few days after the team won the cup and returned. NTA could not transmit the matches live because the tournament held in Beijing (then still known as Peking), so the matches were shown as delayed matches. No one took the tournament serious as this was the very 1st edition. First they beat Italy in a match where Lucky Agbonsevbafe saved a penalty. Then they drew goalless with Saudi Arabia, beat Costa Rica 3-0 and qualified for the quarter final.

They came from behind to beat Hungary 3-1 with a hattrick from Bella Momoh, beat Guinea 5-3 on penalties and then beat the highly fancied West German team 2-0 despite playing with 10-men for much of the second-half.

To put it in perspective, that West German team featured players like Marcel Witeczek who was the highest goal scorer in that tournament and also in Chile 87 two years later, and who later featured for Bayern Munich.

NODODY GAVE THAT TEAM A CHANCE. They were the first Nigerian team to win a FIFA organized tournament in an era where racism in football was very open (notice how the linesman was shouting at the players to go back so the game could be restarted quickly). People only picked interest when they qualified for the semis. The goal scored by Victor Igbinoba in stoppage time that gave Nigeria the 2-nil advantage in that match was a classic. You can see it on here.

How many of our Super Eagles strikers have scored a goal of such quality in recent times? Those boys did us proud and the fact that IBB and other Presidents could not honour those promises until 31 years later is a testament to how we treat our heroes.

What thrilled me most was not just the reward of N2million each to the members of the 1985 edition but the transparency that characterised the monetary awards as the President painstakingly announced the cash benefits categorically. By that, everyone knows how much the country spent rewarding her sports ambassadors.

Dude, did I disagree with you or lord Buhari?

And don't bother telling me the story because I was very much around then

I simply said the expectees of 5k should wait

How is that a federal felony?

"Buhari however caused a stir when he first mistakenly announced rewards of N200m each for the players". shocked
Even the athletes and players would know that Sai Buhari would not make such huge expense in January. grin
