Firstly I hope he brought money from 1985 to pay them or where will the 2m naira each come from? Secondly, if this is true and he actually made the decision himself how can he still go to the podium and announce 209m naira? The man does not know how to read cos it's obvious he just read out wat was on paper, he doesn't even know value of money, imagine mistaking 2m for 200m. Mehn I cant believe this! Meanwhile, where will the money come from? That's my own issue here, cos it definitely isn't in any budget. This man called buhari needs to be saved from himself.[sub][/sub]

Buhari should work more on fulfilling recent promises than one from 31 years ago. He is not going to be judged based on little gimmicks like this but on the credibility of his promises during the elections. Fulfill just 2 of your major campaign promises and watch Nigerians vote for you again in 2019!

stagger:

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.

You made my eyes water.

The winners of 1985 get N2m each after 30 years

The winners of 2015 get N20k (according to trentonline); I suppose 2015 winners will get their proper gift of N2m in 2045

. Have you bothered to find out how much the current winners were given at the same event before you go about with your shameless propaganda?

IF I DIE TODAY AND LEAVE THIS PLANET! 1 thing I will always remember is how incredibly full of sh**, NIGERIANS were. Nigeria is by far the greatest country in AFRICA because it is the NIGGADOMwhere AFRICANS originate from. But today Ethiopia who's wealth isn't half that of nigeria. Country has modern working trams. YOU KNOW WHAT IR PROBLEM IS NIGERIA......You are a disturbed bunch! Distraught! There is something you must do as a nation that ur DESPARATELY focusing on not doing......or u just don't want to do it. But perhaps scared to do it......your inner selves are disturbed. You have such a WAR living and HARBORING inside of you. That it's affecting the very way you see life. THE RESOURCES THOSE ARABS USE TO BUILD THAT PALACE U HAVE THEM UNDER UR FEET. But ur so busy fighting amongst one ONOTHER, Yoruba vs. Igbo. And the most meaningless fights are the ones you take the most serious. It's like ur picking on each other because ur afraid to face the big Elephant sized problem sitting above ur head. AFRICA IS POOR BECAUSE OF A SYSTEMIC ARAB PLOT. Nigeria is dysfunctional because the Turks and the Saudi Arabiams have see to it, with their disjointed Hausa Berber Affilliations. SOONER OR LATER BEFORE AFRICA ENTERS THE FIRST WORLD OF DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BRAVELY COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THE 1000 TONE MAMMOTH SITTING ON OUR HEADS. AND THAT IS THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY WERE THE MIDDLE MANAGEMENT ASSIGNED TO KEEP AFRICANS DOWN. THE REASON WHY AFRICA PRESENCE IN THE WORLD IS VIETUALLY UNHEARD OFF FOR THE THE LAST HALF A CENTURY. And I fear that soul tuition will involve a collaboration with white people. And inevitable Armageddon like WAR. To kick the parasites off our heads.. But with modern guns we can get the better of them. Because they too received assistance from the white people. Initially as they over power Us.

Only One Question?

His action is highly commendable but
1. Which Budget did he pay out from: 1984 budget or 2016 budget

2. From whose account did this sum come out from? FG or Private purse.

3. Which parliament authorize such disbursement if it was from FG coffers?

Nigerians ask questions

And did you bother to ask why he could not fulfil his promise right away? Let me cure your ignorance, buhari could not fulfil his promise then because he was overthrown an yet he never forgot about them...... A mark of a great man. And a big amen to your prayer because no sense is too much sense and i pray you also find the courage to use your sense because i know its somewhere in your head.

What is it with you people?

That team was named the Baby Eagles. It was Buhari who gave the team the name they still carry today: THE WORLD GOLDEN EAGLETS (World was later removed in 1987).

The Saudi '89 team were given 75,000 each and 10,000 shares in AP (now Forte Oil owned by Otedola). Do you know the worth of such money then and now? My dad's salary then was 1,000 a month then and we were not living badly.

If you extrapolate to present-day, N2m is still a substantial sum. What did IBB, Shonekan, Abacha, Abdulsalam Abubakar, OBJ and Jonathan do for these guys?

Buhari was overthrown less than 2 weeks after the team won the tournament. That was why the promise took 31 years. At least he remembered.
