Can u imagine??
Basketball players got 600k and U 17 got 1.2m?

Smh

Thank Jah
I was a team member of Under 17 players in 1985. May God bless Buhari for me.

I remember he promised us before the tournament but Babangida coup caused the whole Jagajaga.

Shame to IBB

Longlive Nigeria
Longlive Sai Baba
Longlive NFF

Waiting to cash my cheque......praise Chineke

Its okay with all the match bonus

Nice move by my able presido

Is Victor Igbinoba among the squatters?

I can remember vividly that wonderful goal he scored in the final against West Germany in China 1985.

Wonderful strike from outside the 18-yard box with his left foot.

Where those wailers who said PMB gave the u17 players 20k each cuz they are mostly igbos

Kingsley aikhonibare earning money even in death.. his manhood truly lives on.

Smh

Basketball players got clubs they play for and earn while most of those u17 boys are clueless

Amberon:
"list of money"
epic blunder

English teacher, teach us

Lattop:
Thank u Baba even though u never pay me my 5k monthly allowance

You still hoping on that one? You go wait tire.

Moreover, the under 17 won a World Cup, while the Basketballers won a continental title

Guyman02:
Good gesture by Mr President but why would Under 17 players collect N1.2m and their coach Amuneke get less at 900k abi na because him be Omo Nna and also our senior National Basketball team who won the Afro Championship got 600k (Too much preference for footballers)

The coaches deserve more to encourage them to groom talents from scratch.

Mumu even in europe, does mourinho earns more than John terry or Eden Hazard ?
Or does Van Gaal Earns more than Depay ?

Use your brain, don't always be blinded with ethnoreligious issues

Mtcheew

seunajia:
I thought some people said Buhari only gave u-17 20K?

Dont mind the wailing Wailers.

ilyas26:
Buhari is an angel

are you sure? Because some people call him meshiah

Smellymouth:
Can u imagine??

Smh

But initially your type claimed PMB only gave 20k to the under 17. Continue wailing.children of hate.

phrankchek:
gud one my able presido!!!.....soo wey all dos wey dey make noise say na only 20k PMB give u-17 dem??...hahahahaa.....ihere megbuokwe enemies of progress

ignore them jare Na bad belle pipo

Am trying hard to located where 20k is listed as compensation for u17 champions! abi my eyes blind? WAILERS NO GO KILL PERSON! THESE DAYS NA TO D IGNORE UNA

I like this statement.....As you are all aware, the financial resources of our nation have been dwindling since last year. Hence what we are offering you today, is not payment or compensation for winning laurels for your country, rather, it is a token of appreciation for your efforts and patriotism while competing for your fatherland.[/color]

This is serious

I still pray that God will give our President the wisdom and strength to prove to Nigerians more of newer Nigeria to come.

#ThankYouMrPresident

SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MOHAMMADU BUHARI PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ON THE OCCASION OF THE RECEPTION FOR NIGERIAN ATHLETES AND OFFICIALS WHO DID THE NATION PROUD AT INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS, BANQUET HALL, PRESIDENTIAL VILLA, ABUJA. JANUARY 21, 2016.

COURTESIES

It gladdens my heart to play host to our dear athletes and officials who have consistently done the nation proud at various international competitions.

Nigerian athletes, despite prevailing challenges, have always proven to the rest of the world that the Nigerian spirit is indomitable.

On behalf of all Nigerians, I wish to specially express my appreciation and indeed that of the nation to our athletes and officials for the consistency, determination, willpower and penchant for success being witnessed in the sports sector in recent times. I urge the managers of this sector to keep up the momentum.

I wish to assure you that the Federal Government of Nigeria would not relent in its efforts to ensure that our sportsmen and women continue to excel in international competitions. I am particularly concerned about our participation at the forthcoming Rio 2016 Olympic Games. We must not allow a repetition of the unsavoury experience at the London 2012 Olympics where Nigerian athletes failed to make it to the podium.

This Administration’s policy of “change” must reflect in the way we do things either as individuals or institutions. We must strive to be prudent in the way we manage our time, financial and material resources to ensure victory at the next Olympics. We must aim for optimal performance at all international competitions.

Your Excellencies, Great Nigerian Athletes, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to remark that today’s event is very special to me because, Almighty Allah has, in His infinite mercies and love, kept me alive to this day and granted me the privilege of being able to fulfill my promise in 1985, to reward the winners of the maiden edition of the FIFA U-17 World Championship.

The reason for the 30 years delay is well known. It is however sad to note that a member of the 1985 Golden Eaglets is not here with us today. Please join me in observing a one-minute silence in honour of Kingsley Aikhionbare who died in London, in 1996.

It is a well known fact that so much water has passed under the bridge between 1985 and now. The State governments that were to implement most of the pledges to the players and officials have changed hands so many times under different dispensations and political parties.

In line with our belief that the “labour of our heroes shall not be in vain” we will be saying thank you to our 1985 Golden Eaglets’ players and officials by using the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports template for rewarding outstanding athletes.

As you are all aware, the financial resources of our nation have been dwindling since last year. Hence what we are offering you today, is not payment or compensation for winning laurels for your country, rather, it is a token of appreciation for your efforts and patriotism while competing for your fatherland.

In this connection, I have the honour, on behalf of the Government and sports loving Nigerians to announce the following as token of our appreciation to our sports ambassadors:
