Good one my gomina

This is unnecessary. Why wasting so much on a player that didn't even feature for 1 second at the World cup. Why are all our politician s like playing to the gallery? Our politicians need to be more proactive in things that demand more attention other than charades like this one.

Well, Sokoto state hardly contribute to the make up of the Super Eagles. Hence the need to shower the footballer with gift.

Delta and Edo States shouldn't try this gesture o. almost all their lands will be donated to footballers. Too much players they contributed to the Super Eagles.

That's how governor got original super eagles jersey

Tambuwa is a barawo (thief)

the governor tried.

Oma ku inowo

He has to waste some resources.
The state's IGR is the least in the country, and collects one of the highest allocation from the Federal Government.

The Governor appealed to the youths to develop their skills and excell like Abdullahi shehu reminding them that sports is for business and health development. 



CONGRATULATIONS .
A.good way to encourage the youths in that part of the country.

Abeg who get iheanacho and ighalo number I wan donate to them 2 granite stone from my kataport ..

...sport politics or political sport?

plateau state shd also honour Ahmed musa

Is only Ahmed Musa who deserves this type of honour.

y

this is celebrating mediocrity,what milestone did the super eagles achieve as a team for a player to be singled out for reward as being done here,if it were an ahmed musa it would have been understandable. Just playing cheap politics here.

Quality20:
plateau state shd also honour Ahmed musa

Kanp

More reasons we didn't qualify.......

Imagine.
Giving to the already rich.
Why not consider the poor in Aliu Akilu street

A clownish governor whose state generates the one of the least IGR but receives one of the highest handouts from the federation account.
They spend money they do not contribute to.

ChiefAzubuike:
To those of you still bitter about that Argentina match, had we qualified , France would have humiliated us either. If we no cry on 26 of June we for still cry on 30th june. What shall it profit a man to postpone his sorrows?

However , England for the trophy.

Abi oo, you funny die

Quota system eagles was far better than 'these' ibo made eagles of over the years

abeg who be shehu Abdullah? I'm just hearing his name for the first time. but this is totally uncalled for. wasting taxpayers money on this?! when there are many rooming around the streets. Haba! Mr governor. #sad

SHEHU Played pure Trash which made me wonder how he made it to the SUPER EAGLE'S SQUAD. I had a theory (he was FORCED on the coach) this just confirmed my Hunch >Shehu had a "strong man" behind him

Even after their failure
