Mumu, receive sense, okponu, these guys are there because of patriotism walahi, do you think if Mikel has been playing all these chelsea friendlies, he won't be given bonus per match more than $150, NFF should do the needful besides they receive alert every month.
DUMMY chelsea is a football business and all their games are monetized by adverts so everybody who participates in their games gets paid. nigeria is not a football business and the country gets no money from adverts when nigeria plays. two different scenarios. next time use your brain to come up with a similar parallel, if your brain is still working that is lolzzzz

STFU,abeg!!! European clubs,you say? You don't even know much sef and you are arguing blindly. An Olympic team is only allowed to have 3 senior and established players while the rest MUST be home based. That means 95% of those players ply their trade in our local league,playing for the likes of Enugu Rangers and Aba Warriors.
Tell me,do those kind of players seem WEALTHY to you?? Abi you can work for free for someone when you are wallowing in Poverty because "it's a PRIVILEGE",right?


Ha! This guy just they vex me for here...KEYPAD WARRIOR! undecided

ave been reading reading ur post offline,u were making some sense in ur statements untill u made it worse by saying this,we pay our politicians millions every month even their allowances alone is in crazy millions, my brother dont be too biased in ur reasoning.we are all praying for this government to succeed but its obvious u are for apc.
brother you are the one in error, WE DO NOT PAY OUR POLITICIANS MILLIONS IN WAGES AND ALLOWANCE, OUR POLITICIANS TAKE THE MILLIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN POWER. ITS CALLED STRONG-ARM DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. so dont confuse the two. we dont pay them, they take it because they are in power.

Azzin i'm just seething with rage here, one thing I dislike is anything related to strike and ultimatums.

We are a nation of over 160m... 2.5 of every 3 nigerian can play football, you don't get to the olympics and embarrass all of us.

This SAME SET OF DISLOYAL MEN WILL STILL COME TOMORROW TO BEG US TO PICK THEM FOR WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS.

I love how cameroon disciplined even a whole eto'o. For leading players to embarrass their country over wages. 2years ban!

I advocate a 3-year blanket ban for every member of the group causing these problems let's see if they won't roll on the floor begging.
brother, you have said it all. these people need the nigerian national team more than the national team needs them. the sooner they realize that its a privilege and not a right for them to play for a country of 180 million people in front of 8 billion people in the world, the better for them. its the typical naija mentality of money grabbing that is worrying them and most of the commenters in this thread. they cant see pass money. money is god to them. no such thing as honor or glory in their dictionary lol

I pray so him bro... Its like working as teacher in a government school...and you are not being paid for 6 months...and u are spitting rubbish of patriotism and dont want to go on strike because you want to satisfy your students... I pray AlphaCentauri gets treated that way.... I hope to see your reaction then
brother, you have left your brain at home. first of all the olympics is just a 2 week event and cannot be compared to a teacher who works everyday of their life as a teacher. and secondly sports is not work. its leisure. receive sense

Your reasoning is pathetic and people like you that grease the ego of greedy politicians. So politicians are patriotic when they renege on their promises thereby failing to pay players' allowances? Let's praise the greedy politicians/administrators that fail to pay players' allowances because they're almighty and crucify players who downtool for not being paid.
USE your brain, i repeat, politicians will be politicians, but if you are at the olympics in front of the world and representing 179 million poor people who need this moment of joy in their life to see you succeed, you have to look past salary and go and get the job done. sometimes you just have to do what you have to do despite obstacles. threatening to boycott just shows you are there for the money. no patriotism at all. just money grabbers.

Didn't they know that already?

Were they begged to represent us? They went to a training camp to prove and get picked for the Olympic team.

I ain't against their protests...they must be paid their entitlements BUT do not embarrass the nation, siasia THAT ONLINE NEWSPAPERS CLAIMED WANTS TO QUIT THE TEAM should tell me WHICH CLUB/COUNTRY WILL HIRE HIM.

Seriously i'll like to know? How come it's NIGERIA LEAGUE he keeps seeing work? Let's not fool ourselves NFF national team job is as good as it gets for most of these guys.

They have the right to show their anger...but refusing to train? Threatening to abandon match?? That's basically lack of professionalism & commitment (like they DO NOT FEEL THEY CAN BEAT DENMARK?)
IN THAT BOLDED STATEMENT YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. DID SOMEONE PUT A GUN TO THEIR HEAD TO REPRESENT US ?

Aren't our ministers, among whom many are former Govs, Senators, and even our presidents being paid handsomely for working for their country.

For your info, football is their work and source of livelihood, they deserve to be paid no matter how rich or comfortable they are.
football is not work. it is greco-roman leisure. get it right. who football epp ?

Oh... You are just a sycophant or a cretin... Do you even know how to read and understand? Those guys said they will boycott a match owing to the failure of the govt paying their allowances... They had an agreement earlier...team Nigeria has fulfilled theirs...now the govt is playing politics... An agreement has been breached...those guys are not gullible.... People like you are the ones that keep encouraging the govt in their evil deeds
and i repeat, if you threaten to boycott a match that 179 million poor nigerians watch to lift their spirits because they did not pay you some measly dollars ? than you are not patriotic. you are there not for the country but for yourself. politicians will be politicians but you are there for the people not the politicians. cant you see that ? or are you just blind ?

Bros Nigeria is a very poor country, but, AlphaCentauri is making no sense at all. We can't pay politicians and fail to pay our sports men and women who are prone to all kinds of life threatening injuries. Nigeria has a perfect record of mistreating her heroes. So, if threatening to boycott will make her do the right thing so be it.
ok glad you accepted that nigeria is a very poor country. now with regards to paying politicians, we do not pay politicians. politicians steal the money. its a big difference. if politicians were paid what they were really due, there will not be a single nigerian in politics. so dont get it confused. we dont pay them, they steal what they get.

Oh... U said it all... Nigerian born in USA... Bro...our players knows well all the corrupt practices unfolding in the country... I cant be patriotic to a country who doesnt care about me nor fulfill her promises regarding social contract which entails security, welfarism, education, infrastructural development, good governance, job opportunities and the likes... Its impossible... That lady is actually being patriotic being a Nigerian in diaspora knowing fully well that all the stress down here aint her concern and not affected by it...hence she needs a name for herself and fame....
if the country does not care about you then why do you want to go and represent it for the olympics ? if there is someone i know who does not care about me i will stay far away from them and not try to represent them. receive sense

where do u expect them to get money? To steal and be burnt? The thing here is Our president is not interested in sports, he sees sports as a waste of time, after the under-17 won the world cup, he only gave them N20,000 each, isn't that enough proof that buhari hates sport
AND BEFORE THE EUROPEANS INTRODUCED ALL THIS ORGANIZED SPORTS WERE YOUR GREAT GRANDFATHERS NOT SURVIVING ? of course sports is a waste of time and money. only rich countries who have more money than sense indulge in that nonsense. it is a greco-roman tradition. so buhari is the sane one here while you are the insane one. you just like to dey copy copy oyinbo tradition

Nigeria is a very rich country, senators are being paid millions of Naira everymonth, where did they get the money? Nigeria is not poor, just that african mentality doesn't allow politicans to do their work well, they rather gather money for their unborn generations than pay our players
[b]Truth be told, nigeria is a poor country. for a country of 180 million people its poor. if the oil wealth was shared equally amongst everyone we will all starve to death because 180 million is a lot of people. what you have is the illusion of wealth when you see a few people sharing it and having lots so you tend to think its a rich country, but let me digress


there is this girl in USA, a nigerian rower, she is a very smart girl. she knows what she is doing. she did not involve nigeria in financing her olympics dream. she sourced the money all by herself not because she is a very patriotic woman. she is very smart. she knows going to the olympics will be the biggest advertisement she would need in her life and she will propel into wealth and fame from there. so she got her own sponsors privately. you see what i am saying ? thats a smart person who knows the benefit and privilege of being allowed to represent her country so much so that she chose to sponsor herself to do it. this is because she knows the benefits to herself after the olympics. IT IS A PRIVILEGE AND A HONOR TO BE ALLOWED TO REPRESENT YOUR COUNTRY AND YOU SHOULD DO THAT SHYTT FOR FREE IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO.[/b]

yes if nigeria lets me play for them I will pay nigeria. thats good and free advertisement for my brand. these players are not their because they love nigeria. when mikel obi was sitting on the bench in chelsea with no recognition whatsoever and he was about to be left out of the nigerian team for the african cups of nation, he begged the coach to let him play >>> these were exactly his statements >>> IF I DONT PLAY IN THIS AFCON I WILL BECOME IRRELEVANT IN WORLD FOOTBALL BECAUSE I AM ALREADY ON THE BENCH IN CHELSEA SO I NEED TO BE SEEN ON THE WORLD STAGE THAT I CAN STILL PLAY. you get me now ? he wasnt playing for naija because he loved naija, he was playing for himself so he can increase his marketability in europe. SO FORK YOU AND EVERYONE WHO HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT MY OPINION. YES I INSIST EVERYONE WHO REPRESENTS NIGERIA SHOULD PAY NIGERIA BECAUSE THIS IS FREE ADVERTISEMENT FOR YOUR BRAND AND WE ALL KNOW YOU NOT PLAYING FOR NAIJA OUT OF PATRIOTISM
