I hope Taribo West name is there. He really needs it.

What about those that has gone to meet their maker

Rashidi Yekini's challenge wasn't money—he had plenty of it. As a matter of fact,he was giving out money and other valuable materials like hell!

Rashidi suffered a great depression which was triggered by a mysterious ailment. Go and read Segun Odegbami's interview— Rashidi Yekini wasn't broke even while he was sick.

May his soul rest in peace.

DeepSight:
This post reveals everything I suspected. You don't know anything about how government works. If you think it's everything that gets to the Presidents desk then you don't know anything at all.

Secondly you have revealed yourself. I can't stand people who, without even knowing another person's political stance, will just start talking about Peter Obi once the govt is criticized. How do you know I am not an Atiku or even Sowore supporter. It's very tiresome and pitiful the way you guys just make everything about PO and it reveals who you are. It shows that you are not about constructive criticism like you claimed rather you belong to the obsessed gang.

Next thing you will call me Igbo or IPOB.
I have no time for your type.

those are the only 2 that are Dead stop exaggerating

LMAO indeed. Only a deranged person sees the truth and still decide to whine.

What is your grievance exactly? FG shouldn't have redeemed the pledge since the past governments failed?

Okay, PBAT didn't approve the allocation
Tell us who did. Since you are the DG NIA who is Omniscient.

In all you have said, you are only going round in circles. At least, I have been direct in my stance and as such you "know my type". What type are you? Confused?

Let us know what you stand for and what exactly is pinching you inside your boxer.

After 31 year's of waiting.
About 5 members of that squad have died.
Including their iconic Legendary captain Stephen Keshi.
Other countries that won the CAF Nation's cup does it also take them 31 year's to redeem their promise to their player's?
Now is obvious why the likes of Obafemi Martins and Sunday Olise refused their son's to play for Nigeria.
Nigeria is not worth dieing for.
Enjoy your house's great footballer's.

TallNigerian:
are you not tired of wailing?
Tinubu is trying to right the wrongs of the past leaders through this gesture. Same thing he is doing with the accrued pension benefit for federal retirees under the CPS whose accrued benefits date back to pre 2004.

It is important to criticise but can you do so like someone with a brain?

Past leaders (both military and civilian) didn't prioritise the need to redeem their pledge but here we have someone who is trying to do the right thing, yet agenda must agend for wailers.

Let's criticise government where they are failing and appreciate them where they are getting it right. Perpetual complaining in all situation (good or bad) is actually a mental illness.

Better late than never, isn't it? All the same, the pledge was fulfilled

Mistersolar:
only keshi and yekini... dont know if up to five you claimed

sehin79:
before you criticise the democratic elected government
this pledge by the military government of general Sani Abacha.
because all this gen z and gen x would come for the democratic government without fact finding''
that's why the worst form of democracy is better than military government
