If a President can give $100,000 to individuals, that means that president is stealing billions of dollars from the national treasury. |

Some persons will spill out trash as usual, just to support this administration. Those that are very quick to attack sensible Nigerians, should please ask themselves this question; " what have I personally benefitted or enjoyed in this nation Nigeria?" No basic amenities for ordinary Nigerians. I wonder why people keep defending a government that has failed to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians. They (govt) would rather share and dish out money for public show off. Imagine, trying to enrich someone or somebody who is already rich, wealthy and connected.....while millions are lavishing in penury and abject poverty. APC is government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich! |

flexyrule:I admire people with sane minds....of #160m can be given easily to one person, then the President should consider dropping fuel pump price to #300 , there is money in this country than the suffering the masses are meant to face daily.... Some families can't boast of three square meals not because the parents are not hardworking but the value of Naira is messed up before the market... Now they spend in dollars , even out President will be laughing and saying that there is indeed hunger in Nigeria if ordinary #100,000 dollars he gave each player is causing havoc on Nigerians ... |

Angelfrost:Nigeria won it for the ten times. Leicester city owner back in 2016, gave each player and staff Lamborghini for winning the premier league. Those cars are far more than the amount paid to the owner by FA for winning the premier league then. It is called appreciation. You bitter people should relax cos most of us knows the reason why you people are not happy. Some of you were boasting that the igbo girls gave nigeria the cup even when Ajibade was named the tournament best player. Why are you people don't want your tribe girls to be 1m dollars rich. |

Putindbutt:Come back when you have something actually intelligent to rebutt with. That brain is there for a reason. Speaking of praying... How far have you prayed against that spirit in your country, cos Nigeria is among the poorest nations or the nations with shockingly poor citizens (over 70%)?!! Splashing money to footballers won't change that fact. |

I agree with you on this one Onanuga. Because some of us don't support Tinubu doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate this govt when they get it right. If it were to be their sister or daughter that was on that team I am sure they would have said different. Ebenezer Obey already said it though...ko s'ogbon to le da, ko s'iwa to le wu, ko s'ona to le gba, to le fi te aye l'orun o! ![]() For those who are still finding it hard to wrap their heads around this, remember even the Bible says that 'to him who has much would be given, and to him who doesn't have even that which he thinks he has would be taken from him and given to those who have' that my friends is capitalism in a nutshell, that is what makes the world go round...demand and supply. T-Bobo! The D'Tigress too are about to win the Basketball Tournament for us as well, please do same for them and pepper pro max all these small-minded folks complaining all over the place. |

kedeojo:You were almost making sense (ALMOST)... But, you had to go full tribal especially on a comment that equally speaks for every single tribe and state in Nigeria. I think I am very correct...! Nigerian leaders and those that support them can't be M£ntally alright. It's just not possible. |

I don't support Tinubu in anything but i appreciate his kind gesture in supporting the Super Falcons. Let's call a spade a spade There's absolutely nothing wrong in what he just did. So kudos to him and kudos to the 9ja ladies |

Angelfrost:You also should think and use your brain. If you are going by this your reasoning so then let me ask you how many of all these people you mentioned hustle for a price money as high as that of the WAFCON (1$m) for their NATION in a space of 4 weeks. U are ill informed and lazy in doing reasoning otherwise you would have known that the soldiers are well budgeted for if not for those criminals holding offices that symphon them. The total take home of these girls after the WAFCON is about $2k each for the whole 4 weeks whereas some of them make around and above $5k per week.. We have heard and witness cases of these ladies being abandoned after the competition for years now. So if 001 decides to reward them this time please don't make it look like that's enough reason to decide to make OBI the president |

Angelfrost:Na stingy people with a hint of embezzling funds dey talk the way you do. Judas said exactly the same thing meanwhile he was busy helping himself to the treasury. ![]() But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it - John 12:4-6 |

[color=#000099][/color] ARISHEM:They love Nigerians! It's good to appreciate our super falcons but we should not rob the bank to do that. $100,000 for each one of them is too much, at least it should be $15,000. We are borrowing these monies! I expected the FG to have contacted Dangote, Adenuga, Adeleke, Elumelu, Arthur Eze and Co to come and cheer the girls and support them too. In this country we have soldiers fighting Boko Haram in desert complaining of hunger and non payment of salaries, retired police men complaining, civil servants/teachers complaining, ASUU/ NASU etc complaining of under payment. How will they feel when they see this? A civil servant goes home at the end of 4 weeks with $46 and at end of 35 years with $1350. A player that played for 3 weeks goes home with $100,000 from the same government! If these teachers return for minimum wage you think they will settle for anything less than 300k? Nigeria is broke but our leaders are not showing us that. We borrow to pay salaries, build roads etc. Those complaining are not ingrates. |

Ponmoalata:What can you really do other than come online and boast? I don’t see any actions taken to address the wasted government funds spent on unnecessary things. This government lacks accountability and squanders money on irrelevant lawmakers. So whatever they do is what we take but for the money he gave to the girls, it was kind of him because is their shear of the national cake and it will encourage more of our girls to go into sport |

the way we place value on money has to do with our mindest. If you are the type when no dey see money esp if your Frm a poor home. you will always fault sm1 when he spends excessively. Giving has to do with our much you place value on the person you wnt to give to or to that occasion. the girls where on national assignment and they delivered esp the way dt final match went. You cnt place a price on National pride. because we are use to suffering and seeing small small money. When somtin big comes in an unusual way we say it is too much. those ones among them dt plays abroad won't say is to much because them dey see the money steadily. It may look too.much for those.ones that are still playing in local league. |

Olu1000:You suggest 50k USD for the Falcon yet others will insist it must be 25k , 10k or even 2k USD. Rewarding the Falcon generously, is a good thing to do to keep motivation high and encourage athletes to be interested in representing Nigeria which would then help Nigeria become a powerhouse of African Sports. PBAT did well. |

[color=#000099][/color] TimeManager:If your daughter took first position in her class will you sell your car to buy her gift? You talk without first listening to yourself. In this economy that Tinibu is borrowing left and right, $100,000 is too much at least $15,000. We have soldiers fighting Boko Haram complaining of hunger and underpayment, how will they feel when they see this? Is FG encouraging or demoralizing them? |

Bluntemperor:Now you mentioned America and Europe... How many European or American politicians or citizens have come down to Nigeria for medicals? How many of their leaders have died in our Nigeria hospitals? See I am not against anybody's progress, I am more of the opinion that instead of few to have things in excess I would rather prefer that majority has that same thing that matters to them the most. My orientation is that of UBUNTU, the government can spend our money anyhow they want to but that won't still stop me from telling the fact. $100,000 is too much for an incentive in our current economic situation, the girls in question won 1million dollars as the prize money for the tournament so where exactly would that leave us? |
