I doubt Tinubu is the type that won't fulfil such. He is a good manager.

Of course he will fulfil it, there is a reason why Kanu, Okocha and Amokachi supported him at the last elections, President Tinubu is a man of his words.

Also, he must have fulfilled his promise to the Super Eagles as we haven't heard any of them complain since.

I rejoice with the women.

Well Done girls

cr7lomo:
10yrs from now _, dem go carry placard de protest for the unfilled promise of 100k... Next government go talk say no be dem promise dem money

You don't understand Nigerian leaders pa

Freshtruth:
The money is too much haba 100,000usd for One person na wa

That is 152.8 million naira each person

Op is like u go confirm this news well I no think say na for each person oo

. and what about the Nigeria fans that supported and hailed them..àny share of the financial goodies for them

Same FG banning dollar contracts in MDA's is giving USD as honorium.

franugo:
No one is complaining about the girls being rewarded, what they're talking about is the amount being gifted to them, it is too much

For me, that gift isn't just about these set of women alone, it is about those that came before them that were messed about by thieving NFF scoundrels.

Anyway, I think it is just right. Dino Melaye for example has chopulated more than that in his time in politics and what has he and his pot belly done for this country.

Deserve wetin. That money is too much abeg.
At most $20,000 each.

joachimnkenchor:
They deserve it
But denmmmmmm
See money 💰
See money
See money

MemphitzDgreat1:
The gift big pass the reward

$100k × 23 players = $2.3m
CAF prize money =$1m.

Una sure say Tinubu well like this truly truly?

It's fake. Exaggeration✅

NIce gesture .
No other leader has done this in history and this is very commendable.

It is too much! A primary school teacher earns #70,000 ($46) a month in this country. You are giving $100,000 to a player for playing for 3 weeks. What will the soldiers, police men and other military officers that receive lower than $100 per month say? Tinibu made a great mistake. Dollar is not our currency but for him to be doing everything in it is not fair to us.

Your opinion is 💯 valid

Your entire argument is flawed and fueled by selective outrage.

First of all, you claim to be “just giving your opinion” — but you showed up in my mentions unprovoked, ranting like your hot take was the gospel. If you truly believe in opinions being respected, practice what you preach.

Secondly, your “concern” about the country being broke is laughable. Since when did you become the Minister of Finance? Or do you apply this logic to all the government’s reckless spendings or just when it involves rewarding Nigerian excellence?

Let’s talk numbers, since you brought them up:

You say the Falcons were already paid. Sure — they earned it.

They got rewarded again? That’s called motivation and national appreciation.

Other countries do the same — go check how Morocco, Ivory Coast, or even South Africa treat their athletes.


You cherry-picked Ivory Coast getting $7m and being rewarded "within range" — but forgot to mention their economy, GDP, or how much they also celebrate their players. You can’t quote figures without context.

Bottom line:
You’re upset that women were recognized and rewarded for making the nation proud. Just say that and go. Don’t hide behind fake economic analysis to mask your bitterness.

franugo:
You're the one wailing and mouthing off in my mentions. I gave my opinion, give yours and let that be that. If you think it's wise to gift almost 4bn to the team after they were already paid bonuses and salaries for the tournament, That's your cup of tea.
FYI, the wafcon tournament prize was $1m, everything Tinubu has given the girls is well over 3 or 4 times that amount. By comparison, Ivory coast won afcon 2023 and got $7m in prize money, and what was given to them was well within range of what the prize money could again.
The country is broke, we keep borrowing, given our 'brokeness', we should make sure that we spend wisely. Only a foolish person borrows to dash others

kingthreat:
What honor and glory? Who watches female football? Less than 5% of Nigerians actually watched this tournament. You that is talking, can you name 5 female players of the national team? What honor and glory while majority are hungry and cannot afford fuel to their generators to watch the match. The money is too much.

Which one dey pain you? The amount is too much or that you are hungry and cannot afford fuel to watch the match? Well in case you don't know the tournament was keenly followed by Nigerians as for the huge amount they deserve it so my guy be happy for the girls except you are a sadistic.

Ok

Congratulations to the girls but o boy o, so this kind of money dey for this country and Nigerians dey suffering even to pay salary for workers Na trouble.

It's a small money because if care is not taken, that we be their lives time money

It's a nice gesture but the amount is too much I feel[/quote]

That's too much

Are you sure Mr president know the equivalent of that money in naira ,the same tinubu wey say Nigeria is broke

Winnin009:
Reading these comments shows why we are the poverty capital of the world. We are so poor mentally.

People were rewarded for bring back glory to the nation, my poverty striken People say its too much.

One even said 5m is enough.

Na Seun weh no dey let us curse fewlish people again for this platform dey cause all these nonsense.

Poverty is truly a disease of the mind

lexy2014:
Since you don't have poverty mentality, how much dollars do you receive every day?

The money being shared, is it tinubus money or the money of the country?

Slow poke... where have you ever represented the nation since you were born?

I'm sure you've never been called to represent anyone or anything that's why you can say this trash.

It's our money and they brought us glory! Fully deserved!

MemphitzDgreat1:
No one said we shouldn't reward them but the ulterior motive is where we are pointing at. Tinubu IS DESPERATE for any form of achievement to cling to his administration.
The prize money CAF to the Super falcons compared to what Tinubu gave is totally ridiculous.

If you took anytime to Google search, you'll know that several nations reward their sporting heroes sometimes more than what they got at whatever competition.

If he has ulterior motive, we don't know... what we do know is that he rewarded the ladies in a coin well deserved.

Some of my friends while watching the match said they don't want Nigeria to win the tournament cos of the money that will be wasted and stolen just for receiving them. It's well

I simply HATE it when you guys come up with lies in order to justify extremely stupid actions by Tinubu.

.. what about BB naija tv show where the winner will get 150 million naira after exposing their body to the whole world and do that thing in the other room

Bbn is just one winner or one person not 22 people excluding coaches and technical crew,

Never really saw it that way but I think I agree, there is an element of misogyny in all of this complaining.

A shame. Imagine if it was the Super Eagles that dominated Africa like this, I doubt you will hear the complaints.

I am not poor like you wish. I am against wastage and lack of priority. If that makes no sense to you, of course you'll have something negative to say.

Abeg how much did Argentine players recieved from their president after winning the 2022 world cup,the biggest football competition in the world.Thr Nigerian government has to be transparent to us,we just have to know if we are indeed going through an economic reform or na sakamanje reform.

.abi.. and we have federal government workers,pensioners that the federal government is still owing them salaries and pensions.. Nigeria is only for the rich people

BreconHills:
He specifically said naira equivalent of $100k

https://www.nairaland.com/8486572/tinubu-displayed-nairas-worthlessness-100000

I’m a hardcore Tinubu supporter, but he is making serious mistakes I didn’t expect him to make.

Nigeria is neck in debt and instead of having that at the back of his mind, he is showing serious signs of fiscal indiscipline. At a time we are supposed to be prioritizing the Naira, the president is saying ‘dollar equivalent’ on national television. This is not a good example from the commander in chief himself. Someone wrote that speech and advised him to give away $100,000. He should sack that person.
