I commend Tinubu for rewarding the girls.

That was how it used to be until tight fisted Buhari came and changed things.

TimeManager:
The Falcons would be shocked seeing some Nigerians being unreasonable and childishly bitter, those who are yet to get over the election loss. The Falcons, national team players in other sports and lovers of sports will henceforth start to disassociate themselves with these set of people. Following Me President's gesture, I have seen young girls who are encouraged to look around their neighborhood for a football field or academy to kick off their career, some of whom had thought they only had to be on TikTok twerking and showing some skin. Now they believe they can be rewarded by their country if they put in the hard work. I have also heard parents saying their daughters have to play football.
God bless President Tinubu, God bless Nigeria.



-Kiss the truth!

chidiokay:
On the contrary the falcon understand Nigeria beef his not with them But the uselezz Dead brain president who never get his priority right

A president that told Nigerians to embrace Suffering cos No money ... splashes $100,000 on players that were already rewarded by AFCON

A president that fails to pay retirees 2yrs pension claiming no Money wake up to splash $100k on young gurlz that have good source of income

The grand prize of Afcon is just $1million and Tinubu just lavish ova $2million as gift ... gift pass grand prize does it make sense.

why should Nigerians not be angry, in a country our sænselezz president shared Rice to flood victims

Winnin009:
Don't be silly. All these ills doesn't stop the government from recognizing and rewarding excellence.

Will leaving them empty handed solve the issues you mentioned above?

Don't be a keyboard warrior.

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.

Angelfrost:
The silly one is the one who can't rise above insults to read and rebutt like a normal thinking person.

I responded particularly to the comment of Onanuga calling out Nigerian citizens.

He has no business and no moral standing to do that... Average Nigerians have the full right to complain and criticize acts of the government that don't go down well with them.

I went on to explain the root cause of such widespread national displeasure.

Now, don't be silly... Learn to read and respond with your senses intact.

Thank you.

NastiLord:
The money is too small sef. I'm not a fan of Tinubu but I really commend him for this kindness. Some of those girls are from poor home who the family members are looking up to them for survival. I doff my heart fot BAT and the governors forum but my vote remains for His Excellency Peter Obi

phorget:
Una don start again with this igbo and Yoruba narratives, if you all can't stay together as one people then why don't we all just break up in peace.

ARISHEM:
Absolute good for nothing ingrates were the ones critical about the presidential rewards to the falcons.

The presidency should extend same gesture to other sports men and women especially our basketball team

ARISHEM:
The way you celebrate a 10 year old child is different from the way you celebrate him or her when he was 9years , 7 years or 2 years old.

Lazy9jaYouth:
Even your cherished EPL, La Liga 7 the almighty UCL, the tournament prize is always lower than the reward.
Don't let hatred make you say things that aren't true

Angelfrost:
Onanuga, think about it...! You do have a brain.

In a nation where hard working and dedicated civil servants, teachers, and other members of the labor force earn minimum wage peanuts, what or how exactly do you expect them to feel about their President doling out millions of Naira to footballers?!!


A nation where basics like Electricity, Potable water, and Security, not even mentioning good roads, are daydreams, do you expect citizens to jump for joy at such outlandish displays of monetary gifts?!!


How much did you give to individuals and families that suffered losses to flood and terrorist attacks?!!


Just recently, soldiers complained online about the meagre earnings and meals they receive... we all know their allowances are nothing to write home about.




By dashing Falcons money that is way higher than their Cup prize money, what exactly are you trying to prove?!! What message do you think suffering Nigerians will glean from that ostentatious gesture?!!




Make una dey think before rushing to defend and make posts.


That was how Buhari was dashing Billions as donations to Niger and other nations in conflict, while IDP camps suffered hunger and malnutrition.


Omo!!! Nigerian leaders and their supporters might have serious M£ntal Health Issues.

kedeojo:
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.

missionmex:
If it was the first time in our history we would have understood the gesture but the 10th cup fa!!

patrickcollins:
which reward, there is no rewards for winning those trophies it's strictly business and they are paid their wages

gerizzim:
you say , the president lavished the money.
if it was you that was beneficiary of such money, would you say , "Mr President, pls this money is too much for me. I dnt want it"

patrickcollins:
That's not Chelsea or any of the club rewarding their players for winning trophies, that's the price money for the competition to the clubs
