You talked as if this is yearly or regular compensation they get from FGN. This is rare opportunity and it may be one time opportunity for many.

You can only call it an aberation if they are in the monthly payroll of FGN.

Whether yearly or not ... the sum of $2.3million stands as unwarranted or unplanned expenditure in our already deficit Budget .. that its once doesnt negate the "minus"

Super falcons are just 23 player plus coaching crew dem no reach 50 sef ... how do they qualify as many

My friend even said another dumb thing that make me doubt is IQ .. the funds given to falcons will also go back to the society, via spending, give aways.

How 23 players philanthropic switch wan take make impact the society even if dem do give away how many lives can they much ... highest 1m to beneficiary weytin 1m solve for the economic mess tinubu created Compare that to playing teachers and pensioneers there arrears which for make economic impact and touch more lives across areas

Like i said " Reward" is not the problem But a country claiminng no money n planning budget on loans ... $100k naa abberation

DeepSight:
Thank you very much. Well said. Truth is, you will find the guy is probaly 20 years old.

Am just tired of them all, when you are trying to discuss relevance , they throw irrelevance to you because how far a man thinks , is his limitations...

Omonigeriarere:
If you have a personal Vedanta with Tinubu, I don't have problem with that.

A price of a plot of land in a prestigious area like Maitama in Abuja is around N600m nowadays. It is around N152m in Asokoro area too(google is there for you to confirm).

So, who actually benefits more between them and their male counterparts who won in 1994 and were given a well furnished three bedroom flat in this areas at at 1994? so, what do you mean by lavishness?

You are even justifying the action of President by your premises because nobody is given them salaries. Even is Europe, Athletes are paid higher than other professionals.

Is alright....

CodeTemplarr:
A civils servant earning N167k X 12 months X 40 years
Is still only about N80m richer for it but how many civil servants even get that?

Imagine using that for prize money in tech innovation competition. Dead brained govt. Is it sport alone the country "go chop"?
This move will turn more people against Tinubu than for him.

how much be the prize money sef?$1m. Who go do that kind business. Make 1m, spend 5m. No be juju be that

PulaPower:
Unfortunately, it’s like that everywhere..

Have you seen any teacher wey dey receive 300,000pounds weekly for UK & Europe? But football players does..

And it’s not just even teachers... Someone raised a similar question on quora..

Is it the government that pay the foothball players? You people will just be making comparison without thinking

DeepSight:
Its not as though the girls should not be celebrated. They should of course. Its just that when you put that into context with Professors earning N500K Monthly in this country, it certainly is something to wonder about.

Considering the government just borrowed money

stevebond007:
Those girls did us proud, they deserve all the rewards and bonuses. They worked hard for it.

Our doctors and teachers deserve better as well.

Two truths can coexist.

And your military and police don't make you proud?

Have they cleared the backlog of house promises by past governments to the players in the past (since government is a continum) or will this also add to the already long list of unfulfilled promises of lands in Abuja for sports heros

Lanretoye:
See useless and brainless justapositions,the money paid to the super falcons is a one time pay off but the doctors will earn over a span.the money footballers earn all over the world does not commiserate with what their professionals are earning in any part of the workd

The money the doctors earn over a span can never be up to what they where given. And mind you they a paid allowances anytime dy are invited to play for the country. They are not employed to play everyday for the country they are only called upon when needed and compensated for. In my opinion the money given to them shouldn't be more than the prize money. Go amd check the prize reward England gave their female footballers that won euro you do understand

Celestialsword:
Nigerians are fond of looking at a gift horse in the mouth.

The girls did well

Nigeria can afford the largese given to them,it doesn't affect the coffers

It doesn't affect the coffers but you are borrowing ? Continue the sweet will go round

The only way doctors, and many other expect to earn realistic salaries is when the country begins to earn more revenue from non-oil sources. It is the overdependence on oil revenues that makes their salaries pitiful.

Oil revenues as a percentage of the economy woould continue to shrink as both the population and GDP continuing to expand.

Omonigeriarere:
Super falcons are not paid monthly or even yearly, its not a salary. its more of performance bonus or contract. Even for those on salaries in europe, I mean the players playing for the likes of Chealsea, Barcelona, Madrit etc - are their salaries equals to the workers in health, education, and other sectors?

Another point is that, you have a limited professional life span as a footballer. Your peak is between the ages of 22-32; only the grace of God can sustain you thereafter.

Please take the above into consideration.

Well understood but also understand that it's not the government that pay the footballers. It's a private stuff

stevebond007:
You need a lesson in logic, it's helps the IQ.
But I won't banter abuse with you as well.
No wahala.

Enjoy.

You are the one who has the boldness to reveal to the world the fact that the UK has both stadia and schools are you not? A thing which was previously unknown to anyone else.

You are the one who said therefore, equal attention should be paid to sports and education, are you not?

Your inference was that taking a cue from the monumental discovery that the UK has both stadia and schools, Nigeria should spend as much on rewarding athletes as it does on paying for it's educational staff, no?

I proceeded to show you the value of the football industry in the UK, was that relevant or not? I even showed you the annual budget for both countries and the drastic difference, no?

So who needs a lesson in logic?

Go on.
If you don't know that a billionaire can spend millions on one dinner whilst it would be sensible for a pauper to focus on growing and limit his expenses, then clearly, a distance awaits you.

DeOTR:
Footballers get paid £250k pounds weekly for kicking a round leather ball around the pitch in the UK. In this same UK, experienced professionals earning £250k annually are like gods. That's the global reality. Career in sport is a short term one, and so attracts high remuneration. Let the girls receive the recognition in peace, they're not entitled to pensions after retirement.

Can you tell me who is responsible for paying both? Is it the government? Or private investors

Tell the doctors and teachers to leave their classrooms and hospitals to go and be playing balls if that has been your headache. Doctors and teachers are paid monthly and have life pensions, but one give away to those that make our country proud is not too much. Such one time gesture and reward can happen anywhere in the world. If Mr presidents just gave handshake now, op/writer will still be lamenting. I am sure it will pay more than that if you count other donations they received across the states, corporate and individual gifts. It is the time of their own luck; during election in 2027; you will see super façons if they have match turning Obi,..,Obi.. to Tinu,..., Tinu....

This same money, if Tinubu no give them, Dem go still chop am. If giving them will boast their morales to continue giving us joy, why not.
Op, talk true, if one of them na ur sis, you go gree write this nonsense?

DeepSight:
then clearly.

You obviously can't see clearly. A team won and got the bonuses and entitlement that is due to them, and you are here ranting.
You don't know the value of place and time.

Misplaced priorities...

I'm one of those that believe the largese was wasteful.

We should set our priorities right.

Our educational system is in shambles... how many people get rewarded for doing exceptionally well in that sector or in technological or even technical innovations.

It's not hate. The super falcons have done well and it right to appreciate their efforts. But we should also set our priorities in the right order to get a rounded balance.

The IGP just came out to say the pension of Nigerian Police officers that give a better part of their life to the service of the country is miserable.

This is a spending spree. It's reckless!

Sports gives a country more international recognition than any technical innovation. It is what it is!

useless talk. Those other profession and workers you and the busybody talk about all have a minimum of 35 years career in service and are pensionable. Who remembers an athlete when injury hit him/her? Who invite a player that is out of form for a competition? Career of an athlete is short and not pensionable, whatever you are able to gather while you are relevant is what you live thereafter with. This life, you give, wahala, you no give, wahala.

Isn’t it probably more difficult to make the senior team to a tournament (25 players) than to become a physician (over 2000 doctors annually)

I see it as a misplaced priority .

Tinubu don't know what he's doing.

A glaring evidence of misplaced priority resulting from poor sense of judgement.

DeepSight:
Thank you.

May you live long.

Amen, thank you.

You too.

100k dollars is equivalent of N160m at most nowadays.

A price of a plot of land in a prestigious area like Maitama in Abuja is around N600m and it is around N152m in Asokoro area too nowadays (google is there for you to confirm). By implication, they can only buy a plot of land with this money in Abuja.

So, who actually benefits more between them and their male counterparts who won in 1994 and were given a well furnished three bedroom flat in this areas as at 1994? so, what do you mean by wastefulness?

U wanna now compare mens football to womens football?? No one really cares about female football...if i ask u now , the club Alozie plays for or okoronkwo...u will start to search Google .. besides winning female Afcon is no big deal... there's no competition in women's football in Africa

Because it is female football, it is no big deal..... Just listen to yourself. There is no competition and they were two goals down before turning things around.

If you are among these footballers who have given their all, will you be happy to hear this?

Leonardo4:

Exactly the reason why they needed to be compensated handsomely for their past and possibly future suffering. Government get involved because they represented the country and made the country proud.

There is provision for unforeseen circumstances in every budget bro. The money given to them will not make any difference whether they collect it or not.

Let them enjoy this opportunity, as they were not the ones that brought us here. Politicians, ambassadors, advisers, legislators have been enjoying it without any tangible result nor achievement.

At least, they represented us well and made us proud by coming from two goals down to win. It the government refuse to compensate them, we will still blame the government.

atobs4real:
Is it not better for them to be gifted than the government embezzle the money

Will that outrageous gifts stop the politicians from looting?

$2.3 million would pay Arrears of some people govt is owing @least .... that is tangible, that's meaningful

Have you not seen the others Donations those girls have gathered so far, without FG $100k sef dem for still do dorime inside Quilox anytime
The grand prize is $1m .... 30% would have gone to the gurlz that one no reach to enjoy abi naa until we carry Nigeria budget give dem.

So Footballers are the ones deserving reward, other work for the country useless ... soldiers working night n day to ensure we are safe , even die for the country what do they get ... what reward do they get

make all of us leave our work go play dey play football

After it pays those aforementioned, what happens next? They will stop receiving salary?
