The team also had an open top bus parade in Abuja.

This is a wake up call to the Home based Eagles and the Super Eagles to win the ongoing CHAN tournament and the upcoming AFCON in December respectively

Another Tears for dere hater to also come tell us is wasteful...


Smart people that always tell us we are not spending on sport that's why the athlete perform worse....


They're used to News of Athletes been stranded at the Airport or coming online to protest to get paid...

This is inspiring.... patriotism is being rewarded..
Pls extend to every other sector

Thank you Mr. President. This is a big motivation for all our sports men and women. Win and get massively rewarded. Nothing can be more motivating than this. Congratulations to all members of the team and the coaching crew.

To win 100k dollars now Na to just go win trophy for any popular sports.

Kudos to our women.

Wow, that's massive. i wasn't expecting it. Good boost for our athletes. i expect uncommon wailing from opposition.

Lately I realize we are winning trophies because obi isn't allowed to near the pitch during games.

Since obi stopped going to show off at d stadium, we started winning trophies back to back

Wow, this is beautiful,
Reward well deserved;
This reward system will surely motivate out athletes in other sports categories.

We are anticipating more wins in sport sector!

Outside Cho Cho Cho,will they fulfill the house promise

This is encouraging at least Nigeria will have more nationals now than ever, this will trigger more players to participate in the country than ever.

Congratulations 🎉 the male teams should pick this as a challenge and do better too

Well, it is only fair since no sport is bigger than the other. Congratulations to D'tigress.

However, what about the public servants who literally serve the government for most part of their lives?

Much needed... women's sports are now the only thing redeeming and boosting the battered image of the country in the comity of nations. No politicians will miss that opportunity

Na so life be my dear friend. Showmanship pays more than mere hardwork...also the impact of their winning in boosting the image of the country is priceless

Very easy thing to do
Just Like beans and dodo with stew

Wasteful in my opinion. Funds like this should be invested in secondary school sports development, facilities and proper talent identification, not on foreign based athletes.

Let me help Daily Trust with the analysis.

This too "is enough to take care of the monthly wage bill of about 16,000 doctors, 66,000 teachers and over 78,000 lowest ranked officers of the Police Force"

Congratulate them and move on without necessarily getting personal. You can't police people's opinion.

With this motivation, the spirit of Arsenal fc has exited Nigeria
