lexy2014:
after winning titles, how has the image of the nigeria been improved while many are still being owed their entitlements?

if sport teams need motivation, do the citizens and those who serve the country in other capacities not need motivation?

were the members of these sport teams not paid their match bonuses per match?

the brazil, spain and england that you mentioned have won several international titles.

have you seen their governments doling millions of dollars to their national teams because they won titles?

Don't mind them it's all part of political strategies

If an athlete can earn 160m in Just a month tournament representing the country

An army officer should earn more in a lifetime fighting for Nigeria.

Tinubu must get sense by force
get your priorities straight
stop pondering to international community

This aberration is not common to military only, but to all other retired civil servants and didn't start yesterday or 2 years ago and both fg, SGs and LGs are all guilty of this. Someone can't work for 35 years or retire at 60 years of age and denied him or her entitlement,it is too bad.

If na their generals now..2 sec him go approve funds but as na regular men dem shishi dem no go see

Make una give them their own $100,000.
IDPs are cashing out, rehabilitated terrorists are cashing out.

Please they should be chased out of there. Tinubu has paid them all

SmartPolician:
You are uninformed. The chicken change given to those ladies isn't the reason those people are owed.

Tell your politicians to stop stealing Nigeria's money. The day we have an accountable president, you will realise how rich this country is.

Please move.

Do you know that singular move demotivated hard working Nigerians that grind their asses out to keep the country going. If his reasons are genuine why didn't state the gift in naira equivalent. Doling ouf over 150m for each player is extravagant and wasteful all for his stupid second term.

Did the largesse follow due process?!!

No let me vex for you.

Thanks for quoting, but sincerely I don't think I understand what you are trying to say...

I don't really think there is any way I can make u understand better than this. By d way sorry for my typos

free2ryhme:
The truth is quite simple, many people have grown comfortable with the suffering because they survive through corruption and illegal means. Otherwise, how do you explain protesting salaries every year from a government that consistently fails to meet its responsibilities, while soldiers quietly accept it? In other countries, the government would be under serious pressure by now.

This particular government is reckless and highly insensitive, they don't care about the welfare and survival of the citizens
What these soldiers are protesting about is what is happening in almost 90% of FG establishments
The finance minister is very sloppy and grossly incompetent, he seems overwhelmed instead of Tinubu to find a suitable replacement he is doing paddy paddy government

20th of October 2020...................
.....


......

I don't have pity for them sha

When the people protested against bad governance, we supported that their welfare should be looked into but what did they do

They point their guns at people protesting that their own lives should be better also

Now they think they have something to say

Oga go manage wetin dem give una abeg

No dey disturb our hearing

Disenfranchised:
When the silly president was doling out over 2million dollars of taxpayers money to a local champions that has won that same tournament for a record 12 out of 15.

Hospitals is shitholes
Hunger everywhere
Insecurity people dying like flies
Institutionalised poverty and corruption
Etc....


his end no go better walai.

..abi.. Tinubu giving a lot of money to the female football team and basketball female team will make many workers and pensioners to also protest their owed salaries arrears and pensions and gratuity arrears to be aid to them since he can pay sports people huge amount of money

We need to know how many innocent lives una killll before they give una shishi. Youth came out to protest bad government, una carry live bullets they shoot. Una go protest tire

Serves them right ....they were not real soldiers ...just men in soldier uniforms. When soldiers have grievances with the government they do come together and plan ...but not plan protests.

Dandsome:
The funny thing is that the ones currently in service won't take heed now.

Very soon they will send the current active ones to go and disperse them.

Then when the current active ones retire or resign they will now go to protest. The future active one will then be sent to disperse them.

The cycle continues.

These guys don't learn.


If you check well you might find some of them that supported the intimidation of end Sars protesters.

The shege will definitely go round if we don't wake up

No be small dejavu all over again and again

raddyworld:
They will be settled their money no plenty.
See for the sport reward. We need am at times to motivate our sport team. Winning African cup or world cup brings prestige and value to the image of the country.
As we dey use corruption spoil am make we dey use good name from sport cover up.
The money may not be that much at least motivation. As Brazil, Spain, England is known for quality sport Nigerians can lead. Not just a name as giant of Africa.

This kind reasoning is not it abeg.

Think deeper than this next time, kaiiii

Thiefinubu has only promised those athletes money, the same way he promised these ex-soldiers. Thiefinubu money promises eventually turns out to be audio

PlasmaTV:
They shot at protesters in endSARS.
They should sit down.

Tinubu would rather spend all our resources to pay footballers and basketballers. He no rate soldiers and policemen and medical personnel and teachers. The backbones of the society.

Let's all clap for Bulaba

Forget!
Those female footballers and basketballers will not smell anything like $100,000 if them even get $1k, they would be lucky.
Remember Obj made promises to sports men thst were never fulfilled. Tinubu would likely do worse than Obj in fulfilling fake promises of money.

If ebilokan is failing to get basic things right then why are we clapping for him over the dollars given to sportswomen?

How can someone who schooled, worked and lived in Chicago, America not get his priorities right?

Is he just stealing the $84 billion subsidy savings that has increased petrol price to N1,000 instead of crashing it as promised?

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate

April 23, 2023

The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*

“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.

“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.

Just imagine!

Those who sacrificed their sweat and blood are being treated like this and one oloriburuku somewhere would be advicing me to join the Nigerian military......I won't even advice my enemy to make that mistake.

I think it's high time Nigeria build a new Aso Rock or let President operate from their home, because it seems our National building Aso Rock is cursed if not how can every elected president become worse than the previous.

Would we be correct if we name Tinubu "audio-man"?

Soldiers, police, immigration, civil defense, Boys scout, girls guard, civil servants, doctors, nurses, teachers, INEC, and the masses are protesting against Tinubu, I don't know how he plans to rig(win) the election.

.abi..the money might not even be sent to their account.....those government officials in charge of sending the money to their account will even divert the money for their personal use

The government is failing in all aspects but taking care of themselves and their cronies.
