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?

Lols, there is no public servant in Nigeria whose salary, gratuity, and pensions even allowances after 35 years of service is equal to 1/3 of $100 ,000 paid to the Sport awardees....

May be everyone should enter into Sports as the Government through Politics is forcing everyone into APC....you get the point now

You're quite uncultured.

Thanks for the info.

As much as i am not happy with the way of the president. I must commend him for this bold step towards rewarding our female basketball and football teams. They really deserved it and the president has shown leadership.. kudos to PBAT and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

An average Nigerian want to be a civil servant but only the well connected get the job so don't expect the country to reward you after depriving other Nigerians from equal and open competition for the job. This goes to all the Armed Forces and paramilitaries too.

They're the pillars of any nation.

Congratulations to them

And with the low salary, you expect better security nationwide, emergency lover of sportsmen and women? Why did you not include your own donation to them? Or did you not hear that individuals and organizations have been donating to them?

You are the one wailing not me.
Emergency lover of the same troop . If your sister is among the falcons or d tigrese, she can give you small so you can share to the troop.

Raymondfayowole:
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.

My brother, leave them make dem dey run Nigeria like their family businesses.

Exactly.

One wonders the sense in doling out such huge sums. Retired soldiers are out there protesting. Retired policemen are out there protesting. Our education and health sectors are in horrible situations. Politicians fly out of the country to attend to their health, whereas our hospitals are in horrible shapes. They fail to pay Doctors and nurses the right amounts to stop then from being poached by the same developed countries. The same politicians are attended to by Nigerian Doctors and nurses in foreign hospitals, using equipments that our governments fail to provide. Such huge amounts could have funded researches in medical science. The same politicians after they die abroad, are brought back in cargos to be buried in Nigeria.

No one disputes rewarding those who have worked hard to earn. Our communities are no longer safe. Those in the NW, NE, NC, parts of the SE, SW and SS, who feel the pain of daily loses to terrorists, bandits and kidnappers daily cry out for better security in their communities. Whole villages have been vacated because of insecurity. Government can do better than this.

While they deceitfully tell us that the country is broke and Nigerians are poor, where do they find such sums from to giveaway?

Affirmative sir!

Nigeria matter nah square pegs in round holes!

We don allow vagabonds,agberoism etc occupied the corridor of government for too long 🤔

E deh pain me seh enh,for the past 4 decades our government people dem nor put PREMIUM for education at all,so therefore many Nigerians deh deformed & nor fit differentiate their left to their right.

Religion & tribalism don blindfold many Nigerians soteh we nor understand how to tolerate one anoda.

The biggest enemy of Nigeria are the political elite's.

Nah dem be wolves in sheep clothing 🤔

You can't do without wailing about government activities.
Learn to appreciate good things.

So funny. Is it the job of countries to pay sportspeople or the clubs that they represent? Or are you thinking that countries pay on monthly/weekly basis? Countries only pay when the sportspersons represent at occasions like this.

Have you looked at the salaries of the American, Canadian, British, Australian military men, including other developed countries? Do you know how much is paid to retired soldiers. By the way, if they were not well remunerated, would their countries be as secured as they are today? It is true that countries offer monetary rewards to their victorious sports people, but how many of those countries have their economies in shambles like the Nigerian economy? How many are battling such level of terrorism, that is threatening to destroy the nation? Or are you not aware that huge swaths of lands in Nigeria are occupied by terrorists? How many inches of lands do terrorists claim in developed countries? If your military personnel are not well paid, how do you expect peace? Tell the leaders the honest truth and learn to hold them accountable. That’s what citizens of developed countries successfully did and continue to do.
