were the athletes not paid for the matches they played and won?

did they play for free through out the competitions?

ENgland won the women's Euros.

did you see ENgland giving them $100,000 and flats in england?

Go and collect it back from them and stop asking me stupid questions.

😂

My opinion on this matter from the get go has been that such unusual rewards, (oversized parcels.... ) should have been channeled through the private sector.

Through sponsors and industry partners and not directly from the government which has a hard time squaring the circle of austerity.

National awards, houses perhaps (I don't know where this tradition came from) and a bit of cash (the value of which represents a universally acceptable and sustainable amount).

The one that shows face at every burial ceremony and serves food to the people - he would on a normal day NOT attend to - is not, okwea??

adamkkk:
Tinubu is just using everything to play politics.

It's a good gesture howbeit wasteful. Our teachers, soldiers, police, most government workers, nurses and doctors are well underpaid. This people need the funds and assistance more than anyone else. Let's do the right things first which is paying more attention to these people I mentioned above.

Exactly my point buh some useless people will still counter ur comment

Everyone just wants to sound smart. Do you remember when super eagles or so travelled and were stranded and we were raining fire and brimstone on the NFF. Now the Presidency has done right and we are still complaining.

The reward is not for them alone, it's to encourage young people to aspire to do the same and secondly what you see at the competition is a culmination of years of hard work and the competition is the crowning moment.

In the US the winner of CONCAF gets $1,000,000 and there are still homeless people.

Even the Bible said the poor will always remain with you.

So let the girls enjoy their victory, it was well earned.

After seeing how much they earned, even me as a guy started checking out basketball pitches in my area.

if I tell u my mind now this bot will take a swipe on me .....let me pretend to be civil here.....see baba no one is against the president unsterilized phila trophism but when it comes at the expense of physical/ national concerns and pressing needs then the gestures become a gaze of worthless self serving ego pleasing and recklessness....

Rewarding the girls is good if done moderately after all a worker is entitled to his wage ..but when gifting comes at the sidetracks of basic priorities and pressing national desires where lump sum are thrown around then it becomes obviously tht the subhuman in the helm of affairs in this country in at par with basic economics concepts such as choice, opportunity cost ,scale of preference.......A nation battling with economic redundancy and spiral and galloping inflation owing to a fall in norminal wage should not be in the party where cash are thrown around for self gratification......Do I blame him?

It's not too much please, they deserve whatever they got.

the winner and not individual

d winner is a team in the so called Concaf

none of the team gets more than $10K. go and ask Google.


Do u realise this is the so called proceeds of fuel subsidy that is plunging Millions of Nigerians to poverty?

If the no give them people go complain. If them give them people go complain. There is no pleasing some people.

This particular lady is in the habit of spewing n0nsense in most of her editorials, there’s nothing she doesn’t criticize

Somebody is scheming to become a president and you don't want the populace to talk about him? Did people not talk about Tinubu before he became president?

Tinubu is a politician just like Obi, so it's ok if he plays politics to solidify his position as the GCFR 😆

SmartyPants:
Who told you that? Many of these girls have to hold second jobs, especially the female footballers playng outside Europe. Like men, their careers are also quite short. These complaints smack of wickedness to me because you know darn well that billions are being siphoned by politicians, but it is a mere 100k usd amounting to no more than $3m for the entire team and technical staff that is giving you people sleepless nights.


Horrible people.

Great, now reflect that argument on the plight of the veterans and civil servants. Coming up with some utterly pathetic half-baked flimsy defence of this gross mismanagement of public funds is just laughable

Actually there is nothing bad in that. Politicians will use something.

Obi is using religion and tribal sentiments to get followers, Tinubu is using money, all na politics. 😂

People should rest on this issue. Let the ladies enjoy their country benefit for a while. It is their time today, it could be anyone's time tomorrow.

If our past heros were well celebrated maybe many of them will not homeless and penniless today.

Whilst we are at it, let’s also celebrate soldiers in the bush, sacrificing their lives for our safety.
I mean, these girls won the cup for the 10th time in 14 outings. There are soldiers who have lost their lives in combating terrorists and insurgence.

Some of these athletes won't be able to compete ever again in the next 5 years, some of them are already above 30, yet some persons are crying that Tinubu decided to give them something they can peacefully retire into? The way una dey play this opposition politics sha. 😂

😂

It's justified, since their performances etched Nigeria's name into the history books. You should understand the principle of "time and chance".

are you saying that your post below which necessitated my questions is stupid?

"Gifting on impulse" by someone that followed all their knockout stage matches?

Why is it that you guys must look for something to complain about no matter how mundane it sounds??

were the athletes not paid for the matches they played and won?

ENgland won the women's Euros.

what is the right things that tinubu did?

were the players not paid for each match they played and won based on their contracts with the NFF and NBBF?

what was given to the ENgland women who won the Euros?

I wonder ooo... Complaining left and right as if the beneficiaries aren't Nigerians. These are common Nigerians being empowered financially, not politicians but some have an issue against it.

If they decide not to give them would that solve all the issues in the country? 😕

So it's the one-off $3m these girls are getting, not the billions being siphoned daily, that is preventing veterans and civil servants from getting their due? You ought to be ashamed of yourself but if you had shame you would never have made such comments to begin with.

Dysfunctional system producing dysfunctional mentality. Some of the comments here shows how poor the mentality of many Nigerians is. Many cannot even read and understand what the author is saying. All they can see is that he is condemning the money lavished on the players, but the write-up is more than that. It is saying if there is proper structure on ground, those in power won't have to lavish sport men and women humongous cash gifts whenever they win trophies and that is very correct.

u av no shame


what a lame excuse. You're attacking a private citizen for what he does with his own money.

you're playing opposition politics. You guys need to start thinking straight

richie240:

a private citizen with his own money nd doings

you're attacking him per say he is using tax payer's money ?

You're attacking him and not minding the man that is destroying the country in aso rock.

You guys are really only good at opposition. Stick to it.

If we can give so much for a continental championship, what will now be considered adequate compensation if it ever happens that the Nigerian team, male or female, wins the World Cup?

Tinubu spent about 4m dollars in thee past 2 weeks on our Super falcons and Tigress but we are borrowing 25m dollars from Kuwait.

If the explain Nigeria to you and you understand it, then they didnt explain it well to you.
