Asin Nigerians just funny at times ooo

Yet they want the current set of players to die for the country with this sort of mindset

These guys practically took football as war then, with life threatening injuries, constantly keeping fit so the country can be put in the world map and yet ordinary support them after retirement na him be problem

Maxymilliano:
What has his salary at club level had to do with the NFF not doing enough for ex players who fought to put the country name on global list ?

And can we see what Rufai salary was as at then

Thank you for the good question.

Nigerians and its government are ingrate.

John Fashanu only played for England national team twice, and today, he is on 2,000 pounds monthly stipends. He confirmed this in his last interview.

Let us do what is right and Nigeria will be better for it.

Kukutente23:
PM news was known for fake news
Where did they get the figure from?
Jaap Stam became the most expensive player in football history in 1998 when he transferred from PSV to Man Utd and the total fee was £10.6m.
I just checked. Taribo's movement to Inter from Auxerre was €3m in 1997 so how is he able to be earning over half of his transfer fee every year? That's a big fat lie

Jman06:
Very senseless comment! Because your tribesman is the president you're now telling people to leave government alone A failed government that has impoverished millions of Nigeria!

I'm very sure that that figure of there is exaggerated and not a reflection of the reality.

What Taribo West is simply saying is that government should not allow those who have performed heroic tasks for the nation to die as nobodies! Doing that would deter others from being patriotic to the country!

Even if it means setting aside some funds from their salaries to be paid as pensions when they retire from active football. It is worthwhile

bionixs:
I pity those who waste their time serving this country.

I can see how wicked and stupid some of those posting comments on this thread are. They will never see any good. When it gets to your turn to be rewarded for their efforts, may they be disappointed.

Amen! 🙏

Putindbutt:
Nollywood actors and local musicians will soon be asking Government to retirement benefits too. They may even ask Govt to take over the responsibility of their kids after retirement. We're Taribo and his colleagues owed their bonuses whenever they come home to play during their active years?. If only you knew how powerful these players were during their playing days. That's why I really love what the President is doing, make sure their bonuses and rewards are given to them now, let them do whatever they want with it, so that when they retire, they won't have any entitlement mentality.

Have they paid the winners of the African women footballers 2025 yet..

Name one country that continues to pay her ex players after they retire.

Franking:
Putting it in proper perspective.... footballers or athletes in general are not the only ones who "served" the country. They were properly remunerated when they played for the country. Many were rewarded handsomely when they won trophies like the Falcons recently.

Policemen and soldiers are doing a lot more but are left to wallow in poverty and misery.

Taribo and his likes should go away with their entitlement mentality.

Commentor:
Fashanu is known for telling lies:

No Lifelong Salary:
There is no legal right for former players to receive a lifelong salary or ongoing payments from the government or the FA after they stop playing.
