It's in us like Peak...

Our way no just pure.

To pay bonuses na problem but to collect tax na automatic, instantly, no network problem

My only issue here is why are the players being paid in foreign currencies? Is it not ironic that people on patriotic duties representing their own country are being paid in their "enemies' " currency which shows lack of patriotism?

Flets:
If they no revolt, that money would have been looted.

Nigeria no be normal country. Some people who were born I Nigeria and will die in Nigeria might never understand what’s normal living entails.

aribisala0:
I do not understand why the government funds the NFF

U go understand later ....

Nigeria will never learn.Anyways,the results for tomorrow's match.Nigeria 3-0Algeria

Go use ur hand throw d ball inside ..

Usless country! As if they didnt receive the money from fifa and caf in foreign currency

Wetin u don't knw pass wetin u knw

I think this plan to boycott the match follows a familiar pattern. When they see the importance of the game and realize that the likelihood of winning is only a 50–50 chance, they revolt, because they know that once they are out of the game, nobody will send their papa.

helinues:
They probably fixed the money to yield interest. That's the main cause of most of the government payment and salary delay

This particular minister of finance is very slopy maybe due to old age

Those girls promised 100thosand dolls them done see that money collect?

ask tinubu first y he promised those falcon winning girls money in dollars and not in naira

That’s good. Please they shouldn’t allow this to be a recurrence all the time. It kills the morale of the players and disturbs the dressing room psychologically

Thank you

Good motivation for the team

Oga pay them their money and stop ranting. eso owo jaare

brightleave:
So, they should be fighting the government in order to receive their monies. Abi?

Klington:
Apc only came to loot, kill and destroy.

Tinubu the incompetent master is a big failure on all fronts.

Lol super eagles have always been fighting for money since time. NfF is a federation not an association and government is not suppose to meddle in thier affairs. Nff is corrupt more than me and u and u will hardly find the falcons rebel during tournament until after the ornament, y is it only the SE? Tell me which government has d SE has not had issues about money?

jiggyman:
98% of nigerians are corrupt because government refused to put checks to monitor corruption.

If there's death penalty for stealing public funds, I guarantee you that corruption ll be minimal

That's you want or expect a corrupt government led by corrupt men to check corruption? Dey play bros.

So they were waiting for them to protest all the while before they released it.

Spot on ! The profit from super eagles is even enough to finance all the NFF if we have serious people in the glass house but this men are just their for the government funds without nothing to bring to the table. The FG should stop waisting tax payers money on unnecessary stuff the FG should only provide the infrastructure. Just imagined that all the Worldcup qualifiers were played in a world class stadium in Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu or Kano (because these are the only proven cities with massive population who are football lovers and will even pay 5k for match ticket). The NFF is not make any money, just imagine that no official sponsors for the whole super eagles

Hmmmmm! 3-0 against the desert warriors of Algeria?
You're dreaming.

Very well said. That is why I am amused at the ignorant of fools who are in support of a Governor who claimed N30b is sitting in an account.

That is why even some dead coaches like Amodu Shuaibu, Keshi. and others were owed to death.

Laikarahaman:
Why is the government paying, is it not the responsibility of the NFF, at least I know that football bodies said no government interference. Why is the government paying.. abi na only in finance interference no dey affect?

Don't mind them, they want only government financial interference

I wonder for NFF oo because if govt interfer FIFA and NFF will be barking now to pay bonuses govt is needed FIFA and NFFF lost barking strenght, then what is going on?

This country and bad governance are like 5 & 6. So they waited to be disgraced internationally before doing the right thing. If the players had kept quiet, by now they will still withhold the money.

Football is watched by most people on earth, so being in these tournaments and doing well is a very cheap and effective PR for Nigeria. The cost incurred are the bonus and wages they will pay to the players and coaches. The cost could also be providing and maintaining training facilities, etc.

Let’s ask ourselves what the benefits are to us:
1. Nigerian businessmen and women travel to foreign countries to close deals, and an easy icebreaker can be names like Jay-Jay Okocha or Kanu. This immediately sweetens business conversations and helps foster cohesion, trust, and harmony.
2. Sports remain one of the easiest and cheapest ways to unite the country.
3. Winning tournaments such as AFCON and the World Cup showcases our players to the world, making them attractive to top clubs and enabling them to earn higher wages.
4. Some of these earnings are invested back home in Nigeria through real estate and other ventures. This creates jobs for Nigerian builders, architects, artisans, and suppliers. Immediate and extended families benefit, communities are strengthened, and many people are lifted out of poverty.
5. These players also contribute to the economy through various forms of taxation paid to Nigeria.
6. They can serve as powerful brand ambassadors for both local and international companies. For example, a Nigerian bank like UBA expanding into the Turkish market could leverage a star player such as Osimhen.
7. They inspire young people, offering positive role models and alternatives to crime, unrest, or social instability.

A government that understands these benefits would never toy with players’ wages and bonuses. Delays in payments derail focus, reduce morale, and ultimately hinder performance.

why must it always reach to the point of protest before doing the right thing? This is not the first time neither is the third or fourth. Why?

I gave up on naija long time ago.

Must they protest or boycott before payment is made?

What kind of rubbish is this everytime?

Nigeria will lose against Algeria on Saturday.....

Algeria wins
