Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has promised Super Eagles players $10,000 for every unreplied goal they score against Algeria, in today’s 2018 World Cup qualifier.

He made this promise, when he visited the team at their Le Meridien Hotel camp Friday night, accompanied by his predecessor, Godswill Akpabio.

“The Governor has made us a promise of $10,000 for every unreplied goal against Algeria,” a top official disclosed to AfricanFootball.

Governor Emmanuel had donated N10million to the Eagles, after they defeated Tanzania 1-0 in September.

The cash reward was later converted to camp allowances by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) .

In other climes, the money will come from personal pockets, but these people will use public money to win unnecessary applause.

Thats motivating. But shouldn't be coming from the state government. This is the kinda of stuff expected of private companies.

I just pray we won't use calculator for this super eagles; na when u deh expect em to perform na hn dey dey misbehave

Where im get the money

Misplaced priorities, hope he is not among the governors owing salaries? Wasting state funds on frivolities, nonsense and ingredients

That is 46m

Too much for billionaires

What happened to our naira?
Must this sport pledge always be in dollars?

Tomorrow, they will say the naira is weak or is weakened, whereas we are the cause.
Why can't this governor say the amount in Naira?!
Is the dollar our legal tender?
Are we in the US?

That's nice.

MOTIVATION!!!

See wasting of govt money. So, If Eagles score three goals, he gives them 30,000 dollars from govt account! That's over N13 million to the boys for doing what is expected of them.

This is misplaced priority.

Coming from a Governor who refused to pay and recently sacked teachers in his state.
