MAYOWAAK: An activist, Tounbo Aremo Odua, has complained that the $30,000 match bonus giving to the Super Eagles for winning their match against Ethiopia is against the Federal Character principles as it enriches the Igbo nation to the disadvantage of other players.

Tokunbo said because most of the players are of Igbo origin the dole out is unfair.

The activist’s post is reprinted below verbatim;

Now the Igbo Nation or Igbo people will be $330,000 or 60million Naira richer than every other ethnic nation /people in Nigeria...
This is the kind of inequality, injustice and unfairness that I'm talking about. If that country seriously want peace and progress it should learn how to unite Nigerians and treat every Nigerians equally and not favouring or promoting one ethnic nation /people over the others. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians and her success or failure in any events should be the joint responsibility of all ethnic nationals that made up the country. We might as well not qualify or win the Nations cup than putting forward all the Igbos to represent other ethnic nations.

manny4life: It's called a foot in the door, when people see that he has given money and gifts, it adds good will to him and his companies which in turn enriches him x100. He's laying the groundwork, when he begins to sow, then you'll see and quit asking dumb questions

@GARRI X7

Demdem: ex-servicemen in the country are called the Legions.

OK! U would have said that all along. Well, in that regard, govt has an evil conspiracy around that, and that's were they fall our hands.

aurenflani: You wicked no be small

But I think that was due to inserting error.

Pls don't get me wrong, i no mean to yab the guy o. I just wanted to point out his/ her error that's all.

Demdem: u dont need to be close to them for u to know that they are complaining. listen to the news. just last month when fallen heros were celebrated all over the country, come listen to complaints all over the country from legions as regards their entitlements, pensions etc.Not even gifts oooo.

Nna ehn! All these legions u are talking about, who are these legions?

Idi Amin: Vote STEPHEN OKECHUKWU KESHI for President 2019. This culd also be expectd soon:/

Yeah right! Now that'll be overdoing it!

Demdem: The legions are in a better position to answer that and believe u me, they are lamenting.

What legions? Are u that close to them?

Demdem: i asked a question earlier but u didnt answer.
What about those that have laid their precious lives for this country? what should or have been done for them or their loved ones still living?

Govt is coming to that, their rewards is still in the pipeline.
But seriously, its not all heros-past that have been forgotten. The Military can attest to that.

ebamma: when my mates were busy playing football my parents told me that they were useless and that education was the best way out of poverty and i believed them, now armed with a Bsc i'm driving truck for dangote while my useless area guys are earning millions through football #You lied to me dad.

Eyah! Nice super story! Am already forming tears in my eyes.

Some people are busy saying the govt is taking this gesture too far. I for one, think they deserve it, cos remember no one gave them a chance before and during the AFCON tournament.
Keshi and his lads have done well and they should be rewarded, and while we are at it, also encourage the younger and older ones.

na_joke: ^

Yeees, they are very proud of me. Meanwhile, "Don't patronize me boi, i know u re joking again." If u no wan see my red eye!

Akpan107: Sometimes, we disagree to agree!

Ngwakwe: This our democracy is becoming far more better than Gen. Buhari's military rule.

The era where too much power lies in the hand of one man is over.

Institutionalized rule of Law is the way forward, no matter who is elected President. There must be a laid down procedure for resolving issues in a Constitutional democracy.

Things are getting better in Nigeria.
