N20,000 For Victorious Eaglets, Is Nigeria Really That Broke?

The world conquering, record-breaking and Victorious Golden Eaglets of Nigeria arrived the country a few days ago with high hopes of exciting rewards and gifts only to receive a very rude shock of their lives.

The PILOT newspaper reports that Eaglets were disgraced; given a paltry N20,000 each as cash rewards. The paper reports that the players says that that is not the best way to treat heroes.

So, these young enterprizing boys were or are to be rewarded with just N20,000 for their wonderful feat at Chile under 17 world cup? Is Nigeria Really That Broke?

Its a SeriousMata.
