This is one of the biggest shocker of the year. How dare a nation encourage heroes in such a way. According to Nigerian Pilot, members of the FIFA U-17 World Cup winning squad, the Golden Eaglets are still in shock after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF handed them a 'princely' sum of N20, 000 each before they dispersed in Abuja last Thursday. One of the players allegedly said: “It’s surely not the best way to treat heroes. The money they gave us could not even fetch us flight tickets to take us home to see our loved ones.’’
