I love the Super Eagles so much, they made us extremely proud and by God's grace they won the AFCON. The part that is leaving me bewildered is the presentation of National Honours, Land and Money by the Government of Nigeria to the Super Eagles.

This is an excerpt from Linda Ikeji's blog 

Coach Stephen Keshi - Commander of the Order of Niger. N10million. Plot of land in Abuja.

Asst Coach Daniel Amokachi - Officer of the Order of Niger. N5m. Plot of land in Abuja

Asst Coach Ike Shorumu - Officer of the Order of Niger. N5m. Plot of land in Abuja

Captain Joseph Yobo - Officer of the Order of Niger. N5million. Plot of land in Abuja

Super Eagles players - Member of the Order of Niger. N5million. Plot of land in Abuja

Technical crew - N2 million

Do we just dole out Commander of the Order of Niger? or give plots of land just like that? it means there's no real worth in all these National honours. All the Super Eagles players including those that played and those that did not, are holders of National Honours, lol!!!!. The big men of Nigeria are already fattening the Eagles by giving them lots of cash. The problem is; giving them cash and pumping money on them is shortsightedness, why don't we revamp the sports sector and make Nigerian football worth watching.

I still love my Country jare, we are filled with everyday drama......
