Nigerian Pilot is reporting that members of the FIFA U-17 World Cup winning squad, the Golden Eaglets have confided them that they are yet to recover from the shock after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF handed them a paltry 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(whom they are not sure would still love them with such amount of money)..’’
Another player said on phone yesterday: “I’ve heard about how badly players have been treated in the past. I didn’t think ours would come so soon. I am still, however, grateful to God we came home with the trophy. The victory has opened new doors of opportunity which we are already exploring.’’
