saxywale: After the world cup, the sport press would focus on the shame brought upon Africa by the various teams that represented the continent. They were all in the competition for the money and not national pride or sportsmanship.

aManFromMars: They can afford to do that over there. They reward patriotism.

Back in Nigeria, to be a patriot is to yearn for poverty. Mediocrity is rewarded and honoured. Be a militant and earn salary from the government. Dine with them at Aso Rock.

Crooks get pardons. Our soldiers are slaughtered daily by Boko haram..

You are talking, don't mind the two faced Nigerians; i call them any where belle face. Those talking of patrotism should confirm how patrotic NFF is and JONA himself.

abrahym: Black man with greed

jakiedudu: Very admirable. I think the Greece National team gave a good account of themselves thus far in the world cup. Sadly African players are more concern concerned about money than playing for the glory for their countries.

abatically: Nice gesture from the Greek team. Not only Greece, most European countries don't pay much, it is the pride for players to play for their countries. You know why? Because their countries got their back and their government provide everything they need for them.

In Africa the case is different. Most African leaders are corrupt, they fill their pockets at the expense of citizens. So u can't really blame football players who demand for bonus before playing. They are doing their job and should be paid accordingly, or is it better the government put the money in their own pocket? Africa is like a jungle, survival of the fittest. Take naija for example, if after 2 years a player in the Super Eagles get injured and ruins his career while playing for the country, and he goes bankrupt. We all will be asking what he did with all the money he made. The government will wash their hands off such player. We have seen cases of past heroes now living in penury and the country can't do anything to help them.

In this country, u need to grab what u can grab while u have the opportunity. Same thing our politicians are doing, so u can't really blame the players. The government is not doing anything for them, the least they can do is get paid for their work.

spikes C: if they play and don't get paid, ya'll bite the government.
if they ask for payment before they play, ya'll bite the players.

Children of Africa, where do you stand.
Corruption is not our problem, it is how we respond to situations at any time.

cheguevera: HOW MANY OF YOU HYPOCRITES CAN DIE FOR NIGERIA ...... EMPTY BARRELS

wonda26: All you guys shouting naija this, Africa that should jusst chill. Yeah, what Greece did is highly commendable but u can't completely blame our African dudes.

First, why must our players be owed what has already been agreed in the first place? You know, from owing, na so the money go take miss.

Secondly, we all know our country, the money is available so why hoard it first? These guys don't want to be duped. After world cup, everybody go answer him papa name.

Thirdly, you cant vouch that such money if forfeited by our players would be used for whatever purpose they demand. Our corrupt officials go still share and divide the money. So why dash another man your sweat? This Europeans have a more organised system where things work so they are confident in the government. Brother, naija matter tire person abeg!

Kirinwa: Everybody is opening mouth now.If they give you $10,000 you will reject it abi??
Let me hear word jor.

They offered them,they chose what they wanted to do with it and are very sure it would be done.If SE should emulate them and tell sports minister to use it to build training centre be rest assured that e done be.That money will just grow legs and wings iimmediately.
