Football
Protesting Super Falcons of Nigeria have been given a
paltry amount of N100,000 for successfully retaining their continental crown in
Cameroon.
The Florence Omagbemi’s women were given hundred
thousand naira [about $200] of the $16,500 accumulated bonuses from winning the
2016 African Women’s Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Nigerian women defeated the Indomitable Lionesses
of Cameroon to clinch a record 8th African Women Cup of Nations, AWCON,
title and since then, the players have
embarked on a sit-in protests to get their allowances and bonuses
A source from the Glass House, however, claimed the
100,000 naira was meant for transportation with a promise to offset their
outstanding debts in few days to avert further national embarrassment.
However, the ladies have maintained their stand not to
vacate the Agura Hotel until they get all their entitlements.
One of the payers told Goal on anonymity, “We got
100,000 naira but we were told it is part of our money. So, we are still here
until we hear from the sports minister.”
