After Abdul Samad Rabiu pledged $1.5 million and performance bonuses to the Super Eagles ahead of the AFCON, some reactions took a more extreme tone.
One blunt comment read, “All this money is not enough. If they win the final, give them your company.” The remark sarcastically exaggerates the scale of reward expected, implying that no cash incentive, however large, is sufficient to motivate elite players. It reflects public frustration at the notion of paying already wealthy athletes while everyday Nigerians face economic hardship, using hyperbole to question whether monetary rewards are the right focus for national pride or sporting achievement.
