Onanuga, in a post on his X handle, expressed surprise at
the criticism from some Nigerians over the presidential rewards, questioning why
the gesture was being met with disapproval.
He drew a comparison with the BBNaija reality show, pointing
out that its winner receives a N150 million grand prize.
“When you remember that Multichoice, the organizer of the
BBNaija reality show, is offering the winner ₦150 million grand prize, you
wonder why some Nigerians are unappreciative of President Tinubu’s rewards to
the Super Falcons,” Onanuga wrote. “President Tinubu has rewarded excellence,
creativity, hard work, soccer artistry, and the undying Nigerian spirit.”
Recall that President Bola Tinubu offered each player a cash
reward of $100,000 and each coach and support staff member $50,000.
He also conferred the national honour of Officer of the
Order of the Niger (OON) on all 24 players and 11 technical crew members.
Additionally, each member of the team will receive a
three-bedroom apartment under the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Housing
