  • Congratulations ladies. Half bread is definitely better than none.

    • And the bronze prize sum of $200k, almost #100m won should make Bayelsa Queens dominate Nigeria league for years if properly utilized and not diverted

  • @Sly, i can bet you that the money is already shared even before they collect it. Once its remitted, it will disappear and unaccounted for.
    The administrators will run back to the state government for more funds.
    That’s how those cronies behave.
    Let’s just hope those girls have been paid what is due to them.
