Good luck babes, destribalized Nigerians, the very best doing us proud. Up up Nigeria!
The girls will enjoy the experience even more if NFF ONIGBESE was paying their bonuses in timely fashion. Many of these girls are not wealthy like the SE players. They need their bonuses. It is criminal that their bonuses are being misappropriated. A huge shame indeed!
