Yeah, it sounds good but it is rubbish! His generosity is out of place for a team that hasn’t done their home work well to win. If they had confidence in themselves and had done their home work well, why should cash gifts be promised? If such promises are made to motivate the team to beat ordinary Tanzania and qualify, what will happen if we were to face countries like senegal, Cameroon or egypt? I guess a direct ticket to heaven might be on the table for them. This clearly shows that the belief of working hard and doing the right thing to attain success in sports in Nigeria has totally wanned. The same cash gifts were promised our team during the 2 legged qualifiers against Ghana and we capitulated like a north korean missile. This tradition is counter productive. There are some problems money cannot solve.
