Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: World Cup Qualifiers

Nobody said it's important. I just highlighted it because it was part of the programme of the NFF for the Super Falcons. It's part of football culture that champions will parade around a particular area where the fans will cheer them on. It's not compulsory but it's usually a beautiful and exciting experience.

Ivory Coast organised a parade for the male team when they won the current African Cup of Nations. Maybe the NFF want to make this win historical by adding the parade.

Organising a parade for the Falcons is not a bad idea, as a matter of fact, it gives them the joy of accomplishments and satisfaction and also, it motivates them to do more when they see their fans, supporters and well wishers cheering them up for the victory. Such parade is not too common in this part of the world unlike the west and Asian countries that do organise parades for their athletes after a victorious return.

However, even if they cancelled the initial parade, they could still fix a new date for the to do the parade as it is still not too long they returned home with the trophy and bedsides, it is rainy season so the weather wouldn't be that friendly but at most they have already attempted to do a parade which was put on hold as a result of the rain.

We really need to appreciate the Super Falcon's team for this great achievement, as such parade for them will be a memorable one especially in the presence of their fans, if the Nigerian government in the name of NFF treats this team well it definitely will encourage them to do more in the future, we used to hear series of stories in the past how players were not treated well in the past after they achieved a national honor, but I believe this is now a story of the past.

Some people in Nigeria are against government for giving the Super Falcon's $100k each and also a house or a land, I really don't see why people are angry about that reward is nothing to government the money is there and I don't see anything wrong for the government to reward them like that they all deserve it, they have lifted the African cup of nation 10 times so I see no reason why people should be angry or saying that the reward given to them by the Federal government in Nigeria is too much, I believe they will do more when they are rewarded very well.
I really don't know the problem of Nigerian people when the players are not treated well they complain and now the players are be treated well they are still complaining, if the Nigerian government once to fund money to other places they can do it and the reward they gave to the Super Falcon's didn't prevent it.
I heard someone saying that the Federal government should have used the money to develop the country I just laughed please let's change our mindset.

I was overjoyed, and I still find nothing wrong with the government sponsoring and honouring the Super Falcons with such a large sum of money apiece, as well as a home and land. Well, I believe they deserve better. These people work considerably harder on the games, and they need to be fed well, so this might improve their prospects while also making them feel like the government is behind them in every way. Furthermore, I believe that the government's financial resources are sufficient to pay such a reward without compromising other sectors. I believe that if the government believes it is necessary to assist them in making their lives more pleasant, that is quite legitimate.

You're right the super falcons are not the problems of Nigeria. It's wrong for Nigerians to starts envying the prestigious rewards and gifts the super falcons received from the government. This is a normal thing that has been going on each time our super falcons won the competition. They all deserved more than what they were giving because they worked so hard to earned it. I'm happy because the girls represented Nigeria very well by bringing the trophy home for the 10th times,it's not an easy tasks but the super falcons were able to accomplish all of that. It pains me when our super falcons were not appreciated by most Nigerians. Most of this Nigerians dragging our super falcons on the social media should redirect their problems to the corrupt government that were elected democratically by the same corrupt system. Some of this bitter Nigerians should understand that the super falcons doesn't deserve all this negative energy but deserved a national celebration for making us proud.

What you just really made mention of reflects a true sense of pride speaking and admiration for the Super Falcons achievement and a desire to see them recognised and celebrated for their contributions to Nigerian pride 🇳🇬. Just as you have made mention of, I think Nigerians should focus on holding accountable the government officials who might be corrupt rather than envying the players's reward.
