Nigerian soldier slams Government over 150million Naira gift to super falcon:what about us?

A Nigerian soldier has expressed frustration and disappointment over the government's decision to gift each Super Falcons player ₦150 million and a three-bedroom flat for winning the WAFCON tournament.

 In a viral video, the soldier compared the lavish rewards to the struggles of military personnel who risk their lives daily, often with little recognition or support.

The soldier highlighted the stark contrast between the rewards for the footballers and the meager earnings of soldiers who serve for 35 years. He noted that even if a soldier retires without injury or death, their total earnings cannot match the rewards the footballers received for just one month of playing.

Some key points made by the soldier include

Soldiers' Earnings: Military personnel often risk their lives daily, with some dying in the line of duty without salaries paid or being buried without honor.

Comparison to Senators: The soldier pointed out that senators collect ₦29 million monthly, which dwarfs a soldier's entire career earnings.

Government Priorities: The soldier questioned the government's priorities, suggesting that they seem to value athletes more than those who sacrifice their lives for the country.

- *Call for Change*: Despite his pain, the soldier prayed for a change in leadership that would restore dignity to those who sacrifice for the country.

The soldier's video has sparked a wave of criticism, with many veterans and citizens expressing similar concerns over the government's priorities. Some have urged the government to provide better welfare and recognition for former service members, while others have condemned the extravagant rewards as insensitive.
