Nigerian Soldier Questions Government's ₦150m Reward to Super Falcons Amid Military Hardship

A Nigerian soldier has voiced his frustration in a viral video, drawing a sharp contrast between the government's generous rewards to the Super Falcons and the ongoing struggles faced by military personnel.

In the emotional clip, he criticized President Tinubu's decision to award each player ₦150 million and a three-bedroom apartment for winning the WAFCON tournament, pointing out that soldiers who risk their lives daily often retire after 35 years of service with little to show for it.

He argued that even a soldier who survives the dangers of duty without injury or death earns far less over their entire career than what the footballers received for just a month of competition.
