President Bola Tinubu has coffered national honours on all of the Super Eagles squad that won the silver medal at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.

The president also granted a plot of land in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and a flat to each of them for their feat at the just concluded competition.

Nigeria’s run to claim the country’s fourth AFCON title came to a disappointing end after the Eagles lost 2-1 to Cote d’Ivoire in the final on Sunday.

The Eagles took the lead in the match after William Troost-Ekong scored a powerful header in the first half, but Franck Kessie and Sebastien Haller scored in the second half for the Ivorians.


While receiving the team at the presidential villa, Abuja, on Tuesday, Tinubu honoured every member of the silver medal-winning squad with Member of the Order of Niger (MON).

The president then praised the team’s resilience, sportsmanship and can-do attitude.

He also thanked the players for lifting the nation’s spirit with their performance at AFCON.


Afterwards, Nyesome Wike, minister of FCT, presented of the team with forms to fill out and claim their gifts of lands and apartments.

lord Ebin pawa on the beat


The man who built lagos is building Nigeria

Presidents should be judged by tribe since we vote for tribe

If the president performs, the whole tribe is applauded. If he fails, the whole tribe is shamed

Maybe by this, the tribes will present their bests. See what Ebin pawa is doing to his tribesmen…

These are desperate times so we try everything possible to salvage Nigeria from the demons of APC

Had I known comes at the end….

That Ojota protest destroyed good Nigeria

The rich getting more....good gesture anyways 😄😄😄

I noticed tinubu wanted to use super eagles as an escape route

Well deserved.

They did their best. They were initially tagged Super Chickens & nobody gave them any chance to even qualify from their group, talk less of getting to the Final.

Gifting millionaires houses and lands, that’s outside what they’ll be paid.

Oga Tinubu gifts Nigerian there minimum wage
We are tired of the rich getting more rich government

I hope he fulfills this one because he has not fulfilled any single promise he has made since May 29 except agreeing with buhari last minute policy that subsidy is removed

Congrats to the Super Eagles.

Well deserved!

Rubbish, for breaking our hearts

Even Iwobi, Aina and zaidu will still get

That's commendable.
Congratulations to them.
They gave their best.
There is always another time.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏

No matter what,
Wailers, children of frustrations, perdition and hate will still wail about this good gesture from the President.
Nothing whatsoever, nothing makes them happy in life.


N.B : we talk am 😛 😝
They will never disappoint.
Awon werey 100%.
Frustrated low life losers in life.

BreconHills:

In fact they will now hate them the more simply
because of this picture.
These people are like orcs - mindless group hate.

You know dem wells.
Very frustrated and annoying species they are.
Never do wells dem.

Kinzo0917:

Most Nigerians are saddist
Yes 👍, things are not right in the country ATM but when government did what is commendable, dey shld be commended
What Tinubu did to the players is 100% spot on

You are spot on.

They should give us the ers too nah.

I whole heartedly applaud these

Nice one

They are already rich and well paid. What is he doing for the poor?

He did well land and house in Abuja together
Life time investment he gave them


This is wise of him the rich among them will build plaza or house for rent on the land

They will have something to fall back on wheh they retire

If I was president I will allocate free land to anyone abroad ready to invest 1m dollar in real estate or manufacturing
