An activist, Tounbo Aremo Odua, has complained that the $30,000 match bonus giving to the Super Eagles for winning their match against Ethiopia is against the Federal Character principles as it enriches the Igbo nation to the disadvantage of other players.
Tokunbo said because most of the players are of Igbo origin the dole out is unfair.
The activist’s post is reprinted below verbatim;
Now the Igbo Nation or Igbo people will be $330,000 or 60million Naira richer than every other ethnic nation /people in Nigeria...
This is the kind of inequality, injustice and unfairness that I'm talking about. If that country seriously want peace and progress it should learn how to unite Nigerians and treat every Nigerians equally and not favouring or promoting one ethnic nation /people over the others. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians and her success or failure in any events should be the joint responsibility of all ethnic nationals that made up the country. We might as well not qualify or win the Nations cup than putting forward all the Igbos to represent other ethnic nations.

Tounbo Aremo Odua, your comment is very useless. It is your kind that whip up sentiments in Nigeria and further remind the peace loving Nigerians of the issues that further divides the nation rather than unite us. Do we sacrifice quality on the altar of ethnicity? If the team that we make Nigeria Great comes from one family who cares as long as there is progress for every to see and enjoy from.
Nigeria is one family, The likes of Tounbo ae only there to create friction
