PHOTOS: Super Falcons Protests Non-Payment Of Allowances

The Super Falcons of Nigeria, this morning, are protesting over non-payment of allowances at NASS gate.

The ladies who emerged as African champion for the 8th time have not been paid their allowances and match bonuses after they won the just concluded AWCON by beating Cameroon ladies in the final in Yaounde.

This unfair treatment of the Nigeria Football Federation has led to this ongoing protest by the players and even one of the ladies, Francisca Ordega had said, "I regrets playing for Nigeria."

In a statement by one of the protest organisers, Aderonke Bello-Ogunleye, the team are ready to carry placards and proceed on a peaceful protest to the state house, where the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting will take place, in request of their allowances and bonuses which is estimated to be $24,000 each, approximately N11.5m per player.

“This is unfortunately a regular occurrence to female football in Nigeria, we treat our victorious girls with disdain and total disrespect as all the time...disgraceful really,”

“It is inconceivable that the NFF/Federal government are unwilling to pay the players their dues after winning the trophy. This has to stop and the girls must be paid their dues.

“We are going to protest the unfair treatment meted out to these champions who have won the tournament eight times, making them the most successful football team in Nigeria, and we hope the federal government will listen to their plea.” Aderonke said yesterday.

NFF gave the players N100k each but was rejected. 

See what the NFF are putting over victorious Super Falcons through. So bad
