Soldier Frowns At Tinubu’s Gift To Super Eagles

A Nigerian soldier, identified as Adie Paul, has frowned at the decision of President Bola Tinubu to reward the Super Eagles with houses, plots of land, and national honours after they came second in the recently-concluded African Cup of Nations, AFCON.

The Soldier’s displeasure stemmed from the abandonment of soldiers in the battle field.

The soldier who said he  sustained a bullet injury while serving in the North East took to his X handle to express his frustration.

He made his position known while reacting to a post by an X-user, drpenking, who tweeted, “Even Ahmed Musa wey no kick ball once for AFCON follow collect flat, land and OON. Wonderful times.”

Reacting to the post, the soldier, while sharing a picture, wrote, “Yet, as a soldier, I stayed in the North East fighting Boko Haram for four years plus, I was shot and I am still carrying the bullet in me till date, not even a medal from the Army/Nigeria government.”

Recall that Tinubu had on Tuesday conferred the national honour of Member of the Order of the Niger on every member of the Super Eagles  team that won Silver medal at AFCON.
