Soldier questions National Honours for Super Eagles amid battlefield sacrifices

A Nigerian soldier has sparked an online debate by questioning the government’s decision to reward the Super Eagles football team with houses, plots of land, and national honors following their second-place finish in the African Cup of Nations.

The soldier’s comments highlight the ongoing issue of balancing recognition for national figures with the needs of those serving in the military.

Adie Paul, a soldier who reportedly sustained a bullet injury while serving in the North East, took to social media to voice his frustration.
