Ex-Internationals Adepoju, Esin, React to N18.6M Monthly Pay for Eagles Coach

Following his two-year contract to handle the Super Eagles, German coach Gernot Rohr will reportedly be earning the sum of N18.6m ($47, 000) per month.


Rohr, 63, will be paid the sum by an oil and gas firm owned by billionaire club owner Ifeanyi Ubah, which has agreed to sponsor the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

His massive pay has sparked reactions among former members of the Super Eagles, who question the latest move by the NFF, Vanguard reports.
“It’s not justified. What’s the criteria for paying him that amount of money? What major National team has he handled before?” Former Green Eagles star Etim Esin queried. 
“Well, those in charge know all the intrigues. They did all they did just to get a foreign coach. What’s the guarantee that he’ll qualify us for Russia 2018? They know what they are going to get from it. They just look for a way to milk us of our resources. I don’t think it’s a good move, but then I think the people in the glass house know what they want.”
Mutiu Adepoju was a bit more empathic with the Glass House, saying the end will justify the means in this case.
“I think it’s the agreement between the Nigerian Football Federation and the coach. The only thing I’m concerned about is if the team will perform well in order to qualify for the World Cup.”
When compared to his predecessors, his salary is quite astronomical as former coach Sunday Oliseh was paid N5million monthly, while the late Stephen Keshi was said to be offered a N7m per month deal before he was sacked last year.

Rohr gets a first taste of the job when Nigeria take on Tanzania in an Afcon 2017 qualification tie in Uyo September 3, and the former Burkina Faso and Gabon coach has invited 23 players for the clash.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
