The Eaglets won the FIFA Under 17 world cup last Sunday in Chile which was the fifth time Nigeria was winning the youth tournament.
Expressing their views on Twitter, some Nigerians called on President Muhammadu Buhari to reward the Golden Eaglets in cash.
Twitter user @TheMidasMicheal feels the Eaglets deserve monetary rewards; "the golden Eaglets deserve monetary rewards with some part of it invested in stocks for future and continuous grooming to senior level," he said.
Another tweet by @dawisu thinks because of the current economic crisis, it might not be wise giving cash to the eaglets; "Baba (PMB) won't give cash, but it should be both ways, cash and fixed assets," he tweeted.
For @MustapherSaeed; "the best way to reward the Eaglets is by upgrading some of them to play in the senior national team."
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said he will fulfil the promise he made to the 1985 set of the Golden Eaglets.
The team had in 1985 become the first to win the Under-17 World Cup.
The position of Buhari was contained in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said he was disappointed by state governments who failed to carry out a directive he handed over to them during his military leadership.
