That's nice,but why is the coach's money,more than her's?
Buh mr Presido n Fellow Widow can chop food worth billion naira in a year and now they are appreciating a recorder holder 3m fucking shit. Nigeria I hate thee
A very ridiculous gift; Mr President go and learn from other countries how they reward their sportsmen. Longest hisssssssss
Why 3.5m for the couch and 3M for Blessing? This is a clear case of " Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop" Looool hahah... Just kidding tho.... Congrats to her, well deserved.

Oga presido, wot of me?
Hard work really pays,enjoy ur cash Ble_ble!
Dat amount is too small 4 her, she worth more Dan dat.
Sage! Ehen ...Linda this night I will use marine rope and tie my two legs then pretend to b marmaid...dancing sakobi in d River.
Dats gud, thumbs up to Mr President
It's a shame on a nation like Nja to ve given someone who brought honours to the country just N3m. Despite all the efforts she has put into training. Common Mr President, you can do better to encourage others.
Cool. Bt HO̶̶̷̲̥̩̥̅̊͡ cum Ђeя̲̅ coach I̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ collecting M̶̲̥̅☺nε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ more than Ђeя̲̅.

It's a shame on a nation like Nja to ve given someone who brought honours to the country just N3m. Despite all the efforts she has put into training. Common Mr President, you can do better to encourage others.
Only 3 million naira. That's crap
Pls can some of this coys such as glo and MTN start supporting and endorsing sports rather than dash money to certain artists who aren't even worth the dashing of money. As in seriously.
Deserving of her. Thank u mr president.
Thank God, they are remembering athlete. Big up Jonathan, but fix this country esp corruption and amenities so that we can award you too.
Quite encouragin...dat wld motivate odas to buckle UP.#i always dream of been d first Nigeria to win a GOLD medal in Gymnastic...at d Olympics##..if only my PoT-Belly wld make me bee#
Oga at the top don see another catch to lavish Nigeria's money on. See him face as he dey smile. Kai this man too like woman abeg!
Nice man
Sumed up to 6.5million. Jona students are still sitting at home.o
Asuu don get their moni??
Finally de do something for her!
Laribizzle
Τ̅ђα† nice.At least ђξ still values nigerians Fø̲̣̣я̅ their effort.
Great stuff. The minister of sport should do more too.some sport still need attention.
You are touching everywhere as your power reach. But opposite people will not see it.
Thank you Pres. Jona. Well done for recognising that we are more than football.
I agree with you, thumbs up, coach, wow
Blessing is beautiful sha...i'm actually crushing on her like serena williams
That's nice, good way to encourage her
Well done gej, dats a nice one
I agree with you, thumbs up, coach, wow
D money is too small jare
Mide
Long overdue..
Long overdue..
Only 3million?!!!! From the President?!
Its abt time!
She deserves it all!
3 million naira is way too small....
Keep the fire burning blessing, hard work pays
Dat is good is wot we want at nigeria
Why her coach go collect money pass okagbare...rubbish..nobody even knows the coach name
Impressive!!!
Nice one Mr President! That's motivation.
She deserves it...... Kudos!
Hmmn...nice 1 tho.
She performed wonderfully
It's still same problem of putting square pegs in round holes. I don't know what labaran many who was useless as informatn minister can do as minister of defence. *sigh* Niger my country while everything is political.
3m for her , 3.5m for her coach ....huh yet Nigeria î§ broke that she can't settle ASSU agreement. Na waoooooh
About time! If it were money she stole they for don honor am tey, tey. But na win she win, the must follow protocol.
Over hyped Blessing... Her problem is not her talent .... We expect too much from her during meets... She always buckles...I hwever knw she'll get dere one day
3m not good enough abeg
which smelling good,how is it good please,when he can and should have actually given her more.
Congrats Blessing and a big thanks to you for not switching Nationality at least not yet cos even the federal government and their officials hailing you now dont know the pains behind the gain,,if anyone doubt me go to the national stadium and get opinions of our athletes!
I hate reading anything abt jona in the news... Anywayz God bless blessing and her family for making naija proud
I think the money is too small for two medals
Abeg who run the run wey coach go get money pass am?!
We no go gree oh!
What is thumbs up?will Johnathan give his own girl friend 3million naira for running?No.why give her 3mil den.its fucking too small
Nice 1 but Jona own no the pass national honours?very soon e go give national honours to dat benin boy who follow arik air to lagos..scumbag
Huh? Why would the coach get more?
Share the money abeg, even if e no reach me, make people where deserve am follow chop abeg.
Well deserved Blessing honey. so glad she's getting some of the recognition she deserves.
So the coach deserves more money than the person who actually won the medals. Or is it age they use in determining? Na wa o!
Ungrateful nation that is why we are like this. Coaches receive more than athletes they work very hard to see an athlete excell dummies.
Always appreciate what you have no matter how small or big.
Good comment
The girl nko see as she dey smile dey look president.
Ode...do u rily knw d meanin of Coach?check ur dictionary
Ode...do u rily d meanin of Coach?chek ur dictionary
ermmmm the 3million is wayyyyyyyy toooo smallll......kai...give her 10million jare
3.5million is okay for the coach ..hehe
but na he should increase the money
at least he is even recognizing someone other than footballers.
How come Okagbare's coach is getting more money than her? Is he a white coach???
@Adekunle Kazeem, September 11, 2013 at 11:08 PM- WHAT ABOUT YOU- WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP FIX THE COUNTRY??? FRANKLY, I DON'T BLAME POLITICIANS BUT COMMON, ORDINARY NIGERIANS LIKE YOU WHO HAVE CORRUPTED AND DESTROYED THE COUNTRY. ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE EVEN WILLING TO SELL THEIR VOTES FOR MONEY
The coaches always get more. From the Super Eagles you will see the main coach gets more.
I mean, Blessing deserves all she gets. I agree with all of you, N3m is too small and she should get more. The girl is my pride and the pride of Naija. I have watched her live over the years in meets, Olympics and grand prixs. Couldn't make it to the recent world championships sadly but watched every moment on TV. I was in the London Anniversary games when she broke the 100m African record and I went wild. LOL! Yes, I am a big athletics fan!! I'm always routing for my girl and you should hear me scream when she is on the tracks. Well done, girl!! She needs a lot of encouragement and motivation and she is even going to create more records. Yes, N3m is quite small as I have already written but don't be deluded; you do not have many countries rewarding their athletes with money. National honours, yes but not money. That only happens mainly in the developing world. But I am all for the money because we do not have any other thing to offer her. I am hoping she gets National honours soon and a street named after her in the capital, as well as financial support to continue her training. Yes, she deserves all of that because it is not easy to excel and be world-recognised in an individual sport.
Mumu she was discovered in warri
Ur foolishness no get grade so Linda would go n bring dem together for u ba? Mumusco
Please i just had to ask anyone who knows ... which coach biko? the Naija one or the American one?

oga o
If he gives more than dat,u people will say he has packed our mony 2 her,dat asuu is dere,he gave d one he knew dey won't crucify him 4 una stil dey complain dat its too small
Well spoken! I wonder where d niger delta militant was wen her state gov single handedly sponsored her to WAC in russia...if she didn't get such support dat eventually led to her winning @ russia I wonder if d clown will call her to dish 3million. BTW has his 53 gold coated iphones landed safely? Mtscheeeew
