Courtney who’s younger sister of Super Eagles player, Bright Dike said she valued playing for Nigeria, more compared to monetary reward. Head of competition, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Dr. Sanusi Mohammed, made the revelation, saying that the federation was amazed at her refusal.
Sanusi told www.footballlive.ng that efforts to reach her mother could not really change Courtney’s mind as her mother instead supported her daughter’s stand not to collect the money. The Federation member said:
“Courtney Dike is based in America. When she was paid the outstanding 10 days worth of allowances in the tune of seven thousand dollars, she turned it down. When we called her mother to confirm the delivery of the allowances, she declined it and insisted the opportunity to serve Nigeria was all the reward the family needed. Besides she said she was to young to earn that much.”

This man is being loved to the core. its just too crazy for us to embrace silly sentiments when we are loosing largely. imagine his works in Imo, now he has brought governance to the grassroot, kept it in the car of the traditional rulers, upgraded women’s dignity and involved them in policy making. infact, I can’t say enough of him. “Speak English in public and be dethroned” – Gov. Rochas warns traditional rulers Posted by by Stanley Azuakola The English language may be Nigeria’s lingua franca, but in Imo State, South East Nigeria, speaking English in public is the surest way for a traditional ruler to be dethroned.
Henceforth, according to the Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, any Imo State monarch, who speaks English in any public forum in the state, risks losing his traditional stool. He said this in Owerri, the state capital last week, while inaugurating the state’s Imo Traditional Rulers Parliament and Community Government Council.
Read: The Owelle of Education Apart from Okorocha’s pronouncement, another highlight of the event, was the emergence of Eze Samuel Agunwa Ohiri as the elected chairman of the State Council of Traditional Rulers. Governor Okorocha charged the traditional rulers to use the forum to project the ideals of Igbo language and culture.
He said he did not want to see a situation where the native language and traditions of the Igbo people are allowed to go into extinction, adding that the parliament would afford the monarchs opportunity to deal sincerely and creditably with the issue of customary cases and matters in their various domains according to the rule of law. A recently passed law of the State House of Assembly, the Community Government Council Law Number 1 of 2012 was also presented at the occasion by the speaker of the state House of Assembly, Chief Benjamin Uwajimogu. Uwajimogu said before it was passed, it went through the rigorous legislative process, including receiving public hearing.
In his remarks, the new commissioner for Community Government Council and Public Utility, Prof. Chima Iwuchukwu, said the inauguration was one of the best things that have happened to the state. Okorocha was later conferred with a traditional title of Eze Gburugburu of Ndigbo (ruler of all Igbo people).
