Liberia President promises bonus of $150,000 for win against Nigeria

The Lone Stars have been told to beat Nigeria on Saturday and pocket 150,000 USD.

The financial boost is coming from Liberia President, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf who said in a radio broadcast to the country yesterday evening that the Super Eagles are beatable and her boys should go for victory tomorrow.

“I want to welcome all of our fellow countrymen who have come from overseas to lift the colour of the nation on the pitch, we wish all of you success as you go all out in defence of the state,” the President said in her broadcast.

The Liberian leader urged all Liberians across the country to put on their Red, White and Blue to participate in the game by cheering the team to victory.

“All of you that will not come to see the team because you are far away in other parts of the country, I ask that you tune in to the radio to continuously support the team throughout the 90 minutes.

“As for you the playing team, we want victory from you and you get a return from us all Liberians, especially a game bonus of 150,000 United States Dollars,” the Liberian leader concluded in her two minute radio message.
