Many Nigerians have angrily stormed social media to show solidarity with the Super Falcons whose allowances have not been paid.
Falcons protesting
The players of Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons, this morning, staged a protest at the gates of the National Assembly to press for the payment of their unpaid bonuses and allowances.
