President-General of the Nigerian Football and other Sports Supporters Club, Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, has disclosed that it would require a whooping N30 million to storm South Africa and drum support for the Flying Eagles, participating in the African Youth Championship.
Ladipo, who made the disclosure in a chat with the sporting media in Abuja, said that he was planning to hit the southern African country with 60 members, expressing optimism that the South African Embassy would grant all of them travelling visa today.
“The Nigerian Supporters Club will be there in South Africa. Globacom will be there for us and it will give us some assistance but it will not be enough. No amount of money given us can be enough, considering the fact that we may be up to 100 members in South Africa.
“We have to take care of their accommodations, match ticket, feeding and other logistics. All these will take more than N20 or N30 million for the trip alone. We are bringing our members from Delta, Abia, Imo, Bauchi, Kaduna, Rivers Oyo, Ogun, Lagos and other states.
“It is not a small expenses because members have to come by busses, flight, we will accommodate and feed them and also give them allowances. Where do I get this money?
