A senior player in the senior national team of Nigeria says they have not been paid any match bonus for two years by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria will be taking part in the Africa playoff for a spot in the world cup next year. They will begin their campaign at the mini tournament in Morocco with a game on the 13th against Gabon.
They head into the tournament as favourites despite the presence of Congo Dr and Cameroon who will be up against each other in the second semi final of the playoff.
Looking forward to the games and on the issue of bonuses, a senior player in the team said it’s not even an issue because they haven’t been paid for two years.
” I am not sure anyone is thinking about bonuses in the team , because we haven’t been paid for two years. Most people don’t know that but it’s not enough reason not to honour the call up or put in your best when you play for Nigeria”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” I wasn’t in the team for the Unity Cup or the friendly game against Russia but I reliably gathered that no one was paid a dime. It’s been the same story for two years now”, he concluded.
