Super Eagles Vice Captain, Ahmed Musa has disclosed that the Super Eagles were yet to be paid their bonuses by the Nigeria Football Federation.
He, however, insisted that the players have put behind them the bonus row with the NFF, as they prepare to face Madagascar on Sunday (today).
Punch recalls that the players shunned a pre-match press conference and were late for their final training session ahead of Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Guinea, in protest over owed bonuses, before they were promised payment by the NFF.
Musa’s revelation at the pre-match press conference for Madagascar comes as a shock after the Federal Government intervened in the row, with the Presidency sending funds to Egypt for the payment of the players’ allowances.
“The spirit is good in camp and we are ready to play tomorrow (today). We have put the disagreement about bonuses behind us, we spoke amongst ourselves. I don’t know what the NFF has planned, but we will do our job. They are yet to pay the team’s outstanding bonuses. The governments all over Africa need to do better with financing teams for international competitions.
“We want to give our best for our fatherland. We don’t play to avoid injuries we always give our best. Madagascar are very good and it will be a tough game, but we are not afraid of any country.”
