Eagles get upfront payment
Adekunle Salami, Monastir
THE Nigeria Football Association, in a bid to boost the morale of the Super Eagles, on Wednesday paid them their allowances upfront.

NFA Chairman, Ibrahim Galadima, said that the move was aimed at lifting the spirit in camp after the defeat against Morocco on Tuesday.

Galadima said the players had shown remorse and it was only proper to assist in lifting the camp spirit to get the desired results in the subsequent matches.

"We played- a bad game against Morocco and now we need to fight back. This is our own way of standing by them to ginger them for better results.

"The daily camp allowances are quite important and it is also to show that their winning bonus is intact after our match on Saturday which we hope to win," he said.

The NFA chairman also disclosed that the winning bonus of the team would be reviewed if they booked a quarterfinal ticket.

"We promised to review it after qualification and we hope that things would improve from now," he said.

Eagles upkeep allowance is $100 per day.

$100 a day isnt pathetic, their feeding & hotel is being paid for. Furthermore this isnt part of their match bonuses.

You guys need to be a bit more realistic.

platinum, I should get the first disbursement, afterall I incurred huge expenses to see them play a beautiful match, instead all I got was a diabolical performance.

$100 USD a day is good enough. Factor in the currency exchange, lodging fully paid for and you will see that 100 USD a day is plenty.

Many of us survive on less that $100 USD a day. This is national duty and not a carrier with a fat paycheck. Ol'boys have been spoiled.

What the hell they gonna do with more than US $ 100 - PER DAY- while they are in camp DURING a tournament? In a cheap country like Tunisia, no less? They have hotel and food and airfare covered. Match bonuses are separate. This is just play money.

Abi you're their union leader and you would like them to have more cash for better quality Ashewo's or something?
