Super Eagles Players In Appearance Fee Fight

[Player]

No accountability, no transparency, no nothing, how da hell do people cope in Nigeria...smh

[zee]

Kai! It has come down to money again. BTW what happened to the Code of Conduct produced by NFF and agreed by the players before now?

The money that Mikel and Yobo want..is ADDITIONAL, not what was agreed.

Kid ...........I feel like slapping the foolish naivete from your head.
Just shutup and learn from folks that know the 'WAYS' of the NFA/NFF for over 3 decades.
Being a certified crook is the 1st prerequisite to serve in that .....criminal and 'un-patriotic' organization!!!!!!!

I thought so, because the Code of Conduct foreclosed all matters around players' conduct. Has Yobo decided to take his pound of flesh on us by way of this WC campaign, I wonder? Well, his poor on-field performance is clear evidence we have a saboteur in our midst!

The 'saboteurs' are the NFF crooks and the 'useful idiots' that are ignorantly supporting their criminal schemes.

I was wondering when the NFF would show their dirty hands again........so predictable
bunch of unpatriotic zombies

Nigerians are proud pationate at times but never patriotic & to be honest Patrism is the main ingredient (not ingreediance) to a winning World Cup team,teams like Italy & Germany scrap & scrape to finals with below average performances in the early stages only to pick up shred tiring opponents!

[zoro]

Yobo, Yobo, Yobooooo. The agent of discord. The agent of discord. Keshi has been proved right.

Is the money from FIFA meant to be shared or is the largesse meant to develop the game of football in general in the participating countries?

I fail to understand why players need to be asking for appearance fees or why the NFF needed to pocket anything.

[fledy]

Na the players money! They are not asking for the impossible. It should be given to them.

[mcal]

...oh well, e don come again o.
I knew this will surface, the thieves been licking their chops for not getting their way with Keshi.
Oh boy, there go our world cup dream of doing well and progressing.
They say breakfast is best food of the day, starve a child and he will be sluggish in class, sleeping thru lessons.
Starve the SE of their due pay out, and they will be sluggish on match day.
Damn, I give up. Hope this is not true

That word develop is for organised nations,that's why I put that particular subject in brackets on a earlier post on this thread,I only care about these dis functional clowns because my blood is Nigerian but all I see is disarray & disunity to be honest its been like this from the start!
Even Nigerian youth team players scramble for the cash whilst there's no official NFF academy no real football specific national stadia.

[ugly boy]

give them their money. 23 times 100k is not even half 9 million

The money is not meant for the players. The FA needs to develop the league so half of the money doesn't have to go to the players in the tournament. There is money for preparing for such tournaments to include friendlies, housing, qualifying etc...Playing for the national team is not meant to make one rich overnight. They need to be fairly remunerated but 100k appearance fee is pushing it...

[ugly boy]

No wonder agents pay serious money to get their players to the world cup. With the appearance fee alone you have covered Keshi's "alleged" bribe money...The rest is just extra

Without them, the money would not exist...

Furthermore, exactly how is it mutually-exclusive to pay the players an appearance fee and "develop the league" with the money?

[mcal]

...defenders of the thieves passionately defending them.

[smartbrother]

greedy and useless. thats yobo for you

[Catalyst]

we need to disband this team honestly.

Why?

If genuinely able players are picked Nigeria might even advance from the group stage and play an extra match or 2.

[wazobia]

FIFA might soon need to pay African players directly on interfere in these issues

[felarey]

If the US and Ghana are paying 75k to each player, our players are wise to ask for something similar. But I really hope the likes of Ideye, Nosa and Mba will get their share for playing in d qualifiers. Having said dat, it's concerning to think of what has happened to the millions FIFA has been giving us all these years age grade inclusive. Same NFF can't pay N5m/month and owes coaches for months. Even dropped Okpalla for lack of money.

Part of it meant for preparation like $1.5m. Most countries are giving their players such monies. Aren't they hens laying the golden eggs?

All this arguing before a ball is even kicked,I wonder what will keep them from sleeping in Brazil this time?
Last time they got a late flight from Namibia & didn't sleep because of money to be honest Nigerians & money is like crack to a street walking whore!

...the same money is keeping some sleepless here because their boys never made the team. To placate a Nigerian, just show the money
