The trio of Odion Ighalo, Victor Anichebe and Victor Osimhen have called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to pay the Super Falcons their unpaid salary and bonuses following their impressive showing at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The call is coming within hours Global players union, FIFPRO released a statement on its readiness to assist the players in recovering their outstanding wages from the NFF.
Recall that the bonus row dominated Nigeria’s pre World Cup preparation but the players took decision to keep the concerns off until the end of their Women’s World Cup journey.
Super Eagles and Napoli forward Victor Osimhen wrote, ” Pay them @nffofficial” with an emoji of disappointment while former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo made a comment that tells a long story.
” NFF never stop all these things “ , Ighalo wrote on Twitter.
Former Everton striker, Victor Anichebe, wrote: “NFF pay them! They did us all proud! And even if they didn’t. Pay them what they are owed!!!”
The Super Falcons were eliminated from the tournament in Australia and New Zealand after a penalty shootout defeat to England.

I’m just Shot of words to describe how this Cesspool called NFF has rubished Nigeria in the EYES of the rest of the world. Where do other countries get money to pay their players? Why can’t we learn from them ? and stop exposing our tidy linen in the public. To be honest , I think this little administrative details sometimes determined the outcome Of matches. God said , do not be deceived. Whatever a man soweth, the same he shall reap. Why do the NFF feel that God of soccer will fold his hands and allow Nigeria defeat England even if 2men down after all their FA has put in with a Godly Heart. Until NFF change their attitude towards these innocent Nigerians who are bread winners for the families .he go Hard for Naija to win world cup
Do we even have any linen to expose anymore? Has everything not been exposed already…. We just have a bunch of jokers as administrators in various sporting organisations – NFF, NBBF to name quite a few
Go and check it, these NFF guys have already collected their allowances for being part of the delegation to the competition. What will it take to make Nigerian officials to always do the right thing ?
Do not be surprised to learn that the said allowance is generating interest payments in one of their personal accounts.
Them no born NFF to tell coach to drop Osimhen from the team as Oparanozie was done with.
If dem DROP am wetin you wan DO? BURN down GLASS HOUSE?
Dey Play!
