“The bonuses for
the semi final and final matches of the World Cup have not been paid to the
Eaglets. There is no money to pay these bonuses and we can’t pay them for now. The

we gave the players N20,000 each as winning bonus. Where can we get the money?
It’s just a lie.

“As soon as we
get enough money we will pay all the players. They have done this country proud
by winning the U-17 World Cup and we must appreciate them by paying any money
