According to reports, Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and a few
other players received $130,000 ( N21 million) each as appearance fee
for the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil.
“It was not a flat rate, but some of the players like Enyeama, who were involved in both the qualifiers as well as the World Cup in Brazil got as much as $130,000,” an official told AfricanFootball.com.
The money is outside the match bonus and daily allowances they were paid. Team officials were also reportedly not left out as some of them received $25,000. But According to the football site, there
were disagreements over the money, particularly as regards whether those who qualified
the team for Brazil 2014 should also get part of the appearance fee.
"There was a big issue among the senior players whether those who were part of the qualifiers should also get something. At the end of the day, Joseph Yobo prevailed that they also have to be included. So, even some players like John Utaka & Raheem Lawal, who played just a couple of qualifiers, will also get something" An official said
