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
