CASH GIFT FOR CAMEROON ROUT
Gernot Rohr's men will pocket the cash
reward after netting four goals to silence the
Indomitable Lions in Friday's World Cup
qualifier in Uyo
Having scored four goals against Cameroon,
the Nigeria's senior national team will claim
$95, 000 as cash gift for a 4-0 victory in the
2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier on Friday.
Before the encounter, sports minister
Solomon Dalung had announced a cash
reward of five million naira for each goal
scored by Gernot Rohr's men - and having
put four past Hugo Broos' men, they will get
20 million naira [$55,000].
Also, Akwa Ibom state governor Udoh
Emmanuel promised on Thursday to reward
them with $10,000 for each goal scored
against the reigning African champions and
that amounted to $40,000.
His promise came after he redeemed his
earlier $30,000 pledge for a 3-1 win over
Algeria which was inspired by Victor Moses'
brace and Mikel Obi's strike in November
2016.
Fortunately, goals from Odion Ighalo, John
Mikel Obi, Victor Moses plus Kelechi
Iheanacho on Friday mean the three-time
African kings will smile to the bank after
crushing the reigning African champions.
The victory keeps Nigeria on top of Group B
with nine points, opening a seven-point gap
over second-placed Cameroon before Algeria
and Zambia meet later on Saturday.
