Ndidi Super Eagles bonuses
Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has said he is ready to personally cover players’ bonuses if the Federal Government fails to fulfil its financial commitments to the national team. Ndidi made the statement while reacting to growing concerns over delayed payments, stressing that players should remain focused on their performance and not be distracted by off-field issues. He described the Super Eagles as a family and said unity and commitment must come before money.
Ndidi explained that representing Nigeria is an honour and that players often make sacrifices to wear the national colours. According to him, financial rewards are important, but they should not come at the cost of morale or team spirit. He said his comment was meant to motivate his teammates and reassure them that their efforts are valued, regardless of administrative challenges.
The Leicester City star also called on authorities to consistently support the national team, noting that timely payment of bonuses reflects respect for players’ hard work and dedication. He added that proper welfare would further encourage players to give their best whenever they are called up to serve the country.
Ndidi’s statement has sparked reactions among fans, with many praising his leadership and sense of responsibility. Supporters described his stance as a sign of maturity and commitment to the growth of Nigerian football, while also urging the government to meet its obligations and avoid placing such burdens on players.
