partak Moscow striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has promised a $50,000 reward to the Super Eagles if the team qualifies for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Nigeria leads a qualifying group that includes Malawi, Kenya and Namibia with five points from three matches.


Emenike, who is out of next month’s World Cup qualifiers in Kenya and Namibia due to recent injury to his knee, said he has been a Super Eagles fan long before he debuted for Nigeria against Sierra Leone in 2011. “I promise the whole team $50,000 if we qualify for the World Cup in Brazil,” Emenike told MTNFootball.com “Like I said before that we have a team that can make this country proud, and I am doing this from the bottom of my heart just to motivate the team.


I am not doing this to intimidate anybody but just to show my total support to the team because I grew up supporting the Super Eagles.” He added: “I am really behind the team. I don’t want them to miss me because there are other players who can get them the goals. “Before I decided to play for Nigeria, even before I dreamt of becoming a professional footballer, which I am today by God’s grace, I have been a passionate fan of the Super Eagles.


“I could remember when I used to watch the team way back at the 1994 Nations Cup and World Cup, and I am speaking today as a Super Eagles player, it is a great honour. So the team means a lot to me and that is why I deem it fit to support the team in my little way. “I never knew I will play for Nigeria. This is a reward for what I have done in Europe and it is time I supported my country even more.”
