Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Eddy Onazi signed a new improved 4-year deal at Italian Club SS Lazio yesterday.

The former El Kanemi Warriors player whose impressive performances at the last FIFA World Cup is believed to have contributed to the new deal is expected to earn him to €700,000 per season (from €350,000) according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Speaking through his twitter handle @OgenyiOnazi, the midfielder said, “I say a big thank you to God, my family, my team and my fans as I sign an extension to my contract” Onazi said.

This is slavery, I must say. This is like €18,000.00 per week. Is that players in the Italian league are lowly paid or what?

That is like N3.5m per week. Guy, park well! Where u see slavery for dia?

When someone like Mikel earns over £65K/week, thats over N18m weekly

chop triple "A" slang joor........................God bless your heart you just spoke my mind

I had always thought that onazi had a slavery contract with Lazio, the guy had better raised his game or else, i pity him o. A better performance by the entire Nigerian team at the world cup would have seen him moved to a better club now, instead they were all counting money overnight before the France game. I know he tried his best at the world cup but Nigerian players should begin to realize that only excellent performances in the National team can make them have better deals with clubs in Europe.

This explains why our so called top striker Emenike is playing in Turkey and will still have the audacity to report to camp late.

Though itz low,it. Shuld be noted dat italian league teams don't pay much to their players.
The last time I checked,Vidal was on 60-somtin thousand per week.
Errybody knws dat a player of Vidal's calibre won't take less than 150k in the English premier league.

Serie A doesn't pay as much as it used to...(The Salary Scale is at its lowest since 2009) The Good Old Days

Ashley Cole just moved to As Roma where he earns £35,000 a week compared to £150,000 he was receiving at Chelsea...
Plus thE Juventus team that pays Paul Pogba £23,000 has the best salary structure in The SeriE A

(The wages paid by QPR in the 12/13 season is only marginally less than that of Lazio & Fiorentina combined)

So,thats a fair pay for him i must say...

Lool •

So ?

No wonder mikel no wan leave chelsea

chicken change.

Footballers money no dey help mata for dis country...

Good for him. I hope he doesn't get too comfy with that, as he can do a lot better than 700k.

Good for him. But do not go same path wif the super eagles nursing midfielder who can't justify his weekly pay as a result of complacency.

Your salary could be someone's tithe.
Your tithe could as well be someone's salary.

PS: humility pays

Onazi playing pass obi. But obi collecting money pass onazi. Such is life.
