**“Pay Me and the Players” – Ideye

In his post, Ideye wrote:

“Because I get money, I should not ask for the one I worked for? Please pay me and the players last season’s match bonuses. @EnyimbaFC, the season ended in May, till now nothing. Next season will start next month.”

The 35-year-old striker, who previously played in top European leagues, emphasized that financial stability for players is crucial, regardless of their personal wealth.
N7,000 Daily Meal Allowance Revelation

This call-out comes just days after Ideye revealed that Enyimba FC paid players only ₦7,000 per day for meals throughout the 2024/2025 NPFL campaign, a revelation that sparked outrage among fans and football stakeholders.

Enyimba FC, one of Nigeria’s most successful clubs, is yet to officially respond to the allegations as of press time.

That's the Nigerian situation, Nigerian clubs are not getting profit, that's why most are being run by the government which is only draining their purse. I think the 7k is daily feeding bonus and not part of their salary, but I don't know sha

Jeez, just look at how this country keeps embarrassing itself to the world, African giant my foot, more like African rat.

But don't be surprised to see some morons supporting the club and it's administrators, if people can defend failures like our leaders present and past even if their lives are destroyed, I won't be surprised one bit

VHILL:
This is very embarrassing. That's why I am the opinion that technocrats should handle football business and not one who just feels like knowing the game.
