Former Super Eagles Striker, Ideye Calls Out Enyimba FC Over Unpaid Bonuses by alphonsojaybaz(op): 7:50am On Jul 24, 2025
Former Super Eagles striker, Brown Ideye, has publicly called out Enyimba FC over alleged unpaid match bonuses from the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

The ex-international, who currently plays for the Aba-based club, took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to express his frustration, claiming that both he and his teammates have not been paid since the end of last season. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
**“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.

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.

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

One of the problems of the league. Most football lovers prefer to sit in front their TVs and watch 'better' football.

We should do better. I am so happy when these ex stars come back to play for our local league.

we should encourage them.

More so the government should ask some big companies to support these clubs, they may as well grant some tax relief for them.

We just need to improve the local league to a point where it can sustain itself

They are following the template of ebilokan's Lagos master plan of 26 years- increase revenue but do nothing for the people.

Nigeria: Pensioners Urge Tinubu to Pay Arrears

26 March 2003
This Day (Lagos)


Lagos — Pension teachers in Lagos State under the aegis of Teacher Pensioners of Nigeria (TEPAN) have urged Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to review his stance on paying the harmonised three year old outstanding pension allowance or risk losing their votes.

In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of TEPAN, Mr. Ayodabo 'Lade, accused Tinubu of failing to pay the arrears to teachers on their correct pension grade since the year 2000, contrary to what was obtainable in other five States of the South-west controlled by the Alliance for Democracy (AD).

Make we dey hear word jor, we know football is a big business but that's in Europe not Nigeria. He only complain of match bonuses, but their monthly salaries are been paid and daily allowance of 7k is enough by Nigeria standard. He should ask Ahmed Musa, he is playing for Kano Pillars for free.

How much advocacy are you doing for your home team to be privatised like Remo Stars?

Are you also advocating for the league itself to be privatised like the oyinbo neocolonialist ones we follow with our money and emotions huh
Re: Former Super Eagles Striker, Ideye Calls Out Enyimba FC Over Unpaid Bonuses by Kalulu44: 8:38am On Jul 24, 2025
I want must of you to understand what he's saying here. He didn't say they were been owed monthly salary or even daily allowance but match bonuses which is for matches won.
This is Nigeria and not Europe where football is a money spinner.
I wasn't expecting Ideye to be the one complaining, instead the local boys. And to some of you who said the 7k daily is too small should look at it this way. 7k daily is different from their monthly salary which is 300k and above. So if their salaries and daily allowance are been paid. I don't think match bonuses should be a thing of worry especially to someone like Ideye who's already made.
Ahmed plays for free for Kano Pillars before he was appointed GM of the club.
I'm not saying they don't deserve their match bonuses o, but I wasn't expecting the complain from Ideye. My humble opinion
