The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has triggered another row over bonuses with the way they paid bonuses of the senior national team of Nigeria after the wins in the World Cup qualifiers games against Liberia and Cape Verde respectively.
We gathered the team were paid their bonus for both games but some backroom staff were not captured in the payments and it includes all but two of the assistants of coach of the team Gernot Rohr.
Only the duo of Alloy Agu and Joseph Yobo got their bonus from the games as other assistants of the German coach were told the NFF don’t have funds. Infact they were in the dark about the payment until they were told by one of the players and upon asking Rohr he confirmed it .
The situation has left Rohr angry and he is helpless owing to the fact that he also has an axe to grind with the NFF with his salary in Naira amounting to almost nothing when converted into dollars due to the fall in Nigeria’s exchange rates.
Rohr’s assistant could boycott the upcoming back to back games against Central Africa Republic as they feel they weren’t properly treated by the football house after the last round of games.
