The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has insisted that they will not back down, in their decision to reduce the winning bonus of the Super Eagles.<\/p>\n

The national team arrived late in Brazil for the Confederations Cup, after delays due to protests over slashed bonuses and subsequently, missed flights.<\/p>\n

The NFF now pays the squad members $ 5,000 half of what they used to receive and the general secretary Musa Amadu, says there won\u2019t be any going back, because of their financial situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven at $ 5,000, the Super Eagles remain among the best-paid national teams in Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a decision of the NFF executive committee, taken after thorough deliberation, and we cannot go back on it no matter the amount of blackmail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NFF have gone to great lengths to explain the situation that we have found ourselves and we expect those who should have an understanding of this matter to give dispassionate opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
