Akwa Ibom businessman offers Super Eagles $20,000 per goal

Businessman, Aka Udofia has offered the Super Eagles the sum of $20,000 for every goal scored in Today's 2018 World Cup qualifier against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Yaounde.

Punch learnt that the businessman from Akwa Ibom State made the promise as he briefly greeted players and officials inside the chartered Arik Bombadier CRJ 1000 aircraft just before the team took off at the Akwa Ibom International Airport, Uyo.

“I am a very good friend of the Nigeria Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick, and I am happy that I am here in time to see you guys before take-off for Yaounde,” Udofia told the Eagles on Sunday.

“I watched the game against the Cameroonians on Friday and I am sure you have the ability to conquer them again in their own territory. I promise to reward you with $20,000 for every goal scored in Yaounde,” Udofia announced to the applause of players and officials.

Nigeria tops group B with 9 points and will automatically qualify for the World cup if we win today's match even though we still have two matches against Zambia and Algeria.
