Algeria 2023: Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa tempts Golden Eaglets with pledge of N.5m per goal

Posted : 14 April 2023
Super Eagles’ captain, Ahmed Musa has promised the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria a tempting N5,000,000.00 for every goal scored at the U17 AFCON in Algeria.

Musa made the pledge when he paid a surprise visit to the camp of Nigeria’s U17 team, Golden Eaglets currently preparing for U-17 AFCON at ParkView Hotel in Abuja.

The Nigeria’s most capped international admonished the players to endeavour to maintain the rich culture of Nigeria football.

He also enjoined them to make a name for themselves and their families, adding that he regreted not ever playing for the U17 team in his football trajectory.

"You have to work hard. Listen and obey your coaches if you want to succeed at this stage of your football. 

``Sometimes, I regret that I never played for the Golden Eaglets. You have to make use of this opportunity. 

``You are not the best in Nigeria. Many players out there are better than you. The only difference is that you have the opportunity.

``So, you have to work hard. Pray a lot and be determined to make a name for Nigeria and also for yourselves and your families,'' he said.

Musa advised the players not miss the great opportunity given them to wear the national colours.

``I was only given five minutes in my debut game for the Super Eagles, but today I am the captain of the team. I never thought I would someday be the captain of the Super Eagles.

"I promise and I assure you that you will be rewarded with N5,000,000.00 for every goal scored at the U17 AFCON in Algeria next month. 

``Remember to always play as a team. If you are a defender, play with your mates, same for you that is a midfielder. Do not be selfish as a striker,'' he said.

Musa, who won his 109th cap for the Super Eagles in the 2023 AFCON 1-0 away win over Guinea Bissau in Bissau on Monday, added: “Promise me that you will make Nigerians proud. 

``Football is the only thing that unites our country. Whether you are a Muslim or a Christian does not matter in football. Winning is what Nigerians are looking forward to.

“So, go to Algeria, conquer and give Nigerians joy," he said.
