Days after Super Falcons embarrassed Nigeria by refusing to leave their hotel after using out in the Women Wold Cup, their male counterparts too have gone on strike.
Both are as a result of alleged unpaid bonuses/allowances, though the women footballers have returned home.
In the latest drama, Eagles are currently on strike in Egypt over unpaid allowances.
According to a BBC Sports Journalist, Sulaimon Folarin, the footballers who are in Egypt for AFCON2019, have refused to train today June 25th over their unpaid allowances.
He noted in a tweet that the footballers saidntheir bonuses for the 1-0 win over Burundi, which comes to $10k per player, had yet to be settled.
‘However, NFF President Amju Pinnick told newsmen in Egypt that they had the naira value of the bonuses to pay, which the players had refused to accept, because the official conversion rate to USD is lower than the open market rate, which means the players will lose money,’ a report also added.
