Billionaire business man Aliko Dangote says he is set to redeem his promise of awarding $1m to the Super Eagles for winning the 2013 African Cup of Nations a year ago in South Africa. He explained this a couple of days after goal keeper and Super Eagles vice-captain Vincent Enyeama begged him and other individuals who pledged various items to the team to fulfill their promises....
"We understand the busy schedule of Alhaji Dangote, we are just asking his aides to help remind him of the promise to us. It’s just a reminder to patriots who are very busy and may not have been prompted after they made their pledges, because the players are determined to bring more honours to fatherland at the forthcoming World Cup” Enyeama saidSpeaking with BBC Sports, Dangote said the only reason he hasn't redeemed his promise was because nobody from the team or NFF had contacted him
"We’ve been waiting for Nigerian officials to collect the money but nobody has written to us. We will write to them, asking for the account numbers of the players, then we’ll make the transfer immediately.”
