Super Eagles legend Brown Ideye has sparked a wave of controversy after revealing that players at Enyimba FC were paid a paltry ₦7,000 per day for meals during the 2024–25 season. The bombshell disclosure has gone viral across social media, with passionate fans and critics alike questioning the club’s management and commitment to player welfare.

According to a post shared by PoojaMedia on X (formerly Twitter), Ideye, who returned to Enyimba during their continental campaign, stated plainly that players were only given ₦7,000 per day for feeding throughout the season. The revelation, confirmed by another user @DAMIADENUGA, underscores what many are calling a disturbing lack of investment in the team’s wellbeing.

“Brown Ideye, Super Eagles legend says they were paid N7000 per day for feeding in 2025 at Enyimba last season.”

The figure has triggered an outcry among football fans, many of whom expressed immediate shock over the revelation. One fan remarked, “₦7,000 isn’t even enough for one good meal in some parts of Aba,” highlighting the disparity between expectations and reality in professional football.

Enyimba, Nigeria’s most successful club on the continent, has not issued a statement regarding the claim. However, the temperature is rising as many now demand clarity and accountability from the club’s leadership.

This episode adds to growing concerns about the NPFL’s infrastructure and funding, reinforcing perceptions that even star-studded teams struggle to provide basic necessities for their players. Analysts warn that such neglect may impact player performance, morale, and the domestic league’s reputation.

As the discussion intensifies, all eyes will be on Enyimba’s response—and whether its management will address these serious allegations or leave fans and players without answers.
