Confederations Cup-bound Nigeria have refused to take a $2500-a-man bonus for Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Namibia in Windhoek and have instead demanded double the amount, according to officials.
.
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Aminu Maigari met the team on Wednesday night in Windhoek to explain to them that the organisation is broke and so the drastic cuts in their expenditure.
.
Last week, local media reported there was a players' revolt in Kenya over the bonus when the Super Eagles beat the home team 1-0 in another 2014 World Cup qualifier.
.
The players wanted to be paid $10,000 each for the win in Nairobi but several officials rejected the claims.
.
The cash-strapped NFF have been forced to cut back on backroom staff of the various national teams, including the Super Eagles, after an expensive Africa Cup of Nations campaign in South Africa.
.
They had even considered pulling out of the 2014 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) for players in the local league because of poor finances before a change of heart.
.
The African champions were due to fly out of Windhoek to Johannesburg on Thursday bound for Sao Paulo.
.
They will then fly to Belo Horizonte, venue of their opening match of the Confederations Cup against Tahiti on Monday.
