“Because I get money, I should not ask for the one I worked for? Please pay me and the players last season’s match bonuses. @EnyimbaFC, the season ended in May, till now nothing. Next season will start next month.”
The 35-year-old striker, who previously played in top European leagues, emphasized that financial stability for players is crucial, regardless of their personal wealth.

This call-out comes just days after Ideye revealed that Enyimba FC paid players only ₦7,000 per day for meals throughout the 2024/2025 NPFL campaign, a revelation that sparked outrage among fans and football stakeholders.
Enyimba FC, one of Nigeria’s most successful clubs, is yet to officially respond to the allegations as of press time.
