Musa achieved the milestone during the World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The former Leicester City winger started the game, which the Eagles went on to win 2-1 in Mindelo.<\/p>\n

Following the win at the Est\u00e1dio Municipal Ad\u00e9rito Sena in Mindelo, Pinnick said: \u201cThe NFF will give Ahmed Musa N10 million for reaching the 100 caps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will sustain this gesture and honour our players that hit 100 games henceforth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musa made his debut for Nigeria at the age of 17 in August 2010.<\/p>\n

He came on to replace John Mikel Obi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar.<\/p>\n

Musa becomes the third player to reach 100 caps for Nigeria after Joseph Yobo and Vincent Enyeama.<\/p>\n
