Musa was due to receive N10million after his supposed 100th cap for the national team, after playing in the 2-1 win over Cape Verde.<\/p>\n

In rewarding the milestone, the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick disclosed the federation will begin to reward every player who reaches the centurion mark.<\/p>\n

Immediately after Pinnick\u2019s comment, Musa gave out half of his reward to his teammates as he thanked them for their support.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really appreciate the gift, Mr. President and on behalf of my family, I will say thank you very much to everyone and for the coach, I really appreciate what you\u2019ve been doing for me. You have made me who I am today and I thank you very much.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for my teammates, I don\u2019t have anything to say and for the 10m, I\u2019m giving out 5 million naira to the team,\u201d Musa said.<\/p>\n

FIFA has since reduced the 28-year-old\u2019s caps to 98, a stance the NFF has agreed with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
