He said that he would be going to the World Cup to contribute his little quota to the success of the national team.
“As the Nigeria Pillar of Sports, I want to contribute my little quota to energising the team.
“In this regard, each goal scored by the Super Eagles at the World Cup in Brazil will attract 1,000 dollars.
