Nigerian football icon and Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu has reportedly boosted the morale of his Enyimba squad with a generous cash reward ahead of their upcoming Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clash against Bayelsa United.

PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports According to a report from Daily Post, Kanu handed out a cash gift of 1 million naira (equivalent to over $645) to motivate his players. The gesture comes as Enyimba prepare to face Bayelsa United in Aba on Sunday for their Matchday 30 fixture in the NPFL. Speaking to the team, Kanu praised their resilience and urged them to maintain their momentum as they chase their objectives for the season. “You guys have shown great character in our recent matches and deserve to be rewarded. This is to motivate you for even more victories,” Kanu told the players. “I commend your fighting spirit to earn these positive results so far, and that’s why we must push for more until we reach our destination.” However, conflicting reports have emerged about the timing and purpose of the reward. Sources from Pulse Sports Nigeria suggest that the 1 million naira gift was not specifically for the upcoming Bayelsa United game but rather a debt owed for Enyimba’s performances in their previous outings against El Kanemi Warriors and Ikorodu City. The team secured a victory at home against El Kanemi Warriors before battling to a 2-2 draw against NPFL newcomers Ikorodu City in Lagos. Further details from Pulse Sports sources indicate that the cash will be split unevenly between the staff and players, with 30% allocated to the staff and 70% distributed among the squad. This revelation adds a layer of intrigue to Kanu’s motivational gesture, raising questions about the exact nature of the reward and its intended recipients. As the team gears up to face United, fans will be watching closely to see if Kanu’s influence can inspire yet another positive result. But for now, the full story behind the $645 reward remains a topic of speculation.
