DvNsports: CHAN: Super Eagles to get $100,000 bonus if they win Ghana

Nigeria's minister of sports, Bolaji Abdullahi has offered a bonus of $100,000 (16 million Naira) to the Super Eagles if they defeat Ghana in Wednesday's semi final of the African Nations Championship (CHAN).

With a similar incentive in their quarter final game, Nigeria came from a 3-0 first half deficit to defeat Morocco 4-3 after extra time in Cape Town on Saturday.

The Eagles are expected to be paid their last bonus earnings before Wednesday's clash against rivals the Black Stars.

Abdullahi told media that if "the boys qualify for the final and go ahead to win the trophy, they can be confident that a grateful nation will remember for a long time to come that they, with typical Nigerian grit and determination, have extended our dominance of African football."

Nigeria are the defending champions of the more prestigious Africa Cup of Nations and look set to win the CHAN, that is open to only players based in their country's domestic leagues, in their debut appearance at the competition.
