The Super Eagles of Nigeria are N900m Richer

Victorious Super Eagles have so far cashed in over N900 million (about $5.6 million) as gifts for winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.

A compilation of the monetary gifts showered on the team after the victorious outing at the Nations Cup showed that telecommunications tycoon, Michael Adenuga has so far made the biggest single donation to the African champions when he redeemed his $1m promise to the team soon after they were received by President Goodluck Jonathan on arrival from South Africa.

MTNFootball.com reports that Emeka Ofor and three other top business captains each gave out $500,000, which comes to another $2 million.

Minnows Burkina Faso have never reached a final before, while Nigeria, driven on by Chelsea's Victor Moses, were twice winners of the competition before Tonights Victory.
