The Super Eagles of Nigeria have put their bonus row behind them and will travel to Brasilia, ahead of their World Cup round of 16 game against France on Monday. This is coming after President Goodluck Jonathan intervened in the situation and assured the players that they would be paid their outstanding allowances. The president spoke on phone with the players, after Sports Minister Tamuno Danagogo informed him about the dispute.
 
The Super Eagles’ captain, Joseph Yobo confirmed this saying that the team will travel to Brasilia today.

The squad boycotted training on Thursday and were locked in discussions with officials over payment of their appearance fees by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
