The Super Eagles captain was promised this by the NFF president, Amaju Pinnick.
Musa achieved the milestone during the World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde on Tuesday.

Pinnick said:

“Ahmed Musa will get 10 million naira once he gets to Nigeria.
“As we are getting to Nigeria, I’ll call Air Peace and you’ll get that your money.
“I will ensure this because you have made me very proud, you have made the country very proud. The country needed this at this time.”
Musa made his debut for Nigeria at the age of 17 in August 2010, when he came on to replace John Mikel Obi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar.
