Nigeria Super Eagles stars set to receive $1m bonus for Nations Cup win

Africa's wealthiest businessman Aliko Dangote is set to fulfil his promise to reward Nigeria's team with $1m for winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. 

After a public appeal by Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama, it seems Dangote is about to come good.

  "We've been waiting for Nigerian officials to collect the money but nobody has written to us. He said

"We will write to them, asking for the account numbers of the players, then we'll make the transfer immediately."

Dangote, who is group president and chief executive officer of the Dangote Group, is reputed to be Africa's richest man.

Earlier this month he became the first African to be listed in the top 25 of Forbes magazine's annual ranking of global billionaires, with a net worth of $25bn.
