Enyimba FC Fires Back at Brown Ideye Over Welfare Claims: “He Was One of Our Highest Paid!”
Enyimba FC has broken its silence on accusations made by ex-Super Eagles star, Brown Ideye, who recently slammed the club for allegedly neglecting player welfare during his time on the team.
The Aba-based club labeled Ideye’s comments as “misleading and self-serving,” revealing that he was not only one of the best-paid players in the squad — earning ₦1 million monthly — but also received premium benefits, including ₦65,000-per-night hotel stays and air travel perks.
Ideye’s short stint, which followed a highly publicized move hailed as a win for Nigerian football, ended on a sour note. Despite the investment, he netted just five goals across all competitions, leaving fans and management disheartened.
“He was brought in to inspire and lead, but he never delivered,” said a club official. Insiders also allege his presence stirred friction within the squad, citing poor integration and commitment — factors that reportedly deterred other clubs from signing him earlier.
Under the leadership of football legend Kanu Nwankwo, Enyimba had hoped Ideye’s arrival would spark a new era. Instead, the fallout has raised fresh questions about player-club relations in Nigeria’s football scene.
