Nigeria's Super Eagles are off to Kigali to continue their road to AFCON 2025, but NFF has been blasted for lack of security for the players.
He asked the Nottingham Forest player to hand over £100 and to make his request more appealing, he revealed that he skipped hurdles to watch the U-17 World Cup in which Awoniyi featured.
What Boniface said
Boniface teased the Tricky Trees striker in the video making the rounds on the internet, asking him to send him money. Awoniyi replied by teasing Boniface as well, telling him he is an accomplished striker associated with the Bundesliga.
Boniface then proceeded to narrate a funny story, telling Awoniyi that he was sent on an errand to buy seasoning while Nigeria were playing the 2013 U-17 World Cup final against Mexico.
Awoniyi played seven games in the tournament in the UAE; he scored four goals. Boniface, who is currently 23, was aged 12 at the time.
