CorrectNG reported earlier that Frank Onyeka said footballers do not get paid weekly wages as widely believed.
The Nigeria International said players usually receive their pay in form of salary at the end of the each month as against every week.
Onyeka made this known during an interview on Clout Africa’s ‘Reach Out’ podcast, noting that there were different stories they were told about how they receive remuneration.
He said most of the rumours are not true as what happens is that management calculates the amount each footballer is supposed to receive weekly and pays them the total sum when month ends.
“We dey chill before we go see alert, no be true say na every Friday. Na different story you go dey hear oh, they go tell you say you go dey collect money every week. Them fit dey pay you every week, but you no dey collect am every week, you go dey collect am monthly,” he said.
