Super Eagles players reportedly missed a scheduled training session yesterday after a disagreement with officials of the National Football Federation over bonus money.
BBC Sports reports that the players believe they are each $ 15,000 (£8,800) short of what they were expecting for reaching the last 16 in Brazil.
The players refused to train in Campinas on Thursday and NFF officials later confirmed the session had been cancelled.
BBC Sport has learned the problem lies in the interpretation of the bonus structure, with the players believing they will only receive $ 10,000 for their win 1-0 over Bosnia-Hercegovina and $ 5,000 for the 0-0 draw with Iran.
The players’ understanding was they would receive a $ 30,000 payment for qualifying from the group.
However, it is believed the Nigerian Football Federation’s offer to the players includes the agreed win and draw bonuses plus 30% of the prize money due from Fifa for reaching the knockout stage.
