Super Eagles star Ogenyi Onazi has thrown his weight behind protesting African champions Super Falcons by donating a million Naira to them.
National Daily gathered that source close to the team revealed the Trabzonspor of Turkey midfielder showed concern about the ladies plight.
“Onazi is a fantastic man and supported the Falcons with the sum of one million Naira, that really helped the ladies,” a source reported.
“He also gave one of the injured players 200,000 Naira for her treatment.
