This has led to an increase in the respect accorded to players in the league and also a rise in their earnings. 
Below, I now reveal the top 5 Nigeria league highest-paid player.
1 GODWIN OBAJE (₦1million)
Godwin Obaje
Godwin Obaje takes the top spot as Nigeria league highest-paid player with an annual earning of ₦1million.
He plays the role of a striker for Ifeanyi Ubah FC and he’s one of the top scorers in the league.
It was also reported that the player had sought to move to clubs abroad, however, his efforts had been futile which led him to settle in the Nigerian football league for good.
2 GAMBO MOHAMMED (₦850,000)
Gambo Mohammed
Mohammed is a talented footballer who plays for Kano Pillars FC in the Nigerian Football League and the Nigerian National Football Team.
Playing for these two teams should reflect in his earnings in one way or another, however, his appearances for the Super Eagles have not been consistent.

Mohammed is still able to earn a whopping sum of ₦850,000 every year while playing as a Center Forward for his club

3 Namso Edo (₦700,000)
Namso Edo
Namso is notably one of the best defenders in the Nigerian Football League with a terrific performance for his club Akwa United.
He is also one of the few footballers in the league to have graduated from the university.
Being a great defender should increase your market value and earnings which is why Namso receives a large sum of ₦700,000 per year.
4 Ikechukwu Ezenwa (₦600,000)
Ikechukwu ezenwa
Ezenwa is another footballer who plays for Ifeanyi Ubah FC and the only goalkeeper on my Nigeria league highest paid player list.
The goalkeeper has a professional football career which spans over 10 years.
He also features for the Super Eagles of Nigeria but plays majorly for his club.
Ezenwa is a reputable goalkeeper and one of the best in the Nigerian Football League, this makes it reasonable for him to earn a large sum due to his highly rated skills and techniques.
Ezenwa pockets a sum of ₦600,000 annually.
5 Anthony Okpotu (₦400,000)
Anthony Okpotu
Okpotu is one of the top players and highest goal scorers in the Nigerian Football League.
He has been nominated Striker of the Season and Player of the Year award several times due to his ability to deliver much-needed goals.
Okpotu who plays for Lobi Stars FC receives an annual wage of ₦400,000.
To wrap up, you should know that these players are mostly experienced players who have been playing in the league for some time.
It would be quite impossible to find a new player earning half of the amount listed above while playing in the Nigerian Football League
