Nigerian footballer, Dickson Nwakaeme; a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Pahang FA in Malaysia Super League shared his experience how former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, asked him to pay bribe.

Yesterday, David Alaba, Bayern Munich star, accused coaches of the Golden Eaglets of denying him the opportunity to join the Nigerian squad at the 2007 FIFA World Cup in South Korea because he refused to pay bribe.

He wrrote: 'The way Siasia ask me to pay for Beijing 2008. So sad. They’re killing our football and talents'.

This is not a surprise news in Nigeria. The bribery scheme has killed the real talent hunt in the jungle called Nigeria. The current results of teams in every level of the competition both male and female will attest to these allegation. Sometimes one wonders why good players are left out of a team for important engagements.

Ghen ghen ghen....

Fantastically corrupt people in all spheres...

;Days

Who is Dickson abi Dickhead?

These bribe of a thing applies almost in all sector is now like a norm..Thats Nigeria for y'all.. If you don't av 'long leg' b ready to pay bribe. There was a country

Check my signature, get your electronics, SMART TVs, air conditioners, washing machines and sound bars at affordable rate,payment on delivery, BUY4ME services available too with POD option

Who knows if he was the one that offered Siasia a bribe and they went into negotiations

Like I said earlier, the average Nigerian have the mentality that they need to pay something to get something and if the person is not collecting something they may even be suspicious of him not doing the job.

What a shocker!

Oh puh-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeease ! This is not news nah
He should have said it then. why speak now after some years have gone by ?

Siasia is a known bribe taker

how will he now defend himself.

Even Anus Adamu was caught on tape taking bribes. But Siasia is an highly respected man. I doubt if this guy fit pay am

There is no sane government department in this country

it's happens..

It is so pathetic . corruption everywhere

Rubbish

This Nwakaeme that nobody has ever heard of as a footballer could not have been able to make a team that had the likes Osaze, Anichebe, etc playing in top leagues qq

I believe the story 100% See the Alaba story, see the current Flying Eagles team, see how Adrian Akande was asked to dump England and then not even given a cap. I pray we never ever employ a home base coach for the Super Eagles again.

When?

Bribe is the in thing in nigeria

what a shame!

He who accuses must first prove....

Am shocked that most nigerians would believe a random guy without any substantial evidence!

No wonder some people would believe any trash that comes out of that social media loud mouth!

bloggers and nairaland mods can't proofread better posting...lazy ppl

This is why Atlanta 1996 Olympics may be our last major victory in football.
