Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel will donate part of his share of the $390,000 awarded to the bronze winning Nigeria U-23 team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

This comes after a Japanese surgeon rewarded the team for their bravery in Rio after they beat Honduras 3-2 for the bronze medal.
According to news reports,the Nigeria Football Federation and the Sports Ministry made their observations known by insisting that the money must be from a credible sources, but according to feelers from the camp of the Olympics Eagles, the NFF were only seeking for means of getting their hands on the money.
However, Takasu issued two Citibank cheques $200,000 in the name of coach Samson Siasia and $190,000 in the name of Mikel.

One of the team’s officials disclosed to Africafootball.com that the team vowed not to hand over the money to the NFF.
“Mikel has insisted all of us will get our share of the money. That we should not mind what the people in the NFF are saying. “He will make available this cash when he comes for next month’s AFCON qualifier against Tanzania in Uyo.”

A team meeting has already resolved that both players and officials will receive equal amount of the cash with Mikel himself agreeing to give part of his own share for the chief coach (Siasia) to get more than the rest of the squad. It was further gathered that the sharing formula agreed was a flat rate for the 22 players (18 accredited players and four alternate players) and 10 officials.

Oga it's Japanese not Chinese...

Na chicken change for him

Nice gesture by Mikel, Siasia deserves even better for he's the unsung hero of the team. Also not forgetting the fact that he's been treated unfairly by the NFF.

Speaking of which, i wonder when the NFF will ever get their acts right. Grew up to stories of them being constantly enmeshed in financial crisis and administration issues, the story hasn't changed today, still the same.

May God help us ooooooo.

NFF people should go hide their faces in shame....

its a relief to hear this...at least not everyone has this sense of humor
