simple, create an impression that they're not on speaking terms so as to discourage other would-be kidnappers

How would his son call him ! Nigerian men will cheat their wives for decades under the guise of man of the house , won’t show love to their kids , womanize with small girls that will disrespect them anyhow unlike the wife at home they would have frustrated nearly to death with “submission “ ! After all this - your wife hates you , your children can’t stand you - you will now be complaining bitterly !

Please don't blame Mikel some Father treat their sons like shit. My Friend's Father abused his first son for failing to get a job after university even though the Mum was the only one who supported him in school.

Even after he came home the Mum still supported him while he learned software, last year he got a very lucrative Job with SAP Germany.

Come see as papa was rejoicing about. As of now the Son in Germany hardly speak to him or even send him money. only through the Mum and the house he built for them. Mikel's dad could be one of those unsupportive types.

Guys are naturally closer to their mum than dad. I hardly pick up the phone to call my dad myself, I'd rather call my mum and ask after my dad, though he calls me from time to time and our conversations always goes thus:

Dad: How are you?
Me: Fine Sir
Dad: How is business?
Me: Fine Sir
Dad: When are you coming to see us?
Me : I don't know yet but I will try very soon.
Dad: Okay, bye.
Me: Thank you sir.

African fathers always tend to make themselves look like "Adolf Hitler" to their kids, these children grow op with the fear of their dads in mind. You can love your dad so much and provide his needs, but you can never have that close relationship with him like your mom.

Same with me, now the man is trying but it is too late. At times it gets akward when we are in the same room

Isn't this the same father that forced him to sign with Chelsea after committing to Man Utd? I heard he collected some money under the table for that deal. It may be why they're now estranged.

Reminds me when I made a comment and said.."Mikel is not doing us any favor by playing for the national team, he plays, he gets paid"
But some witchcraft bounced on me.
How can someone watch his father who raised him wallow in the kidnappers den while he goes to show his "skills" in Russia because of his love for Nigeria?

Some people were shouting... He is patriotic, he should be immortalised because someone he refused to call his father was kidnapped and he is scoring goalssss for Nigeria.

So much for patriotism

Ur name said it all.. That's all could pick from the write up... Yoruba /emir can Neva produce a good combination

Bro, Mikel isn’t that super rich like you think.
He made about 7-10 million pounds last year. Factor in the 45% tax rate which comes before you pay other bills such as mortgage, home owner tax and things like that. At the end of it all, Mikel is probably left with 1.5 - 2million per annum. That’s not a lot of money. They problem is that we convert this money to naira and think it can buy heaven on earth!!

The man said Mikel once said he picked up his phone to call his dad but something asked him not to. As an African, pa Mikel's village people have succeeded in turning his son against him. They don't have issues sef, but just lack communication. The old man should keep praying for him. God will break that york someday. His story is heartbreaking.

Una don start ...crying more than the bereaved . leave mikel and father to sort out their problem.

I personally think his dad is painting a kind of picture to discourage kidnappers from targeting him

Typical Nigerians don't judge Mikel without hearing his side of the story.

Nigerians think those big money they hear Mikel makes is his actual income. ..LOL. If you hear he makes 30000 pounds a week for example, divide it by 3, so 10000 pounds his all that he takes home after paying about 30-40 percent in taxes, 10% agent fee, mortgage, car, family and home expenses at least 10000 pounds a month. At the end of the month, I assure you Mike might have not more that 40000 pounds in the bank assuming no emergencies and family dramas. Out of the 40000 pounds, he takes another 20 - 30% to invest into his investments pretty sure he has some that requires operation costs. Now that he plays in China is the only time he gets to save money in taxes.

Have you wondered why most athletes go broke when they retire or stop working? Because they don't have much money as we think.
How you know all the details. Mikel has money and he his not doing well not calling or taking care of his dad.

I knew someone will say this. But he sent the money for the ransom. Don't judge when you don't know all involved.

Shay you've seen the husband and wife and pride threads.

The only thing I noticed is that he was kidnapped by Hausa speaking men who were most likely Fulani herdsmen

So, other tribes don't speak in Hausa Language abi?

You missed where he said "and broken English" too? If they were Hausas or Fulanis, I'm sure he would have said they have Hausa accent.

Let's condemn the act of kidnapping rather than trying being up tribal debates here.

Good psychology here, he needs to fly this so people won't follow the path of previous kidnappers. Been kidnapped twice is too much na.

It could be true,he doesn't call him,for reasons best known to him,but for sure he sends him money.

If Mikel's dad has been unsupportive as you've just put it, Mikel won't have had any reason to even talk to him. Did you ask yourself why it started just 5yrs ago? How long has Mikel been abroad? From his story, they had a good relationship. The man is doing well for himself too and does not depend on Mikel's wealth. There's more to this than meets the eye.

Only stupid children fear their father. If you behave well and Iisten your father he'll be very close to you and tell you a lot of confidential things and even the family history but if your only concern is to play computer games and football your father is likely to fall out with you.
Then if you make it by chance you hold grudges as if 0.01percent of Nigerian children made it through football. Issa orite kontinu, your children go pay you back in the same coin.

"stupid child like yourself" only stupid pple like yourself don't have an atom of respect for other pple's opinion without resulting to insulting them... what do u even expect the father to say? Do u want him to agree that he is being sent 50 million every week so that the kidnappers will keep kidnapping him frequently... he made it clear that immediately Mikel was contacted he released money for the ransom to be paid... i think the father is only trying to get the kidnappers & the intending ones off his back by claming Mikel doesn't call him... lest i forget, Mikel was still the one that helped set up that transportation business for his father
