Mikel Obi Donates To Siasa, His Share Of Japanese Surgeon's Cash Gift by Ceoflexygist(op): 1:18am On Aug 22, 2016
Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel will, according to team’s sources, donate part of his share of the $390,000 awarded to the bronze winning Nigeria U-23 team at thae Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Katsuya Takasu, a Japanese surgeon made good his promise to reward the team for their bravery in Rio after they beat Honduras 3-2 for the bronze medal.

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.

The NFF and sports ministry should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of encouraging the guys, they want to hustle them. Nice one from Mikel.

I said it, this is a proof that Mikel seemed actually to have donated the $30,000 to save the team then. But only denied doing so to parry the media attention off him.

exactly, Nigeria is finished. See the way the NFF is jostling and struggling for a donation. No atom of civility and decorum in all areas of leadership in this country. Smh

If this so called NFF have an ounce of shame, they should have acted as if they didn't even know money was given to the Olympic football team.

You know it's not mandatory to post something, right?
