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.

Only stupid children fear their father. If you behave well and Iisten to 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.

Cc no be me talkam o na God talkam oo!
Whatever you measure with so shall be done onto you.

The man unknowingly exposed his "other son, Ebele, who is the goalkeeper for Heartlands of Owerri" to danger of being kidnapped.

False generalisation. How many "African Dads" out of all the 100s of millions of them have you interviewed.

Na arrangee interview be this

Mikel doesn't want his dad to kidnapped again so they have to arrange for this interview so that people will think that he isn't throwing money to the Dad as we thought

Simple logic

benben1000:
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.

Agents don't get 10% from every weekly wages.Agents get a cut from transfers and that's why they are always unsettling their players to move

Nonsense...Same way your children will treat u

Mikel not speaking with his Dad for so long is bad, but sometimes Africans who tend to have one sibling doing much better than the rest expect that sibling to be throwing round money unreasonable, thinking that 'shebi the money is there' not knowing that the person has to plan for the future and not live for the moment.
They don't understand the struggle it takes to make the money.

I fully agree with the sense of entitlement part, but it should not affect the father. The father and mother are the least anyone should take care of and be in very good terms with.

odi1278:
I don't really get why mikel won't speak with his dad. Hopefully they sort out the issues. No wonder Mikel was still able to play as he doesn't have much feelings for his dad.

I hope they sort it out. Really I do. But there are just fights between a father and his son(s) that takes a lot to fix, doesnt mean the feeling is dead - afterall, he paid the ransome. I hope they fix it before it is too late.

B

If i hear, u think say d man go tell the world the truth make una go kidnap join, that man is a motor boy before mikel made it, he own one of the best luxurious bus in Plateau state mikel even built a plaza for his mother so abeg make una forget the news he took care of his nuclear family.

Maybe he's the one kidnapping himself? I mean, look how many times this man has been kidnapped and released. Do you know Mikel has so much money and connection to find out the truth?

The driver should be properly interrogated about this.It is also obvious that the kidnappers trailed them from Jos and do have an inside information.

shine12:

They do. They get 10% from all salary of their client. Pretty standard. Transfers are one in a 5 yrs deal...so you want hunger to kill your agent if you have no transfer in 10yrs? Lol...kokikiki.

How could police have rescued him when they paid ransom?

coluka:

Since he has now told them that it's his mother he talks to, I guess the kidnapper's attention will now be diverted to her

Abi? make them kidnap her too make she see as e be
I weak for naija

So you expect the man to say he and mikel are very close? So that more kidnappers will target the old man.
Dont play yourself

benben1000:

So if you are in London you'll be spending 10000 pounds every week because you can afford it?
Pls kontinu.

I thought police said they rescued him

Baba ur pikin na don, money no be em problem

Oga, stop trying hard to justify yourself. Just change already. Your kids ar watching.

Where did I say a week? I said a month. This is how you failed WAEC. SMH

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

BUHARImyDOG:
THE IDIOTIC MIKEL DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT HIS FATHER

Don't judge yet, sometimes it might be the way he was brought up.

mechie onu there, if you give a black person the whole lagos as agift it will still not be enough him or her ,george clooney invited 14 of childhood friends and gave each one one them 1 million dollars each i hope you know what 14 million dollars am talking of 5 billion naira ,mikel girl friend is from a every rich family the other day mikel dads brother was in hospital looking for help while mikel there ,pls pls mikel is rich enough to help anybody he want to help

Pls may I ask a question because I have noticed this of high proportion between my people from the East when they make money their father is always their enemy or the looser only their mother take all, pls why

It's a shock to hear this from.mikel father so even his father has not seen mikel kids? This is unbelievable I'm a bit disappointed no matter what the father did wrong mikel action don't worth it.

It's very unfortunate I have heard another player from.the region case is even worst than this that he will come home from abroad and never sit with his dad tankless of talking to him simply because the man want him to be a lawyer but chose football as career.

My joy is that the Bloody useless Tufiakwa fools on NL who turns every thing to tribal hate when news like this face Yoruba or Edo or Hausa direction but now see our own hero from the East is a bloody bollock that has no love for his father and his kids ain't see his own father what a shame.

Pls don't come here to give excuses. This is no excuse situation. Not even a phone call to his father I swear Mikel mum did a very bad job very bad indeed I blame Mikel mum and this boy called mikel was going around with his girlfriend mum, dad, family, dogs and even gate man but his own father a outcast,nice one.

Even in a month. Pounds no be naira o. Unless you decides to go clubbing everyday which is not likely for an active footballer unless he wants to retire prematurely.
A salary of 120k p.a. in Britain is a very good salary.
And for you insult go back and read what you wrote and see if you really passed primary six if you cannot retain what purported ly came out of your brain.
