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.
Oga, they are most likely Fulani herdsmen.

Most kidnappings that occur on the highway or forests are done by Fulani. There is a long list of such incidents. Ask Olu Falae

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.
Come on! It smack of idiocy for you to use the pathetic relationship between you and your father - which means that both of you are small-minded - as a yardstick in quantifying others. Generalization is a sign of mental parochialism, desist from it. Personally, my beloved father of blessed memory remains to me the most conscientious human being I've ever come across. If he happens to turn to a God today I'll surely worship him both in the open and in secret.

How could police have rescued him when they paid ransom?
I Also Smell Something Fishy In The Whole Plot. Why Did The Police Show Up Immediately The Ransom Was Paid? And Why Did They Just Shoot Sporadically When They Got Close To The Kidnappers's Den If Not To Signal The Remaininig Guys That The Deal Was Done And The Coast Clear For Escape? I Suspect Some Form Of Complicity Btw D Police And Driver

He speaks with his mother regularly, but not with his father.
Hmmm, I wonder why. Maybe his mother poisoned him against his father? I'm sure that's the excuse some people will give, but fortunately his parents are still together, so why doesnt he communicate with his father? Did the man wrong him?, as obvioulsy he still communicates with his brothers, since one of them called him and he picked the call
Or is his father just saying that so that he will stop being a target?

So if you have kids who are getting married, the next best thing is to join them in getting married and also compete with them in child bearing....
why is that a bad thing? who made the rules? that a father can not get married if his son is married, you may see it as something bad but others may not, it is your opinion, doesn't mean everyone must Agree with you.

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.
Yeah,that seems to be a message to divert kidnappers thot away,at least Mikel sent the ransom of 10m.

Your head dey there. If they give the impression that Mikel cares then the kidnap will keep reoccurring.

Ignorance at its peak..they don't get any % from players wages...they make their cash from players moving from one club to another..they make so much..some have so many players they manage..browse it out and know how much they make per transfer and how many players they manage
Actually you are the ignorant one here. Agents make a percentage out of every single amount the player gets. It doesn't matter the type of agent: sports agent, movie agents, literary agents etc.

In the past, many agents exploited players by taking up to 30 percent. FIFA has reformed it and placed a cap at 5% now. In addition to the percentage, agents also earn a fee from transfers and contract renewals.

Don't get it twisted.
Herdsmen will not come to a metropolitan city and kidnap. The man you're seeing has lived in the north for a very long time, he knows what he's saying when he said specifically said they spoke only Hausa and pidgin, and didn't call them Hausa Fulani men.
If they were Hausa Fulani, he would definitely know from their speech, and he would say so.
The kidnap was definitely orchestrated by people that know him, and his movements. Definitely.
Many crimes are being committed these days because they will easily be blamed on herdsmen.
I really wish the bastards would be apprehended. Don't be surprised that the police is also complicit in all this.

Are u sure the papa no be the person wey dey arrange the first and last kidnap.
It must be his character and attitude towards their mom that caused the strained relationship.
They will soon deny he said that

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.
A bunch of bullshit. Since moving to china mikel makes over 100k pounds a week

Athletes go broke not because they don't make as much money as we think but they don't do money management

Mike Tyson made over 300 million dollars and is nowhere as rich as he was then because of money management. Holyfield made a lot but is damn broke today

Oga, no be only you hate them especially wit the crimes associated with them.

Back to the topic before I park well, we need analyse the little information provided very well. The kidnappers could be Igbos or Yoruba or other tribes but not ruling out the fact they could also be Hausa or Fulanis

Most Fulanis no even fit speak broken English.

Am I the only person who noted how the police showed up the instant ransome was paid?

The NPF was in on the entire operation and they took their share from the kidnappers shocked
Re: Michael Obi: Kidnappers Think Mikel Sends Millions To Me, Mikel Doesn't Call Me by Urchman200: 11:28am On Jul 21, 2018
The problem I have with all this players , they don't tend to forgive their father no matter what , which is very bad Mikel essien comes to mind , what did ur did to you, that makes it difficult for you to forgive him , that he didn't do to ur younger brothers , when God has taken u to a height u never expected, yet no room for 4giveness.
