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 Africafootball.com,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.
