Were Super Eagles Players Rude To David Mark?

Okay oh, the boys are grown and now talking. Punch reports
that, Senate President, David Mark who led the Federal Government delegation to
the World Cup in Brazil got a bit of the bitter side of the Super Eagles player when he tried to
settle the rift between them and NFF officials.

It was gathered that Mark held a meeting with them before
the Iran match which ended 0-0, where the players demanded the country’s third man, David Mark to pay them $2m instantly from the $8m they were
expecting from FIFA for the first round matches, since he was representing the
President.

The report said, Mark later got angry when he couldn’t
settle the differences and was shocked at the amount the players requested for
and the way they responded to him.

Keshi later apologised to him when he saw that the boys
were rude to him, but his apology was received half-heartedly.

The FIFA money fight is a carry over from their USA camp as
they had put the NFF on notice over the money before agreeing to board the
flight to Brazil.

It will also be recalled that the players last year arrived
in Brazil late for the FIFA Confederations Cup after embarking on a strike in
Namibia over the same thing, match bonus.
