When the Super Eagles of Nigeria players protested and boycotted the next round games involving France, President Goodluck Jonathan approved the sum of $3.4million, which Dr Tammy Danagogo was to take to Brazil to let down frayed nerves of the players.

While the President was giving out the instructions, Globacom chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga, on the spot dropped $200,000(N39.8m), which made the full money $3.6million. The President was elated and thanked Adenuga for the gesture especially for always supporting sports in the country and especially the Super Eagles.

Afterward the World Cup money, a total sum of $8.4million was paid by FIFA to Nigeria, after deductions of expenses incurred by FIFA on the nation’s behalf. Sources told OrijoReporter that Dr. Tammy Danagogo had his eye on the money and fraudulently requested that the entire $3.6million be brought to him by cash for onward transmission to President Jonathan.

His crazy request was opposed by NFF chief Accounting officer, Musa Amadu, who insisted on having a formal order from the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick. Barrister Chris Green, who is from the same state with Danagogo was equally against the minister’s request and threatened to drag everyone involved to the EFCC if the monies were moved in cash.

After much ado, Amaju Pinnick was said to have handed over Adenuga’s money($200,000 about N39.8m) to Dr Danagogo. Trouble started in the Glass House over the money after a former FA boss(name withheld) called Chief Adenuga to thank him for the ‘loan’ which had been returned to him.
