Mikel Obi Reveals How He Secured 2018 World Cup Bonus Through Private Plane Delivery

Former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi shared on a podcast how he ensured Nigerian players received their 2018 World Cup bonus by contacting President Buhari's office, leading to a private plane delivering the funds. Despite assurances, the money was not initially provided until Mikel intervened.

FIFA had released the bonus money meant to be shared among the players. Mikel's persistence in contacting late Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Buhari, led to the players finally receiving their overdue payments.
