Fashanu: Otto Gloria asked me for a bribe

[cic old boy]

I call lies. 1.5m naira in the early 80s??? Impossible!

[Lolly]

E don tey

Fashanu is a complete joker. This man talks a lot of utter nonsense. 1m naira then was the equivalent of approx $1m. They guy is clearly insane

[waka-man]

It’s more likely The Bash offered Otto Gloria a bribe and was rebuffed.
Dodgy dude.

Oyibo pipul no dey ask for bribe, they ask for facilitation fee na.

It's absurd, that was about $3 million back then! Odegbami called Fashanu's allegations a blatant lie!

[The YeyeMan]

Fash is routinely full of crap.

Has anyone even bothered to verify that the voice in the video is Fashanu’s


Cheers.

Udemuzwue (sp) was the coach when Fash was in the Eagles camp. That can't be true. Tori get K leg.

...can the family of Otto Gloria sue for defamation?

[furiously frank]

He was a nonentity when Otto Gloria won the Nations cup. His brother was renown. I think he missed up the coach in question. Udumezue most likely even then, I doubt he would have asked for bribe..not buying this at all.

Either Fashanu is a compulsive liar as his stories never seem to add up or journalists in Nigeria have a license to make fictional stories using his name.

1.5 million naira in the 80s oboy this no make sense, in 1980 about 55kobo was about $1.00

1980 $1 = N0.550 (0.900 Black Market Rate)

1981 $1 = N0.61

1982 $1 = N0.673

1983 $1 = N0.724

1984 $1 = N0.765

1985 $1 = N0.894 (N1.70 Black Market Rate)

I was just about to go down this perspective. The naira was stronger than the pound though thought to be overvalued at the time. Can't imagine Udemezwe, a man of high integrity would have asked Fash for money. Then again, what do I know?

Fash is routinely full of crap.

You're damn right ! I met him once at his father's house in Ibadan....He's full of fabus. I was very close to his late half-brother (Akin Fashanu).

Maybe this was when Otto Gloria went back to Porto or wherever he was coaching in Portugal as their paths never crossed at The Eagles. Otto coached the Green Eagles while Fash turned up to watch Super Eagles training.

This fashanu guy is full of $#% and he always shitting crap
