You probably missed my last post.

I didn't. I am asking whether the Delta flight was free or not. Whether Mikel paid, or NFF paid is a separate issue.

See my post above your from a quote from Bunmi where Delta indicates that payment would be handled later.

Quoting Bunmi Jinadu... Next thing, I got a call from Delta Airline’s Leadership team stating they were looking for a plane but no promises yet. They then called back and said they found a plane that would leave at 8.00am and be in Manaus at 2.00 pm (five hours before their game) and that the plane ...

Why was there a "Delta bill" to balance if the flight was free? Mikel did not pay for the flight. He paid accommodation and feeding for some of the days they overstayed in Atlanta while waiting for the flights to be sorted out. And Yemi’s money was not picketed. They used it to balance som...

It is not a quote. Its a statement that backs up the initial statement that the Delta temporarily picked up the tab. Watch the video below and hear the facts from the organiser of the trip. Yea I listened to him this morning, and his story has inconsistencies that made me question the veracity of w...

Did you miss the following in the same article? Delta has not only footed the check for a private charter flight for the team from Atlanta to Manaus, but the airline also has put the team up in a hotel for the night in Atlanta. At least we can now conclude that Mikel did not pay for the plane that ...

I have no clue bro. I am assuming the Nigerian govt or NFF did, but who knows. You can't ignore such a large part of the equation and assume the people who initially contributed to the mess would just happily pony up the cash. If they were not involved in securing the plane, I doubt they'd be liabl...

I meant, we still don't know if Mikel covered any shortfall for the flight that actually took them to Brazil. According to the article, the money sent to the agent by the NOC was reportedly insufficient to cover the hotel fees and flight. So, someone must have come up with funds to cover the shortf...

I see how people are trying to work to the answer. The Delta plane was not paid for by anyone. Maybe the press can get Mikel to tell them which plane he paid for and who he paid. He should have a receipt for $300,000 or his card statement. Are you certain about this? Thanks to a tab temporarily pic...

I simply don't believe that the Nigerian sports minister and NOC were unaware that the Nigerian football contingent representing the country at the Olympics was in Atlanta, preparing for the competition. Even if it's true that they didn't know, then it was a MASSIVE dereliction of duty! At the end ...

Exposed: The untold story of Siasia, NFF, Yemi Idowu and U23 Dream Team Solomon Dalung, Amaju Pinnick, Samson Siasia & the U23 Team Nigeria’s under-23 Olympic football team made international headlines few days ago for the wrong reasons after stories emerged of how the team was ‘stranded’ in At...

Correction. Yemi Idowu paid for a smaller plane which Mikel and some others rejected because it was too small. Then Delta got involved and gave them a bigger plane for free. So the trip Atlanta was arranged and “sponsored” by a guy named Bunmi Jinadu. He hoped to make money from a friendly match ag...

By being vague, you're adding to the confusion. What I'm getting from what has been posted is that when the news broke that they were stranded, Delta Airlines offered to fly them for free to Brazil. It appears that before that flight was arranged, Yemi Idowu provided $250,000, which was then used t...

Good for him. A world class striker has no business in Saudi at this stage of his career.

Hmm nah wah for these Jamaicans oh. What kind of Cameroonian jambodi football is dis?
