John Mikel Obi's Father Rubbish FG For Not Recognizing Dream Team IV


John Mikel Obi’s Father Slams FG – The Dream Team IV gave Nigeria it’s only medal at the Rio 2016 Olympics, and the father of team captain John Mikel Obi isn’t happy with how the team was treated.
The government failed to officially recognize the team, with most players having returned to their club sides straight from Brazil.

“I was surprised to read that there are no plans to receive the team. It is very unfair, especially after the team won the only medal at the Games,” Pa Micheal Obi was quoted as saying in a recent interview.
“The least they had expected was a hero’s  welcome and a presidential handshake to appreciate their superlative performance, especially when nobody had expected that they would go far  at the Games.
“I had expected Mikel to lead the team back to Nigeria, accorded a befitting reception, before going  back to their various clubs.

“This is want an appreciate sports authorities and the Federal Government would have done. We are all aware of the shoddy preparations for the Games and how they were stranded in another country before they got to the venue, a few hours to the start of their first game against Japan. Despite this, they struggled to make the country proud and if this is all they could get for their efforts, I think it’s very unfortunate.”
