Billionaire businessman, Mike Adenuga has sent $250,000 to
the national team in Brazil to boost their morale to win their match against
France today. This was revealed by Minister for Sports and Chairman, National
Sports Commission (NSC) Dr. Tammy Danagogo. Danagogo, who presented the money
to the team, assured them that the Globacom boss promised to do more if the
team advances to the quarter-final stage.

will be boosted by the latest development even as President Goodluck Jonathan
promised that they will be paid their dues. The Nigerian business mogul was
quoted by Danagogo to have said that, “this is a token and if the team goes
ahead and shock the world, I will join Mr President to shock the team.”

excited players and official at the FIFA media briefing, promised Nigerians
that they will do all it takes to achieve victory. “It’s a great opportunity
for us and the weather will affect both sides but we hope to do what we have to
do to win the match,” he stated.
