Gist4Today reports that, Senate
President, David Mark who led the
Federal Government delegation to the
World Cup in Brazil got a bit of the bitter
side of the Super Eagles player when
he tried to settle the rift between them
and NFF officials.
It was gathered that Mark held a
meeting with them before the Iran
match which ended 0-0, where the
players demanded the country's third
man, David Mark to pay them $2m
instantly from the $8m they were
expecting from FIFA for the first round
matches, since he was representing the
President.
The report said, Mark later got angry
when he couldn't settle the differences
and was shocked at the amount the
players requested for and the way they
responded to him.
Keshi later apologised to him when he
saw that the boys were rude to him, but
his apology was received half-
heartedly.
The FIFA money fight is a carry over
from their USA camp as they had put the
NFF on notice over the money before
agreeing to board the flight to Brazil.
It will also be recalled that the players
last year arrived in Brazil late for the
FIFA Confederations Cup after
embarking on a strike in Namibia over
the same thing, match bonus.
