Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has decided to donate his share of the $390,000 awarded to the bronze winning Nigeria U-23 team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, by Japanese billionaire, Katsuya Takasu.

A team meeting has already resolved that the $390k will be shared equally among all the 22 players and 10 officials, with Mikel agreeing to give part of his own share to Siasia.

Commendable move by Mikel and big congrats again to the dream team for completing the full medal sweep.

That because he is bigger than the money, and he makes triple of his share of the money at his clubside, anyways kudos to Mikel, we really saw his leadership side at this olympics.
