“I read about the financial problems affecting the team and I felt the need to make a big contribution.

“I am not doing this for media attention but to motivate a team with an indomitable spirit. I fell in love with the Nigerian team because despite all these problems they are in the quarter-finals of the Olympics.

“Whether they win or not, I will still donate something to help alleviate the challenges in paying their bonuses and allowances,” Takasu said.The Nigeria Football Federation vice-presiden Seyi Akinwunmi said that the footballing body was impressed with Takasu’s kind gesture but stated that the team will not get carried away.

“I have been in direct contact with Mr Takasu and impressed by his gesture, but we need not get carried away because the integrity of the country is at stake.

“First we must check about this. Significantly, the team has an important game and we need to focus on that,” Akinwunmi said

Recall that the Dream Team were held up in Atlanta for financial reasons and also arrived Brazil six hours before the game against Japan where they managed to scrape through by 5-4 in their opening match.

Speaking with CNN about his invention achieving two out of his three goals – of land and sea travel – Kehinde said: “I tested it in the sea and a lot of people were surprised it can move on the land and sea. That’s one of those things that amazes people.” Kehinde has made four prototype cars from upcycled materials like discarded wood and plastic, and spends hours refining them – hoping that one day he will finally make it fly”. He told CNN that he has traveled 84 miles from Lagos to Ibadan in the jet car and claims it can move 120 kilometers per hour on land and at least six knots on the sea.
