Nigeria beat Honduras 3-2 to win bronze at the ongoing Rio Olympics.
Billionaire Japanese plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu had promised to reward the team even if they won no medal.
He fulfilled his promise after watching the game live in Brazil. Takasu presented the monies to coach Samson Siasia and team captain Mikel Obi.
It was initially alleged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) tried hijacking the money..
