Ex-Super Eagles star, Sodje, implicated in UK match-fixing scandal

34year old ex-Super Eagles star, Sam Sodje is currently been investigated in a match-fixing scandal in the UK. Sam, who is the younger brother of footballer Efe sodje, was allegedly caught on tape telling an undercover reporter with The Sun UK magazine that he was paid £70,000 to be sent off the field during a championship match on February 23rd 2013. Footage from the football match showed Sam Sodje hitting the crotch of Oldham Athletic's player Jose Baxter, repeatedly for no reason which ultimately earned him a red card. Sam admitted to the undercover reporter that his actions were all preplanned for him to be sent off the pitch. He also said it was easy to get other footballers to do same for a fee. Sam practically ended his football career by collecting £12,000 from the undercover reporter, on tape, for other match fixings.

The British Tabloid has reported its investigation to the National Crime Agency, and NCA said an active investigation is now underway.

I am sure he was telling the truth in the video because he wouldn't say such a thing if it did not happen but the problem with us Nigerians is that we are so loud ,no matter where we find ourselves.Even the men employed as security guards in supermarkets here in the UK,they behave(at the door)as if they are shareholders in the company.We'brag' a lot,other people do the same thing and nobody hears about it but some men are just empty vessels that make the largest noise.Other nationals who do this see it as wrong,but they still do it without noise(chop clean mouth)but not my fellow Nigerians.At my borough here in London,Nigerian security guys there are known to collect bribery and people are working on it now to get them but they don't know,so don't blame him,he laid his bed,he should lie?? on it

Linda, this is off topic, but just want to let u know there are lots of Anonymous that check ur blog every 30 minutes and make comments more than the popular ones we know, but just want to stay anonymous for personal reasons. Especially this time wey Oga at the top wan dey spy on us. I think u should come up with a quiz about you, your blog and previous posts, and the first 9 (if Bonario has been selected already)or 10 people that answer correctly get to receive the 100k each.
