The duo,who had supposedly been at loggerheads since the 0-0 draw
against Greece on Wednesday reportedly shook hands and hugged after a
lengthy meeting initiated and chaired by Stephen Keshi.
"Keshi had a family chat with the boys yesterday and in the
meeting he made it known to Mikel and Emenike that their rift was
unsettling the team," a source told SL10.
"After a heated exchange both players poured out their minds
after which Keshi settled them but not without getting involved in a
shouting game with one of them."
"At the end both players shook hands,hugged and even ended up in
each other's room chatting before going to bed,it's over thanks to Keshi
spotting it early."
SL10 were told that all 23 players who were present at the
meeting were asked to speak out their grievances, so all issues could be
ironed out before they fly out to Brazil on Tuesday for serious
business.
Newcastle forward Shola Amoebi, the oldest and most experienced
among the 23 selected players, later advised the players on the strength
of being united as a team, with no ill feelings towards one another.
The team trained once on Monday ahead of their departure to
Brazil for the World Cup with their first game scheduled for 16th of
June against Iran.
