Obafemi Martins dragged to court for his lifestyle
Nov 21st, 2009 | By Publisher Loccidental | Category: NigeriaThe SUN, a Nigerian tabloid, has reported on Friday how Martins former management company, NVA Management Limited, has dragged the player to court over breach of contract.
The management company claims that he still owes them 300,000 for sorting out his finances.
NVA Management Limited told the jury how they had to manage the Super Eagle’s finances because despite his extraordinary earnings (75.000 Pounds/week) Martins account always went red because of his lifestyle.
The High Court heard that the Nigerian international player would withdraw £40,000 in cash from his bank account at the end of the week.
But that would only last him two days, the court heard, as he topped up with a further £25,000 on the Monday morning.
He was always overdrawn and repeatedly relied upon NVA Management Limited to ‘manage his life’, the High Court was told.
Martins, who owned several fast cars, spent the money funding an extravagant lifestyle of luxurious penthouse homes and fine dining, NVA Management Limited said.
