[b][/b][i][/i]Sad one. Just lastweek I asked an okada rider who this guy was on Ado road Ajah. For the past one year I always see him fixing bad roads. Tempted to ask him why he's always there. Concerned about his mental health and not to receive a big slap or blow from his huge muscled hands, I waka pass. Thankfully help ison his way.

lack of good planning put man in this kind of mess...

I disagree with u sir, its not all about planning. Money has wings and the queer thing about it is it can fly away at any moment no matter how much or well you u plan it. Dunno if u r christian or Muslim. Buh have studied both the Quran and bible well enof and I realised

Check Quran (Surah Al-Namal, Verse 73). And if u r a christian check psalm 127 vs 1.

Or u can check bhagavad gita 9:27. In the final teaching of krishna


All talks about grace of The supreme one. Only grace makes life worth living not planning



I stand to be corrected though no one is a fountain.

The truth is most of our athletes and celebrities lead a fake life... Let them come down to whom they really are and make away with youthful exuberance and unnecessary spendings. Rainy day must surely come... But how prepared?

The same way I damaged my knee in the DSSC training and the Nigerian Army sat on the 1.78million naira that was meant to fix my knee. Despite the fact that I'm a Medical Doctor they still did this to me.

I've also felt my own pain of trying to serve Nigeria. Now I won't be foolish anymore. Australia in a bit.

Feeling potholes seems like a very good job in Nigeria at the moment that government is practically non existent. I spent quite a few bulks on the them recently because I was quite impressed with the work they do. It is something that should be encouraged and probably create a good industry from it that could be an alternative government waywardness and neglect of infrastructures

The question is "what did he do with the money he made from olympics and sports in general,"

Am very sure he was given some money at least appearance fee

All these celebrities and sports men should buckle up and save for the rainy days

It is not the responsibility of the government of any nation to take care of ex Olympians, including those ones that last participated in 1972.

He's been phased out. His light has gone dim.

May God help him.

You have said it all. Bro let no one see other side of life if anyone sees it then he or she will know glory can be phased out and destiny can thrown into darkness or deep ocean everything that person do won't work virtually everything. I pray may God in his mercy help him and remove every shackles of glory killer placed on him.

Thank God he was noticed and I think the hour has come for the light to shine on him and this is why his situation came up here.
