I wonder why many stars of yesteryear sound "beggarly" after years of reign.Is it due to inadequate preparation for the future or environmental factors?

Legendary Nigerian boxer, Jerry Okorodudu says he is dying of hunger over the non-payment of his 10 months’ salary by the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Okorodudu, Nigeria’s boxer in the 1994 Los Angeles Olympic Games, U.S., says he is owed the salary arrears by the sports ministry without any explanation as he told the told News Agency of Nigeria that the situation had deprived him of providing for his family, adding that he had “resorted to begging in order to eat and feed his family’’.

It will be recalled that the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games bronze medallist had in 2016 gone cap in hands begging the same ministry to pay him 14 months’ salary arrears. The matter was later resolved and he got his salary arrears then.

“I have travelled to Abuja severally and also written letters to the ministry but nothing is forthcoming, all they do is to keep referring me to different people in the ministry. I am dying of hunger and can no longer cater for my family because my salary has not been paid in the last 10 months.

I have represented this country during my active years and should not be treated this way, this is bad. A similar thing happened in 2016 where I petitioned the ministry and the court ordered them to pay me the 14 months salaries they owed me as at then,'’ he said.

The former boxer, who also won two gold medals at the African Championship in 1982, lamented the treatment from the sports ministry in spite of his contributions and sacrifices for the country.

“My pensionable job in the ministry was changed to a contract; the Nigeria Boxing Federation has also sidelined me by removing me from every competition. I represented this country well as an athlete and a coach, but it is a pity that this is happening to me and other former sportsmen and women in the country,’’ he said.

Please my great veteran boxer kindly look for something to do to put food on the table for your family.It's a very shameful thing in this country to always abandon it's heroes and heroine of yesteryears to suffer at their sunset years having represented and brought honours to their fatherland at their sunrise and prime years.

Ki ki ki ki.... welcome to the ranks of those who depend on government for their salaries... current teachers and civil servants haven't seen their pay, yet an ex-boxer expects this same gov't to pay him... on a long tin. grin

Thankfully he is still fit and not reaching us from a hospital bed, begging for donations for an expensive surgery

With his wealth of experience, he could comment on boxing matches on a sports channel

Now this does NOT justify depriving him of remuneration for services rendered. Pay the man his dues.

Best comment on this thread! I like your angle. Very true and reasonable

But in the mean time, he can still avoid going hungry...
