Former Nigerian striker and Super Eagles
stand-in coach, Daniel Amokachi has blamed
illiteracy and football agents for the transfer
saga which saw Emem Eduok dismissed
from the Eagles camp for the games against
Cote D’ Ivoire and Sudan.
The 20-year old Eduok had signed contracts
with Norwegian side, Sarpsborg 08 and
then Esperance of Tunisia in what could
ultimately lead to a FIFA ban to him, and was
subsequently dismissed from the Super
Eagles camp in Abuja.
And Amokachi, who had initially stated that
they won’t be missing the Dolphins forward,
has now slammed agents for often
misleading players.
“It’s not the fault of the players, because we
have just about anybody that poses as an
agent and you see them always roaming
around players and they convince players to
do stupid things.
“We should understand that we footballers
usually come from the ghetto and most of
us are not very sound education wise and
when they give you a paper you just up sign
and you don’t even know what you’re
doing."
“But I think we should focus more on
informing the players and the clubs, they
have to focus on educating the players on
who to talk to. If somebody approaches
them, they should have somebody reliable
enough to represent them,” Amokachi told
sl10.ng.
It remains unclear how the situation will be
resolved, as Sarpsborg are insisting that
Eduok is now their player, while Esperance
have released a statement that they expect
the 20 year old to return to them after
Nigeria’s assignments against Sudan and
Ivory Coast.

That a really big trouble for him.

My late grandmother until her death aged 90years could read fluently arguably more than most of our govt. officials yet she never attended a classroom during her lifetime. Don't see y players should succum to illitracy n nurture such excuse as not being able to read n understand contracts sheets because they came from the ghetto.

He should suffer the consequences also 2 serve as eye opener to others.

BTW, he is not 20

.

illitracy? How comes he plays intelligent football?

It's more like greed to me. The second club probably had a better package for him so he dammed the consequences thinking FIFA operates our traditional "man know man" bribing system in Nigeria.

Ability to play on the field doesn't transfer to the classroom.

That is why Segun Odebami always tell them to go to school because of sh#its like this.
