This is sad! I understand the fact that David Faramola Oniya is not the first player to have
collapsed while playing (hunting for his daily bread) and eventually pass on. To mention a
few similar incidence, Marc-Vivien Foe of Cameroun during a Confederations Cup game in 2003,
and recently Belgium lost two players in similar fashion this year.

The death of this Nigerian footballer who plies his trade for T-Team, a club in Malaysia during a friendly game
against Kelantan on Saturday 13th June 2015 came as a rude shock to many including his friends and Nigerians
at large especially those who understand the ''hustle'' and the search for greener pasture.

I visited his Facebook page and realized that many who were sending in their condolences
do not know David from Adam. Nigerians, colleagues and many others he had had contact
with during his days on earth could not hold back but drop a line.

According to reports, he had barely had contact with the ball, in fact he had not played five minutes
before he slumped and was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The essence of this write-up is not to join in the blame game, however, we won't delve into the
blame game by his club Chief Executive CEO Syahrizan Mohd Zain who felt the player would have
survived if only he had received adequate and prompt attention.

All that would not wake the dead! We can only send our prayers and that is what many of David's ''friends'' at large are doing now.
