Ifeanyi udeze, segun odegbami and co are typical example while talent is not just enough, Pali is important. If not for education they might have become agberos after dier football career ended.

Eboue takes the crown. I don't believe anyone else can so much fall from grace to grass like him till thy kingdom come!!

Very pathetic story i tell you. Watched an interview he gave of how he was homeless and occasionally had to go hide in ones of his houses that the court gave to his wife, and when they found out police was called to evict him.

He isn't evene in contact with his kids from her, she basically took everything he laboured for years to gain in that country. Yet men have mouth to talk trash about African women. The one paining me is that the girlfriend that struggled with him that he dumped to marry her, is who he has gone back to and married.

The idiot still even marry am, poverty is really in her destiny

Only 200k dollars a year he pays you say?

You see what I mean?
it may seem huge to you but to him it's ok he worth alot, in a ghanaian divorce court they look at how much the man earns and a reasonable amount will be demanded to be given for the upkeep of the kids, his kids live and school in london so that amout of money for 3 kids based in London is ok. He's not been asked to share his money and assets with her so he's actually had it cool. Eboue had everything snatched from him there's a difference

Its a pity!


May we never fall after fame.

Falling is normal. Not being able to stand up thereafter is the problem.

Never, EVER, give up!

The fool did, they had a modest wedding within his means. I guess she doesn't deserve the lavish life, as the struggle lover wey she be.

But his white wife had a lavish wedding, and all the expensive things you can think of. Women just don't learn.

He's not a presenter.

He's got a show on brilafm

Some of you don't know how radio or media work

You can pay for airtime to promote whatever idea you have and host it yourself if you want

This is what Udeze does on radio

Its his show

I think its a 1 to 2 hours show per day.
I won't argue much with you.
He did not buy any Airtime on Brilla, he joined as one of their football analyst in the Good Morning Crew.
The programme "Udeze Diary" was not owned by him. It was.coined for him by Brilla.
As much as I don't know his financial status but saying he personally owned a programme on Brilla is a big fat lie.
Brilla is my radio from morning till Night,so I know "the man wey sabi" very well.

[quote author=grandstar post=83480375]

It may not have paid as much now but it still paid very well.

The prime problem is that these footballers spent as though their careers would never end. A football career is short and most retire by the time they are 35. If you retire and you keen spending the way you did while still playing football, you'll end up broke. They can't even afford to spend up to 20% of what they were previously earning and not go broke if they have no investments

If I was to provide simple financial advise, I would say invest 60% of your post tax income every year of your professional career. Reinvestment the profits from your investment.

The safest investment is real estate. If they wanted to invest in Nigeria, they could build blocks of six bedroom flats. If a block of 6 flats is built every 2years during a 12 year career, there'd be a total of 36 flats waiting for him, bringing in 36 x 1.2m = 43.2m a year which is 100,000 pounds sterling. With such an income after retirement,

It's better not to taste wealth at all than to taste it and be relegated to poverty league. It will be like money ritual gone wrong.
They cannot be so poor that they won't have any houses and cars of their own. So in my own opinion, they are still not poor, they are not just as rich as they used to be.

Being on Brila isn't a proof that someone is poor, or is it?

I could remember at a point Kanu Nwakwo seized his watch one time at navy barracks worth 50,000 dollars then when dollar was still 149. Kano told him to invest else they'll have issues and he refused to listen. He even went further to buy more watches and cars, even for his girlfriends

Coined for him by who? Do you know Taribo west, Oliseh, Dodo Mayana and Aghoavoah also come on air on brila too occasionally? Does it also mean they are broke?

Udeze's diary is a show he anchors not because he's broke. What exactly do you know about him?

How much can Izamoze pay him for his daily 2 hours or less show?

Hope you know he's also a football agent?

You are funny. You are pitying a guy who I know built a N30million house he is living in, and at least has a gig on Brila FM. Yet you are asking for a N5,000 loan (probably to do your sports betting).

Guy, reset yourself quickly.

Rubbish. Eboue got swindled by his English wife as she took over his possessions made out in her name. After the stress he returned to football in Turkey where he is part of the coaching crew in his present time. How is he broke?
