To every single youngster playing football please I urge and beg you to stop now and get something doing either proceed to getting a degree or learning a trade.

I say you should stop not because you aren't good enough but because it's extremely difficult to make it as a football player here in NIGERIA. No matter how good you are someone is better, no matter how fast you are someone is faster.

I won't type too much so it doesn't seem like all I do is say my story but please if you have a younger brother that is into footbal and doesn't want his life to be so hard when he is older tell him he should stop today.

I was extremely good as a footballer but didn't make it and even when I tried to get to the national team I still had to pay a bribe while the son's Rich always got into the team because their family has money or they have Rich agents yhat could pay for a slot.

Yes ighalo, Ramon azeez, John ogu, oshimen all made it because I once played with them but 10000 more didn't make it and you don't wanna know how frustrated they are right now.

This is a post to footballers and basketballers or anyone into in other kind of sport. You know all what I'm talking about. Now that you are still young and have the strength please use that strength now to learn a trade or go back to school because if you don't make it as a footballer it would be so difficult and extremely bad and your life might be messed up forever. If I decide to write a thread about my football career 10 Page's won't be enough but I know you footballers know what I'm talking about.

Think of Mama rashidi that, think of that senior man that was extremely good, think of how your thirties and fourties would be without a degree or a trade you learnt. Thank God i realised in time but some aren't so lucky so please i beg you to think now so you won't be amongst those much more later in your life

My mehn, hustle oooo, make your mama nor dey depend on government give-away.....

10k , a whole ministry chai nigeria is a real zoo. Hey am not the one that said it . open ur google and ask which country is zoo.

At least better than nothing.. You can't just be a hero in this country and be well celebrated

Good to placed her on monthly stipend but 10k monthly stipend not good.

That's nice.

We need people like Chief Sunday Dare in public offices. He has done well by reaching out to the old woman.


God bless him!

Let's start a gofundme for her

I know some will come here to say "at all at all na him bad".

This is some $30 or less and they are so proud to make an announcement of it.

I don't even know what to comment on further.

Na turn by turn.

Shameless bastards.



Tueh

Rashidi Yekini gave us happy memories. Those days all young boys on the pitch wanted to be strikers like Yekini!
One of my fondest goals I received arial pass with chest, ball bounced in fine control, noded past my opponent (defender),pushed it a little further with my right foot and rammed powerful shot past the goalkeeper, it was a sweet goal.
I had seen exact move from Yekini.

So na bread mama been dey sale before? Chai

Why can't they place her on 50,000.00 monthly salary for a whole lot of things her did for Nigeria.This country I see reasons why some Players don't want to play for Nigeria

Why not place her on #30k minimum wage ??
10k is too small for her to take care of herself, considering her age and health status. If you wan do good, do am finish oga!!!!

10k would buy food stuff for a single mouth in a month, its not like she is feeding the comiunity

Jesus Christ .....Mother of a great legend N10,000.00

Why are they paying her a pension. Was she a civil servant or was she involved in public service?

It might be an unpopular opinion but I have no mercy for all these footballers who earn the lifetime salary of an average citizen in a month without investing it and then come out later to accuse FG of neglect.

Kudos to the ministers at least he did something previous once didn’t

half bread is better than none lol

Wicked people after making several promises.

Nikepucci1:
This should be done to Old people especially Soldiers and their wives not because she is a mother of a footballer.....

Yekini was a proffessional footballer who was paid handsomely

I wonder what happened to all that money even before he retired.

This is beautiful! But 10k is kinda small sha

Very very low..... We don't appreciate our legends here in this country!


How about other forgotten heroes?

Good deed

Haba! He should have placed her on minimum wage nau.

The Kwara state Govt can add 10k more to make it N20k monthly, kudos to the minister. those that are bashing the FG can add more to the 10k instead of spewing rubbish

That's good

This is why i love President Muhammed Buhari's Administrative Block. A very good news. Sai Baba wey sabi. AM PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN.

Owolabi10:
10k a month.. That is quite small.. What can that do for someone in today's economy

How much is the Govt giving to grannies in your family whose kids served Nigeria in various capacities even as vulcanisers, bricklayers, engineers etc this is just a kind gesture, she is not their responsibility

Mohammedbodija:
Wetin be 10k?

K K K K K K K K K K.....Thats 10k

We suddenly woke up to remember this poor mother. Nigeria na wah oo
