Why will they care for their ex-footballers when nothing in this country is free and fair. To be a leader of this country you must steal or buy your way in. Just watch this video and tell me what will make them care for their citizens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9RXNSnsYTs If you like the packaging you can subscribe to the channel 1 Like |

These people lived a large life off the handsome rewards they got playing for foreign clubs. They made money. They enjoyed life. Question is, who did they empower or helped? What did they contribute to the society to better other people's life? See what Ahmed Musa and Asisat Oshoala is doing for people in their community. If things ever go down for them, people will turn up for them because they showed compassion when they had money. How about these ones? You can't earn huge salaries playing for big clubs and from Super eagles and enjoyed alone, finish the money and expect us to come crowdfund for you to start again. 4 Likes |

Pensions paid to politicians should be used for the welfare of patriotic citizens who served this nation during their prime. These sportsmen & women have no means to loot, but an average Nigerian politician will make enough money for himself and his generation why still active in the office, lastly, one problem many ppl lacks is financial education.[b] I just came to understand that no matter the amount of money the most important thing is the ability to protect and multiply your wealth is the most important thing. I recommend that you should read THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON and sturdy the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 11 as a young [/b]man 1 Like 1 Share |

dele1727: Baffling how people are not talking about the pastor. What is his name? Where is the pastor now? #2B in 2016 when a dollar was #257 should be equal to around #4B in 2023. Losing #2B is not a small money. Such pastor should be dealt with and something recouped for Wilson. Until we start to deal with issues the way it comes the earlier the better for us. This is why fraudsters should be giving serious sentencing. 3 Likes |

They’d rather pay retired thieving politicians humongous amount of gratuity rather than do this. In the civilized world, they made sure that politicians are one of the least paid hence, you don’t aspire for political office unless you really have the interest of the citizens at heart.

pek:in this case, careless investment can be blamed but the govt owes them irrespective of what clubs pay them. Don't forget not every talented footballer who spent their 20s and 30s in the sports got signed in Europe and earned fat salaries. Some are in local league where their salary cannot treat injuries and yet represented their countries. I insist the govt owes them a little something. 1 Like |

I sympathise with them. At the same time, I don't. Why will they go to Europe to play football, earn some real money in foreign currency and still go broke? If at any point they feel the money is dwindling, what stops them from staying low-key in a foreign country and working there at the same time coming back home to make investments as basic as landed property? We are suddenly hit with these sensational stories of they being broke, they being sick etc. I believe the Nigerian government ought to have a welfare plan for retired footballers who have donned on national colors, at the same time, what stops a player from creating his/her own safety net by making basic, sensible investments? 2 Likes 1 Share |

RepoMan007:Government owes them what and how? Just this morning, there's a report that said the average player in the Nigerian league earns between 200-500 thousand naira. The report also went ahead to say these players live a flamboyant and reckless life. How much is a director's salary in the ministry? About 250,000. You get the picture now? I ask again, how those the government owe them? They are paid humongous salaries and bonus, tax free and you turn to blame the government. 1 Like |

Many sports personality forget that their career is short and without a back up plan the huge amount of wealth accrued over the years can disappear . They live flashy lifestyles ,womanise and drugs and when their career nosedive they seek empathy from the public . This is not only applicable to Nigerians nay Africans but it's a global phenomena ,however it's worse in the African continent due to the poverty level over here. In Wilson Oruma's case ,he was duped by a so called man of god and it's understandable but if he had seek professional advice ,I doubt he would have dabbled into it. May God's Grace find him. 1 Like |
