I think she's right.
It's a waste of time trying to build someone who is not ready to be built.
It goes for both men and women, not only women. She's talking for herself.

"Footballers are like women trying to get a man to marry - the older they get, the harder it is finding a good club."

While growing up, I loved football and the game of soccer like a monkey loves banana. I always think of how successful I would be in this career if I dedicate my whole to it. At every slight chance I had , I played football. Anytime I was sent on an errand and I see where they're playing football, I'll stop by and join them - forgetting I was sent something.

After closing hours , during my secondary school days, my friends and I would arrange a venue where we fondly call 'Emirates Stadium' - to play football while our colleagues were either in school doing extra lessons or at home helping with domestic chores and doing their assignments.

One day after wasting several hours playing football while I was sent an errand - I was lost and had to lie that I was kidnapped by "unknown gunmen" just because I was playing football.

Our landlord seized all our balls till he got tired of us because we don't allow him observe siesta at noon. Even with deep cuts on my leg, I still play football without receiving a single penny.

Then I was dealt a big blow. I have an uncle who is very much into grassroot football and who could have easily handpicked me and drop me in one academy or club like that. I went to Abuja to live with him, I was so happy that at least my football career will take a whole new turn. I trained on few occasions with his team in Bako, Kwali Area Council, Abuja - thinking I could convince him - but to my greatest surprise he said - "My friend, go to school, leave football." This statement was so demoralizing that I actually gave up 'a little.'
"If this man that I thought would be my helper is telling me to go to school then, it is finished - I concluded."

Then, I got my first admission into higher institution (WOLEX POLYTECHNIC). The soccer demon in me resurrected again. I joined the school team and was immediately instated because of my unmatchable impact in the team. I would leave my house by 6AM - jog to school and still train with the school team till it's 7:45AM before starting lectures by 8AM. Anytime I get to the lecture room, I began to sleep - although the department I was was not where I loved to be (ACCOUNTANCY). In fact, the 2.50 GP I had at the end of my first and final year in WOLEX POLY was through football. My coach who is also a lecturer would take me round other lecturers to solicit on my behalf for good marks when marking my script.

I left WOLEX and joined INTERLINK POLYTECHNIC. There, I got my dream course and department - MASS COMMUNICATION. Feeling excited , because I have everything I wanted then - football and Mass Comm. During Rector's cup at Interlink Poly, I'm the most deafened person in the school, there's nothing you would preach to me that will get into my body or soul because I will be so focused on the competition. Any lecturer except the HOD that fixes class during our training will be termed an enemy of success and we would do everything possible to frustrate his/her class. Mr. Balogun, Miss Tomi, Mr Jagbalo... ahh! I would miss classes upon classes just because I'm playing football. Thank goodness for my female colleagues then, they tried to clean up my messes. The sheer determination and passion for football paid off a little - my department won the Rector's cup twice during my four years at college.

But I'm grateful that as a person, I didn't force myself to play football while abandoning other important aspects of my life. I wasn't so ignorant that I shunned school or knowledge because I was playing football. I thank goodness that while yearning for a blistering football career , I was still going to school to gain knowledge. I was fortunate to be sent to school and graduated though.

Though I'm still into football as an administrator but I'm quite satisfied I'm not active.

I feel for footballers, particularly in this continent - every single day. These people pass through a lot. They pass through things that are not printable. Footballers are like women trying to get a man to marry - the older they get, the harder it is finding a good club. I will not go into full details what they pass through because everyone has different experience but these people deserve more than what they get in reward for their passion.

Footballers sacrifice their education, money, inheritance, food, destiny, happiness, love life, just because of football. More reason why most Nigerian footballers, can't put simple sentences together. They've sacrificed every single thing in them to football.

That's why I'm appealing to all our young footballers not to allow football stop them from gaining relevant knowledge and skills that will feed them when football is not. Don't be so carried away that you turn deaf ears to everything around you even when you see someone that's willing to help you in other things. Football will come and go but it's what you have left after football has left you that will stay with you forever. Don't trade your future because of what is not worth it. You know yourself that time is going and you haven't done anything meaningful with your life. Yes, you know. If you lie to the world, you can never lie to yourself.

Brace up! Chin up! Buckle Up! Do something meaningful while you're still playing football. Be alert to things happening around you. There are skills you can learn that will not hinder you from playing football. Don't be ignorant. Football is interesting but it must be backed up.

Apart from being busty , she's beautiful too.

Baba don dey age too. Congratulations

Fani should "fan down" abeg.

Jibsy203:
Leave talk abt, u won't see any igbo ppl there, yorubas are poverty striking urchins

Like seriously bro? I'm Igbo and stay in Yoruba land. They're hard working, loving and easy going people. Please choose the right words. Maybe one of them has done you bad, but that doesn't mean they're are all bad.

babasolution:
the poor shall continue to be poor.yoruba poor ooo

This statement is wrong, your brother may be there. It's not about Yoruba, it's about Nigeria.

I want to take timeout to appreciate all the hardworking guys of Nairaland for bringing news stories across Nigeria to us, especially this trying time, and as always. God continue to bless you guys. Keep up the good work.

The woman was not happy. But the man was fulfilled.

True! Osun is vulnerable

By the way, all our local channels are still blocked. These channels like AIT, STV, LTV, Channels TV , TVC should be free to air this period.

Platini7:
Please i created this moniker to seek advise on this issue.

I got married to my wife in 2018 and there's already an issue that is threatening our young marriage.

We dated briefly 10 years ago before she travelled to the US for schooling. She stayed there for a while and then got into a relationship over there with a guy i know (I wasn't close friends with the guy). I had to move on with my life and got into a relationship of my own here in Nigeria.
Back then, i use to have this silly habit of creating anonymous facebook accounts where i would add people i know and comment on their posts and pictures without them ever knowing i was the one. I dropped many comments back then and one such incident happened to be a time i commented on her close friend's picture, telling her (the friend) she was pretty and how i wanted her. This was almost 10 years ago and i swear i never meant any of those words. It was just a silly joke and i had completely forgotten all that.
My wife returned Nigeria in 2016 and somehow we reconnected and got married in 2018.

Just last week, she stumbled on those posts i made in 2010-2011 and got really heartbroken and upset. Right now, even after pleading with her, she says she wants to quit the marriage. She packed a few of her stuff and travelled home to Abia state from our base in Lagos. So far, what she told her family in the east is that she just came back to visit them for a little while because she couldn't come back during xmas.
Now she's threatening that i won't see my 1 year old son anytime soon cos she's already making plans of relocating abroad for good.


Please my question is this; Do you think this issue is enough to cause this kind of disharmony in our home?
What do you advice?
Thank you

She doesn't love you anymore . been looking for means to discharge you like semens since. Collect your son and carry go. Life moves on.

madridguy:
The entire roundabout was pulled down and not only Baba 70 statue.
Nigeria bloggers will not set Nigeria ablaze with their lazy report.

If the story is not generating this kind of reaction, then it's not newsworthy.

I no sure sey ex corpers get hope at all as the movement dey go.
