Nigerian 1974 Gold Medalist Turns Blind, Begs In Enugu Street To Feed

A 1974 Commonwealth boxing gold medalist, Stephen Ugboo is currently begging kindhearted Nigerians to come to his rescue following the loss of his sight as well as poor living condition that has left him with the option of begging in Enugu streets for survival.

The Nkanu East, Enugu State-born boxing professional boxer in a video obtained by ABN TV said he won a gold medal in 1974 in Australia after trouncing a man from New Zealand, Sylvester Hankor by a knockout at the second round of the game.

He said the then Yakubu Gowon administration apart from welcoming him in Dodan barracks and giving him a military escort, did nothing more to accord him recognition for the honour he did the country.

According to Ugboo, he was subsequently recruited as a coach for Nigerian side after which he was retired six months later.

The 1975 national sports festival gold medalist, therefore, appealed to the government to assist him with instruments that can aid his mobility, having lost his sight.

He also decried inhuman treatment meted to him in his community where he has allegedly been banished from.

Nigeria sha! nawa o. At least as his news don finally come out now, I'm sure blessing go locate am soonest. I wish I was wealthy tho. I don't know ,I hate seeing people suffer, it dey do me one kine. Seeing old people hawking on the street or doing menial jobs breaks my heart and some people will be embezzling money meant for old pensioners and no conscience or concern. Our leaders are heartless, very very.

This is very pathetic.
It's a pity that the country doesn't value it's treasures, they would rather spend billions in uplifting those that cause untold pains, sorrows, and tears on the masses (Boko Haram and killer herdsmen) than help and uplift it's treasures.
It's just a pity!!

Choi

And you want to blame some Nigerians born in foreign lands for not representing Nigeria

You can imagine!!! Some Nigerians representing at the Olympics said they only had one jersey.. after use you wash..

What will now happen to those kind of athletes after retirement?? A country that can't provide mere jersey will have a retirement plan for you??

Bleep the system!!!

All of us @[b][/b] will take this matter up personally.

The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

State and Federal Government should do something about this.

This is TOTTALY unacceptable.

Modify :
We are happy they listened to us...
He has been taken off the street.
Thank you Mr Steve.
Thank you Jesus. cheesy

AfroAgroPower:

Great job.
Very commendable.
You all will surely be favourably rewarded.

I'll also like to show my support in my own little way. Let's connect if possible.
Thanks for the heads up sir.
Nigeria will start moving forward when her citizens learn to do the right thing.
God bless you sir.

Why is it that these people think Nigerians owe them?

For goodness sake, Nigeria owes all of us. We're struggling. While you're making money and fame, kindly invest heavily in your future. Sports is one of the jobs with shortest employment span

Go to other foreign countries and see how they treat their gold medalist even from decades ago....Nigeria is a disgrace.. the guy that even created the flag is suffering self... And they will jus seat at the upper and lower chambers with their fat absurd stomachs creating laws that only favour them...... undecided

He won a gold medal for Nigeria, if only Biafra had materialised and he won it for Biafra he would have been a celebrated hero. The fact that he wears his medals with Green White Green ropes is enough to make his community to banish him.

I hope his people comes to his aid but he should stop reminding them that he won the medals under Gowon whose people in Plateau state are being slaughtered daily by Fulanis

God, keep answering the prayer of the poor masses by turning the bandits to either kidnap our politicians or their children in order for them to feel the insecurities they are subjecting the poor masses.
