Life Is Not Easy For Me – Kingsley Udoh Laments by Aisheart(op): 6:26am On Nov 07, 2024
When I left Heartland to join Kano Pillars, I heard the governor had approved the money they owed me. I took a flight back to Owerri from Kano, stayed in a hotel for three days, only to leave empty-handed. I didn’t see a single kobo.”

Speaking on No holds barred, Brila FM, Udoh laid bare the hardships he’s currently enduring.

Life is not easy for me at all,” he admitted. “Even paying house rent is a very very difficult . I can’t afford to attend coaching courses like I want to because of funds. I’m married with four kids, and my wife is dealing with a chronic ulcer.

Things are very difficult—I need help.”

Udoh’s challenges extend beyond financial matters. He revealed the emotional impact of losing a cherished symbol of his career success: his U-17 FIFA World Cup gold medal.

“I can’t find my U17 FIFA World Cup Gold medal. My father was in charge of it, since his passing, I’ve not seen that medal. It’s so bad,” he said.

I thought it was a case of poor investment strategies. But no. Instead, Nigeria happened to him as it happens to many of us.

This country peaks so high at leaving the most promising individual with nothing but a template of failed dreams and broken wings. It's terribly sad!

Hopeless uzordima should pay up this guy biko angry . And wetin he used d money & 3 bedroom block of flats Yaradua give dem do bcs I knew most of his colleagues in Liberty stadium Ibadan who won the same U-17 with him, and dey are doing fine outside football. Most of them are in abroad doing business even after playing NPFL.
He should have Jakpa to further his education and join a lower division leagues abroad like what some of his colleagues I knew did.
But too much show up and pvssy no go let man be bcs these guys were big boys in 2007 . Yaradua gave them each up to 20M as at then shocked which was very huge and Kano Pillars were paying better back then bcs Nigeria Naira was even stronger than South Africa Rand and most North African currency then. Yaradua's death did a lot of damage to our economy cry

I'm not surprised Nigeria don't honor their past heroes. Many that have made this country proud are ravaging in poverty and extreme hardships as the government has abandoned them

If you don't have any oga at the top to carry you along don't make the mistake of representing Nigeria in any sporting activity......They'll use and dump you.



I would rather be a second class citizen of another country where I will be pampered than to be treated like a slave in my own country. Don't allow any idiòt deceive you with patriotism shìt.

People are wicked. If you're not a stupid fool, it takes very little money to be comfortable. But some people never gets satisfied no matter how much they have.


How can people be satisfied seeing that new range rover you bought, that new mansion you bought in foreign countries, that 5 star hotels and yatch cruises is the reason thousands of lives are getting destroyed? And still sleep at night

Re: Life Is Not Easy For Me – Kingsley Udoh Laments by Whobedatte(m): 9:35am On Nov 07, 2024
Nigeria is happening to us all Mr Udoh.
I believe you should have made connections ar the peak of your career ànd should have leveraged on that . Na man no man e be for this we naija .
While growing ensure you keep meeting people , belong to groups and associations and that is the only way you can make it in this country.
Updates dey , na just meeting the right people .
I met someone in Kano few years ago and he connected me with a printing job last few months .
Omo , make we meet the right people , that's all

Sorry former capitano, football is still seen as a thing of play in this country and sadly you can't take the owners of this clubs to court because they are state-owned...


I sell herbs for sexual enhancement tho

Then they ask why Kemi wants nothing to do with them. Imagine this guy finally leaves Nigeria and another country gives him the chance. Do you think he would forgive Nigeria. Many Nigerians in diaspora have been hurt one way or the other by the country. Corruption, Joblessness, Nepotism, failed businesses due to absence of basic amenities, bad roads leading to accidents because someone embezzled the project money, kids cannot get good school, food and health care. If you leave Nigeria and work your ass to a comfortable position, you will not want to have anything to do with Nigerias complacency, nepotism, incompetence, deceit, corruption. As a Swedish once told me patriotism is being realistic, honest and facing the problem the way it is without sugarcoating so the real problems are tackled but till then let’s keep pretending and saying „e go better“ while praying all night for Nigeria. I hope the man finds help.
