It doesn't sound good to me that he's using the occasion of his birthday to beg for money, especially money for his personal use. President Tinubu, you did this one too.

All the same, HBD to him.

If a whole Kanu can drop account number for birthday gifts, stop broke shaming poor people like you from begging

Our old football celebrities have done well so far, they've managed to keep their family & marital lives private esp in this age of social media narcissism

Keep quiet there. If it's for Kanu Heart Foundation, what stops him from using the foundation account?

Mismanagement happens young girl, what you don't know you learn.


The Foundation is not solely managed by him.

Re: Nwankwo Kanu Celebrates His 50th Birthday Today by Mrexcell(m): 9:41am On Aug 01
He is no doubt a legend even osihmen in all his glory is yet to achieve half of what kanu achieved in his career. But I must confess that kanu is a very bad football administrator football administration is definitely not his field.

Braggadocio, don't pretend as if you can't recognize your betters.
Re: Nwankwo Kanu Celebrates His 50th Birthday Today by geoworldedu: 9:41am On Aug 01
I watched him play against Chelsea and supported Arsenal to win Chelsea because of Kanu.

Thanks goodness, I didn't choose a club to follow at that time, if not I would have to never say CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE till date. Omoh.

Fastforward to 2006, my support for Chelsea began to develop grin

You have a very short memory. And, of course, that's expected from you as a braggadocio. I know that if I were to continue with you again, in no distant time you will start soliciting for financial help from me again, like you did in one thread sometime ago. LOL.

Yes oh, I dont mind getting a $100,000 zero interest loan from your caregiver income, it will be highly appreciated, every businessman and company owner crave for free loan, even Dangote loved Emefiele and late Wigwe for that, maybe you can be my own Emefiele, Wigwe and co, abeg I am still open to that forget the small yab weh I yab u which u still need to keep your head low u know cheesy grin

We were together at the Rojenny Camp in 1993, preparing for the Under-17 World Cup. Although I didn't make the final squad for the tournament, three of my teammates did, including Charles Okonedo, the goalkeeper, Emma.

Papillo.... Retire those braids and embrace baldness or.... Get a hair transplant from Turkey.

Kanu of Atlanta 96 Olympics. Watching highlights... Love their jersey. Thankfully China brought it back.
Why should he retire the braids? He still has hair for the braids. His wife is not complaining why are you?


How did you come to the conclusion that he is bald? Have you ever met him?
