coolMama Sam Okwaraji should open Twitter account and drop her account number I sure say within one week Nigerian Twitter community will bless her above One million
Very good idea, but for those that want to remain anonymous let them be while while those that wants to be given mentioned, their names are to be mentioned against the amount they donate.

If Sam was an Only Child...then I would understand her cries.

If however, she has other kids. None should be less than 30 years old as of now.

they should take care of their mum.

The Federal Government cry wont fetch mum today if they have been showin support in the past. 1989-2018 is 30 years o!!!

Buhari's government is a listening government.

I'm very sure something would be done about this shortly.
But when something is done about it, you'll see the dirty, unintelligent & ever-deluded IPIGs as well as other Jonathan sycophants claiming the past administration started it!

Buhari has recently fulfilled the housing promise made by previous governments to former U-23 coach, Bonfrere Jo, who won Atalanta '96! But we trust you unintelligent IPIGs to claim Jonathan started the compensation process!

Respect to Sam Okwaraji, his mum and the family!



That being said:
So the family ain't picked up since then?
Its been almost 20yrs the guy passed on, the family members couldn't Carter for themselves and the mother since then?

Actually 30years, you do have a point though..

No matter how much they(Govt) try to supports, they won't do it forever.

The mother of Nigerian football legend, late Sam Okwaraji, has revealed her unhappiness with the federal government after alleging that all her son sacrificed for the country - has been forgotten as she accused the authorities of abandoning the late hero's family. According to Emmanuel Okwuluora Okoh who paid a visit to the home of the late hero, Okwaraji's mother who is said to be sick - was emotional while appreciating them for their generosity.

Sam Okwaraji who died while on international duty for the country on August 12, 1989. Okwaraji slumped and died while playing for the Super Eagles against Angola at the National Stadium, Lagos in FIfa World Cup qualifier that ended 1-0 in favour of Nigeria.

Emmanuel took to Facebook to share details of the visit as he wrote;

I led a team to Sam Okwaraji's home~ His mother cried while appreciating us~ We lost a HERO and forgot him(Nigerian government forgot all my son sacrificed she said)~ I am pushing for his sick mother to be looked after and for Sam to be immortalised. Sam Okwaraji is the most patriotic Nigerian recorded~ May 19th 1964 to August 12th 1989~ The Lawyer~Footballer died playing for Nigeria against Angola.

It's sad that she's struggling, but the guy died almost 30 years ago. Why would anyone expect the federal government to keep sending anyone money over his death till this day? Especially when he died from a heart attack and not due to any negligence on the part of the government.

What we all should be fighting for is a better and effective welfare system for the elderly in Nigeria like they have in normal countries. That way someone can live into old age with dignity and not have to go around begging people for the means to survive.

The ambulance he died in refused to start. I can't forget those scenes. Samson Siasia was the one who noticed him on the ground, went yo him and raised the alarm.

Meanwhile in the stands, another drama was playing out. The stadium was holding double its capacity and people were being thrown down from the terraces. 8 fans died in the crush.

It was a nightmare.

Its a terrible country, people are dying everyday for a country that don't even have their record.
It is better to die for a nation that keeps record of you, that knows where you are and what you and your contributions to the country.

Here is a jungle, a survival takes all system. Nobody cares and nobody knows you unless you wrangle your way to a certain class.
Any youth who kills him or herself for this country has only thrown his life away. Remember Yekiini, and many others. What is their family situation today.
Well now let's see what they can do for the poor old woman.
