If I did that then you would have a very unhappy day you would sit back and ask yourself some serious questions about your purpose in life

Hence I won't bother

Udeze has been very broke fir over 5 years....Larry saved his life with that radio show,dude was living on charity from former team mates.

I'm not disputing the fact, you might be right, who knows! But the reason this attract headlines is because these guys fall under celebrities, many of us who have reached one zenith in life & humbly climbed down, who cares? Simply because we are not celebrities.

So, as a former star, present governor or president, even Senator, etc, if you sneeze, fart or mistakenly slip in public, it attract headlines o, forgotten that these people are normal human as we are.
It is well!!!

His oyibo wife collected everything when she took him to court, including their children.

Funny enough he’s now back and married to the woman he dumped in his home country when he blew and became big.

It’s interesting how black men think marrying white is a status symbol, then when these women squeeze of all their juice they will now run back to their dumped long time sufferhead black partners.

I guess black women only deserve them when they’re broke and worn out, not when they’re at their best.
The reverse can also be the case. They are black women who can also impoverish a man. His own case was just a case of being too sissy....

Mohammed yusuf last played football in
2010 and it was for the super eagles of Nigeria during the nations cup where he suffered a serious injury that ended his career. an injury he suffered at the age of 25....haba bros.... you no get conscience ?

now I see why Tammy Abraham dumped Nigeria

He snubbed Nigeria, not dumped. Two different things.

Footballers are rich, you can also add that they are very rich and yes! everyone will agree with you. Especially those footballers that once plied their trades in the top European Leagues as they are paid in thousands of hard foreign currency.

Sadly not all of these footballers have a happy-ending after their football careers and some of them have gone totally broke living in abject poverty.

Today at PEE Tv, we will be taking a look at 5 African stars (in no particular order) that went totally broke after their illustrious footballing career.

1. Emmanuel Ebuoe:

2. Wilson Oruma:

3. Eric Djemba Djemba

4. Ifeanyi Udeze

5. Mohammed Yusuf

Tap the link for the more info...

The number 5. That guy should be Eric djemba djemba, from Cameroon and ex indomitable lions of Cameroon and not Mohammed Yusuf.

They are broke,ifeanyin wey dey lavish money those days ,likes party and importing foreign babes.Today he can’t try such again for him room and parlor apartment in Ijegun Satellite .

Ifeanyi udeze in a room and parlor? some of you are worse than a devil. Because he doesn't spend lavishly again like before means he's broke and live in a self contain abi?

I've noticed that people who are struggling in life find solace in mocking those they think were once rich but now poor in their mind.

Does having a radio show make you poor?

No one should make friends with people like you because you are toxic.

dedolampy:
becouse they played football doesn't mean they were all rich.
back den football weren't paying as much as it is now.

It may not have paid as much now but it still paid very well.

The prime problem is that these footballers spent as though their careers would never end. A football career is short and most retire by the time they are 35. If you retire and you keen spending the way you did while still playing football, you'll end up broke. They can't even afford to spend up to 20% of what they were previously earning and not go broke if they have no investments

If I was to provide simple financial advise, I would say invest 60% of your post tax income every year of your professional career. Reinvestment the profits from your investment.

The safest investment is real estate. If they wanted to invest in Nigeria, they could build blocks of six bedroom flats. If a block of 6 flats is built every 2years during a 12 year career, there'd be a total of 36 flats waiting for him, bringing in 36 x 1.2m = 43.2m a year which is 100,000 pounds sterling. With such an income after retirement, he can set up some proper businesses which he can manage hands on.

You need to understand that the issue of sportsmen going bankrupt after sports is actually a global problem. Sunday Oliseh said 70% of footballer go broke after football including those overseas.

A sports career is short lived. They therefore need to save and invest for the long term

This is for a player earning 200,000 pounds a year after tax income and this is income is small.

As for eboue, well his case is pathetic but I don't feel sorry for him because that's what happens when you marry out of ur race. Some black men will date black women when they are broke but as soon as they make it they wanna marry a white woman because of their inferiority complex. At least if his wife was a blackwoman and she wanted to dupe him his family could have spoken to her family to talk sense to her but who will help you when you get issues with a white woman. His mates Drogba and co are happily married to their kind and enjoying their money in peace.

/

The first question is: How much of the earnings you read about really ended up in their accounts after taxes, management fees, etc?

Throw in "balling" and "flossing" into the mix, and you have a recipe for financial disaster.

Then the ubiquitous scammers, leeches and dependents must definitely show.

Any Nigerian footballer who is still financially bouyant after 10 years of retirement must be a genius.

well he shamelessly accused her of cheating on him and his kids not being his because he wanted to leave her for another woman but dna tests proved he was the father of all three children. The thing is the woman had a business marriage in order to get stay documents in europe before she met gyan and she actually helped him when he was a struggling footballer to Europe this dude later used this against her that she is married to another man in order to walk out of the marriage, and he's only paying 200, 000 dollars ayear for upkeep of his children which is a piece of cake for him. It wouldn't have been the same story if it was a white woman he would have been bankrupt by now.

No matter the amount one is getting either civil, public servants and politicians, if one cannot control his or her spending habits, he or she will just be living in debts.

He's got a show on brilafm

Some of you don't know how radio or media work

You can pay for airtime to promote whatever idea you have and host it yourself if you want

This is what Udeze does on radio

Its his show

I think its a 1 to 2 hours show per day.
