Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins rejected $1.5 million deal to play in Saudi Arabia due to oil-rich kingdom.

The 35-year-old who played for English clubs Newcastle United and Birmingham City has been searching for a new club since returned from a torn muscle fiber injury he picked up at his last club in Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenhua in May 2018.

‪It is the first time since he began his professional career in 2001 that Martins has been without a club and he has insisted he has received several offers and he has not quit the game yet but incidentally, the former Nigeria international plans to soon open a top-class night club in Lagos.

"He was very open about why he will not move to Saudi Arabia,” the source informed SCORENigeria

"He says being part of the nightclubbing scene takes the pressure off him and without this, he cannot enjoy his football.”

Martins who has had spells in, Italy, England, Germany, Russia, Spain, America and China and he will be remembered for scoring Birmingham City's winner in their 2-1 Carling Cup final victory over Arsenal in 2011 - the club's first silverware since 1963. ‬

‪Nigeria's fifth all-time top scorer with 18 goals, he played in three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in 2006, 2008 and 2010, as well as the FIFA World Cup in 2010.‬

These players only have passion for opening night clubs instead of industries or mechanised farming.
I wish obafemi well but he should be ready to buy generator and enough diesel for hotel or club biz

Hmmm... Meanwhile I know someone in my Villa, they have been calling him Messi since we were kids. Cos of the way he dribbles and disgrace us anytime we are playing football.

Till today, he never play for even Enyimba.
If life is fair, this kin opportunity suppose reach his side. But the rich will keep getting richer.

1.5 million dollars na small money.

Damnnnnn

Open something else niggarrr

They keep on opening hotels, night clubs, beer Parlours and play house

Funny enough people will always patronise these places
Anyday, anytime twice on Sunday

If you see huge crowds in this places you begin to ask yourself is there really poverty in the land

Lol!







This news reminds me of what happened in 1938, so pathetic.

You will take the deal by the time you realise you are broke.

And you think Martins is not wealthy enough to own two night clubs in lagos,

He says being part of the nightclubbing scene takes the pressure off him and without this, he cannot enjoy his football.”

Obagoal rejected HALF A BILLION NAIRA in just a year just because he won't be able to go clubbing for that period in time?

Person wey get head no get cap,
person wey get cap no get head.

It is well!

I guess his not feeling the heat of rice problem that why... Anyway best of luck if he finally choose to play in Mexico this time
