If you have the opportunity to relocate in your 20s to 30s, trust me it’s worth giving a shot.
What’s the worst thing that will happen? You go back home if you don’t like it here.
But you won’t be young forever, you might grow older to desire it but age and policies will be against you.
André Onana saving a penalty when it mattered for Trabzonspor and even making a spectacular save to keep them in the game, before later going on to win the final 😳
On a sad note, a footballer that is supposed to travel on saturday went to play football yesterday just to stay in shape , he was dazzling and scoring , and the next thing was “KPA” ,
The leg is gone , guess what, nobody hit him…
🚨 From Nigeria 🇳🇬 to Sudan🇸🇩
Ex-Super Eagles 🇳🇬🦅 player Sunday Adetunji has switched allegiance to Sudan 🇸🇩.
Adetunji, 28, joined Al Hilal (Omdurman) in the Sudanese Premier League in 2025 from a Kosovan side, FC Ballkani.
Sunday established himself as a top player in Sudan 🇸🇩 by helping Al Hilal to CAF Champions League quarterfinal in his first season.
Players in Sudan, Libya, Rwanda, etc, earn millions of dollars every month.
If you are a footballer above the "transferable age" for European market, please drop your career ambition and go for the money.
If they offer you citizenship, take it with gladness and plan for life after football with your monthly pay.
If you are from a humble background, take education seriously. Education gives you opportunities that you’d only dream of.
Don’t play with your education.
I travelled to Spain for a tournament with some players and the experience with food was eye opening. Players would eat 3 large pieces of chicken at the buffet style dinner, they will be filled to the brim and then keep extra pieces of chicken in pockets to take to their rooms…
If you’re a young Nigerian and you feel like you didn’t make progress this year, please read this slowly.
Progress is not always money.
Progress is not always relocation.
Progress is not always a new car, title, or house.
In Nigeria, staying sane is progress.
Choosing not to be bitter is progress.
Learning a skill while the system frustrates you is progress.
Refusing crime when crime looks like the fastest way out is progress.
Progress is waking up every day in a country that keeps moving the goalpost and still choosing hope.
Some of you:
•Supported your family on a small income
•Paid school fees with stress and dignity
•Didn’t give up when your plans collapsed
•Survived inflation, fear, uncertainty, and silence
That is not failure.
That is resilience under extreme pressure.
The world measures success in years.
Nigeria measures it in endurance.
If you’re still standing, still dreaming, still learning, still trying you are not late. You are being forged.
History does not remember those who had it easy.
It remembers those who survived impossible systems and still built greatness.
One day, the same world ignoring you today will call your story “inspiring.”
Keep going.
