My Children Will Never Play For Nigeria – Ex Super Eagles Forward, Femi Opabunmi

Femi Opabunmi has made it clear, that he will stop any of his kids who embarks on a career in football, from representing Nigeria.

The former Golden Eaglets and Super Eagles forward is gradually losing his sight and is reported to be bankrupt.

Opabunmi says the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has ignored him in his time of need and it has gotten so bad he does not even want to watch the country play.

“Its a bad story. Sometimes I don’t want to watch Nigerian football because any day I want to do so, I cry,” Opabunmi said on a live radio programme on Top Radio on Friday.

“I don’t know if the NFF will help me now. I needed their assistance. I will like my children to play professional football in future, but I will not allow them to play for this country.

“My experience brings me bad memories. I will rather encourage them to take up nationalities of other countries and play international football elsewhere.

“I believe in God. If He says they (NFF) will do something for me, they will, and if they can’t, there’s nothing we can do.”

Opabunmi also denied that he was cursed by the lady he had promised to marry, after he ended up jilting her.

“Its not true (that I was cursed). I promised someone that I would marry her but I’m not perfect because I’m a human being,” he explained.

I totally disagree with u. Where do u live??? People. Citizens that are not footballers were taken care off in England talk less of someone who has contributed so much to d growth of the country. Abeg dial another number. Even visitors sef dey recieve good health care. Unless.they realised u are not entitled to it, they will ask u to pay but they'll not leave u to die, they'll always respond in emergency situations. That guy should be assisted in Nigeria.

NFF don't owe you. You made money and you didn't save. Am sorry that you're facing serious health issues. Nigerians citizens should stop blaming Nigerian for their failure in life.

God will see you through. However, I will advise others like you to stop blaming government for your problems. You did not play for Nigeria for free and there is no country in the world paying their footballers pension.  If Nigeria will not pay the medical bills of retired civil servants that spent 35 years in service, how then do you expect more in your own case
