Ex Super Eagle Superstar, Femi Opabunmi Allegedly Spotted Begging on the Streets of Ibadan

Opabunmi represented Nigeria at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan and had a total of three caps for the Super Eagle before he retired. The former winger who has been trailed with reports of financial difficulties is said to have turned to a beggar in Ibadan.

According  sources it was revealed that the former Shooting Stars forward has resorted to begging after he an eye surgery years ago ended his career.
"He practically begs from anyone he spots. If you see him and greet him like an ex-footballer he is, the next thing is for him to ask you for money and his slogan has always been, ‘I don’t know what my wife and kids will eat today, we have nothing at home," a source told us. Opabunmi could be located somewhere around Ring Road, the street beside Echos bar.
He played for a few clubs, including Shooting Stars FC, Grasshoppers Zürich (Switzerland) and Chamois Niortais in France.

He studied at Methodist High School Ibadan and played for the Methodist High School Ibadan Old Boys. Serious eyes problems stopped his career since 2006.
Opabunmi scored a goal to help Nigeria win the African U-17 Championships in 2001.
He was a key player at 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship where he scored a hat-trick against Australia and won the Silver Shoe as second highest goalscorer and also the Bronze Ball as third best player in the tournament, helping Nigeria to reach the final where they lost to France.
