I'll Never Allow My Children to Play for Nigeria - Femi Opabunmi


Former Super Eagles forward Femi Opabunmi has said he will stop any of his kids who embarks on a career in football, from representing Nigeria.

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

“It’s 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.
