Natures Gentle Touch said...

Some parents hire coaches like lesson teachers to coach them after school.

Many a mother has her daughter playing soccer as well. I hear a number of them from Nigeria play in youth clubs in England during the summer and get paid.

The same way mothers take their daughters to modelling agencies to get jobs.

The money athletes,models, musicians and actors make from endorsements is unbelievable.

When they make it they really make a difference to their families. At least the third world ones.

Duchess said...

sweerrypie i trafull o...gist plenti no be small...will talk abt it later...so watchout, its coming out soon(lol)....mumsy is still on it o...bur i see changes everyday. thnks for ur concern gal.

NATURES GENTLE TOUCH:

hope o wa pa. howz Oga??

Dee said...

Baba ibeji is just a typical local man who thinks with such huge money he can rule the world! Too bad for him! Yes the players are "linked" with so much money... how much of it do they really take home? After all deductions...

That is my point! When we chase after money we loose focus! Life is not ALL about money! I know that one need money to get things moving etc. But do you know that the more money you have the more responsibilities you'll have? And of course when you turn down requests from family and friends you are tagged a selfish fellow!

Don't get me wrong o! I'll encourage any child to do after school activities but I will not force that child into something he/she dislikes. Baba ibeji should be educated of the likes of Dora, Prof Soyinka and other non-footballers who have made money from their various professions.

On a lighter note - if na only me my son no go play football sha. lol

LG said...

YAR MAMA: u can say dat again dear,
have u seen d 42yrs old man/contestant (i.e if he's not older)in the on-going football reality show with 'fash'??
