From private jets to life lessons: Former Nigerian striker Jonathan Akpoborie warns young footballers about the cost of living large.
Former Nigerian striker, Jonathan Akpoborie, has cautioned young footballers against living lavish lifestyles.
Speaking in an interview with Elegbete TV Sports, the 55-year-old said: “I grew up in Ajegunle. I saw everywhere before I travelled from Nigeria. There is always a difference, you know, when you close your eyes.
As I’m here now, in the evening, my friends might call me and I am in Ajegunle. Sometimes, I am coming back from America, I drop my bag at home here, and I am in Ajegunle.
That difference — you close your eyes & you are in Ajegunle. If you cannot learn from that, there is nothing that will be able to teach you. The problem when you have money, it pushes you to do a lot of things.
If you don’t get control, you will lose it & when you lose it, it is a deep fall. That is why I am praying for these young ones that are playing now that they should be very wise.
