Quote Of The Day: "Where Was Everybody When Rashidi Yekini Needed Help".....Kanu Nwankwo

Kanu Nwankwo

Late Rashidi Yekini

"It is a shame that they allowed the man to rust away like that when they know about his predicament. Yekini has done so much for the country and deserved to be taken care of, but unfortunately all of them turned deaf ears only to apply medicine after death," he said.

,"Yekini was a dedicated player with a good heart; he was someone who wanted to give back to the society. I think it’s always good to remember and honour people when they are alive than wait until they die. Yekini should have been celebrated when he was alive"Those who gave everything in the service of their country must be accorded the desired attention at all times. Yekini suffered and died like an orphan. Today, everybody is lamenting over his death. Nobody cared for him while he was alive and suffering,”

"I am not only referring to footballers alone but to other individuals. We (the players) will on our part come together and think of what to do for his children," he added.
