Life can be cruel Yes. He never made it to the highest level Yes but where are his teammates. I will tell Kanu Nwankwo about this. They won Olympics together in Atlanta. Obiekwu last made headline when his younger brother died in the field of play. A NATIONAL HERO, AN IDOL TO MILLIONS, AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST. We can help lift him again IF he is willing. That environment is not for him."
Giving an update on the issue, Adepoju, revealed that Ahmed Musa, has donated the sum of N2,000,000 to Kingsley Obiekwu.
