Besides being pundits on tv, does anyone know what business ventures 9ja footballers invest in? I know Kanu has hotels and our favorite Aboki invested in gas stations...any others?

I met one Naija player at Atlanta airport. He played in one of the U-17 world cups.
He was cleaning

Difference between Nigerians and European players, they keep some sponsorship even after retirement, you really had to be on top of your game to earn top dollars , some Nigerian players have earned good money enough to see them through retirement, if you earned an average of 25K-40K pounds a week for up to 5 to 7 years, if you are quite sound financially, should not be an issue, if you are the likes of Mikel and earned 80K-100K a week, well you are set for life
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

There's hardly any info out there on the web to help this quest. Spent a few minutes yesterday googling The Headmaster. I was not any wiser from when I started.

And I selected him because I saw his picture when I searched for 1994/98 SE.

20k to 40k a week for 7 years is not enough to set for life when you compare the life style this youth today live.
Have you check their bills?Some buying cars from 200k dollars.
