Ndidi- Life as a footballer at university

[Damunk]

Nice one, but how come he didn’t have any opportunity to study in Nigeria. We have problems, but there are some things we have done right too.

I'm sure something is missing in the translation. Maybe he meant playing football and going to school was difficult but the Western media could interpret it stereotypically.

Yeah I saw that rubbish too.

Well done Ndidi. Good head on his shoulders. Hopefully the business degree will also help in post football life to invest his earnings wisely and not fall off the wagon like so many pro athletes.

Ndidi completes his Business and Management diploma and aims to go on to a business degree.
Congrats Ndidi!
Making us proud every day.

Exactly. University educated professional footballers are exceptionally rare. The number of university graduates in the Premier League is probably less than 0.5%.
