Former Super Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu has tasked Nigerians to strive
to honour their heroes while they are still alive instead of crying
‘out their eyes’ and making eulogies at their death.
Nwankwo who said he was still in shock over the death of former Nigeria
international, Rashidi Yekini. asked, “where was everybody when the man
needed help"?
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,”
Kanu who has been chosen by the International Olympic Committee as one
of the 2012 Olympic torch bearers in London said he was sad at the death
of Yekini whom he said was their source of inspiration as young
players in the national team.
“Although one does not pray for such things to happen. The question is, today it is Yekini, who’ll be next?”
