late Yekini |
I recall, with great nostalgia, the days when
one of my personal football heroes, Rashidi Yekini, used to prey on the
defenses of our opponents with the stealth, strength and speed of the
panther.
His skills and goals brought a lot of joy to
our homes and our hearts. Sadly, we failed to repay this great
Nigerian's patriotism and sacrifice and the Almighty Allah took him away
from us exactly one year ago. We can do nothing more for Yekini...but
we must immortalized him in our hearts and honour him by ensuring that
our great sports men and women are treated fairly. They give the country
their best years - their gift of youth and strength. The least we can
do is be there for them when those gifts are spent. Rest in peace,
Rashidi Yekini ......................Nuhu Ribadu
