Nigerian
players are using their affluence to impact the lives of the less
privileged especially children and motherless babies. From Obafemi
Martins to Kanu Nwankwo, the story is the same – of young Nigerians who
came from a humble background but haven’t forgotten their roots
entirely.
Just
recently, Super Eagles skipper, Joseph Yobo, visited the Hearts of Gold
Children’s hospice in Surulere to make donations and spend some time
with the children there.
Yobo,
who apologized on behalf of his wife, Adaeze and his son, Joey, who
couldn’t make the visit because of school, donated food stuffs, a
generating set, and a lot of other valuables as part of giving back to
society through his pet project, the Joseph Yobo charity
organization, said:
“I
was touched with the condition of the kids. It is sad to know that some
of them will still die. I am happy to have put a smile on their faces
and give them hope to survive. I could have been like any of them but
for God’s mercy.”
Yobo also visited House of Mercy in Ebute Meta, Yaba and Fair Life Africa Foundation, Lekki.
