NIGERIA FOOTBALL CORRUPTION

The Mavin artist stated that after initially being selected to join a national youth squad in 2015, he was unfairly removed from the team.

 

He recounted his struggle with depression during that year, as he couldn’t secure university admission like his friends. While his friends enjoyed college life, he felt stuck in his neighborhood without any direction.

 

Despite being skilled in football and earning the nickname ‘Coutinho,’ his dreams of becoming a professional player faced obstacles.

He revealed corruption issues within Nigerian football without naming individuals.

 

He shared an incident at Surulere National Stadium where influential officials deceived him and replaced him with someone with connections and money, which led to his disappointment and depression.
