Ahmed Musa Gift 500k to Bassey Etim, Former Nigerian Olympian Weightlifter Now Filling Potholes in Lagos Roads

 

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has reached out to Bassey Etim, who was spotted around the Ajah axis of Lagos, filling potholes. A clip on social media went viral showing the former Nigerian weightlifter filling potholes at a failed section of the Ado-Badore road in Lagos. 

Speaking with Oc_Cares, Etim said:

I sustained an injury, and when I came back, Nigeria refused to take care of my injury, so I had to use my life savings to go back to America in September 1985 to take care of the injury. “But I still come out to volunteer myself to give back to my country. People are saying, ‘why should you do that? They didn’t take care of you'.” 

In a chat with Sports Brief, the most-capped Super Eagles player Ahmed Musa confirmed that he sent the 1982 Commonwealth gold medalist half a million Naira.
