They brought our nation to the global glory of winning the very first World’s Junior World Cup in 1985 and exposed the name of Nigeria to the world of football. But the Military government then led by Buhari failed to reward our shinning football stars and lately the civilian governments failed to reward them until now.
Despite showing gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for remembering to honour the class of 1985 members of the Nigerian U-16 team that won the first edition of the FIFA cadet championship held in China, a member of the group, Hilary Adike has vowed never to allow any of his children to play football for the country.
Adike who was among the players who got the sum of N2 million from the federal government more than 30 years after they put the name of the country on the world map said it was unfortunate that it only took the return of Buhari to power for them to be rewarded even after other compatriots who achieved the same feat much more later were adequately rewarded by the same nation. He spoke to Correspondent Jude Opara. Excerpts.
How do you feel being rewarded by Nigeria after such a long time?
Yes we were termed government property, that we should not go out, that the country was going to look after us to the extent that whatever school we wanted to go to, we would go, that what ever thing we wanted to achieve in life that they would take care of us. The euphoria made them promise heaven on earth. But they abandoned us to the extent that I was on my way to Italy to play football with three of my colleagues, we were arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos and told that we could not leave this country because we were Nigerian property. I think that their plan was to keep us, continue to train us and see us graduate to the Super Eagles. But restricting us to the country was a bad approach. We were restrained from going to make a good life for ourselves. Then after 30 years, we are being given N2 million.
(cuts in) Yes, yes, I agree and that is why I said that we are very grateful to Mr. President for remembering that. But then, my heart bleeds because these Golden Eaglets(Emmanuel Amuneke’s current squad) and the subsequent ones after our time, they were all allowed to go out and play, make good money and improve on their lives, why were we restrained?
But some of your colleagues like Jonathan Akpborie still went out to play professional football?
Yes, yes now you are talking, let me tell you something, about five years ago if you had wanted to buy a player like Mario Ballitoli you would pay high, but today will you pay such a high amount of money for him? No, so it is always a good thing when you are still hot. We were not allowed to leave immediately after our victory when the opportunities were many. At the the particular point in time when we were hot we were restrained from getting something as hotcakes. So over time we were forgotten. In my own case I got injured, I had problem with my knees so I couldn’t make any progress in my professional career. Had it been I was allowed to travel then, I know what I would have achieved with my life.
So presently what are you doing?
Right now, I am lecturing in a school in Port Harcourt. Thank God that he gave me brain to go to school and further my education, got my Masters and all that so I lecture in a school and that is what has been putting food on my table.

Because they recognize talents over there, whatever you do in developed counties you are recognised based on your capacity. Talent pays. Here it’s like they look at certain talents and say these ones are not important, like it is for fun and that is the reason my colleagues used to call me ‘professor’ because my father never joked with education. They used to look at me as somebody who was brainy who should not play football, as if it should be only for the dropouts and the dullards. I had passion for football. Let me tell you the truth, there was a time I failed my exams and my dad put all my football kits together and burnt them all and warned that if I failed my exams again I would be in trouble and would finally stop playing football. I had to sit up and had good results again. The next day he replaced all my football kits and that was how I realised that education is the key.
Then why are you still talking like you are unhappy?
Yes I was able to make something out of my life through education, but what of my other colleagues? Today it looks as if education is no longer the key because you can do other things and make money, good for them, they are enjoying it but we were not that lucky. We were treated like guinea pigs. We set the pace. Who ever believed that Africans could so play football this good if not for my set?
Finally, what is your message about President Buhari?
Actually, he is doing a good job and all Nigerians must support him. When a nation is in this situation that we are, we must have to sacrifice for us to get to the level he wants to take us to. So for that he has done okay, I say God bless him. In fact when I shook his hands I said ‘Mr. President God bless you’. God should really bless him. I think this is my quota to the sacrifice to take Nigeria where she ought to be but if we don’t get there, my heart will continue to bleed.
I remembered how these guys made us (Nigeria) so proud back then. I was in secondary school and the matches were televised live and these guys dazzled like bright stars. Simply awesome. They put us on the world football history book by making Nigeria the first country to win the very first FIFA Junior World Cup Championship.My name is Oludami Yomi-Alliyu. And I’d like to show you how to make an extra 6 figures monthly writing, without having to work for cheap and frustrating clients.
The first thing I want to mention is that if you’ve failed at building a successful writing/freelance writing business (or any business for that matter) in the past, it’s not your fault. There’s a lot of information out there, and it can be confusing. Many times that information overload keeps you from success. It’s okay.
If you’ve been concerned in the past that you just can’t succeed as a writer, especially in Nigeria, I want to put those fears to rest. You can do this. You just need the right person to show you how.
 I’m here to tell you they’re wrong. They have their reasons for wanting you to think that, but it’s not true.
The difference with some of us is that we actually care about your success and truly want to see you live the life of your dreams – the wealthy writer’s life.
I know you have big dreams and want to make an impact in the world, and I want to show you how to make that happen!
That’s why I documented the exact steps I took to becoming a successful freelance writer that earns an extra 6 figures monthly from writing part-time. And if you follow same steps, you can earn even 7 figures every month, if you do this full time.
And even for those who don’t want to do the writing, you’ll learn how to run a successful freelance writing business without being the writer.

I’m Oludami Yomi-Alliyu, a copywriter and digital marketing professional. I run RenegadeCommerce, a digital marketing company. But I also run a successful freelance writing business on the side.
I offer my writing services to a few top clients like NairaBET in Nigeria (been heading a content team for them since 2017) and SweetProcess in the USA.
Over my writing career I’ve had the opportunity to be published in major global publications like Entrepreneur.com, ThriveGlobal, EcommerceNation, etc.
I’ve also had the opportunity to write for international companies like Shopify, Bluehost, Oberlo and tons of others.
And yes, I also own a few ecommerce brands, like BeauCrest.
Even though my income also comes from ecommerce and digital marketing services and products, freelance writing contributes to a big part of my monthly income – some lazy months I make half a million Naira. Not bad for a “side hustle”!
What I’ve not told you is that I launched my freelance writing career in 2011 when I was in my final year in the university…BUT I didn’t really succeed as a freelance
