A member of the Atlanta 96 Olympic Gold medal-
winning Dream Team, Kingsley Obiekwu, has again
received a donation of N1 million from the managing
director of Luckybay Homes, Ikechukwu Ujomu.
The ex-defender had opened up on his financial
struggles which he said compelled him to use his
Sienna car for commercial transport in order to
sustain himself and his family.
Mr Ujomu, who also is the chief executive officer of
Luckybay Estate and Properties Limited, confirmed
the donation to PREMIUM TIMES Saturday morning.
He said he was moved to make the donation to
Obiekwu because he was touched by the ex-
defender’s pitiful story.
“When I heard about it, I just made contact to
confirm the authenticity of the story. They sent me
his (Obiekwu’s) contact and his account details. So, I
just decided to make that donation to help him in his
situation,” Mr Ujomu said.
The entrepreneur also said he had been a long time
fan of the ex-defender during his active period in
football.
Both Mr Obiekwu and Mr Ujomu are from Ibusa in
Oshimili North Local Government Area, Delta State,
South-south Nigeria.
Mr Ujomu’s donation was coming barely two days
after Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, made a
donation of N2 million to the ex-defender.
When contacted, Obiekwu declined to confirm the
donation saying he had decided to keep every
donation from people private until further notice.
The Ingas FC coach said he was embarrassed on
Friday by his players asking him to give them money
from Ahmed Musa’s N2 million donation.
“I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I don’t
want to be going viral, (and) giving information
concerning money before people will kidnap me or
my family members. At the end of the day, I will
thank Nigerians for what they did for me,” Mr
Obiekwu said.
How it all started
On Monday, February 14, Onyeka Okoh, popularly
known as ‘Okwuluora,’ an Enugu-based journalist,
had announced via his Facebook page, that he saw
Mr Obiekwu, a former Super Eagles defender, in
Abakpa motor park, loading buses and driving Sienna
to Nsukka, a Local Government Area in Enugu State.
“I hugged and greeted him then cried like a man. He
never made it to the highest level. Where are his
teammates? I will tell Kanu Nwankwo about this,” Mr
Okoh said via a Facebook post.
“We can help lift him again if he is willing. That
environment (motor park) is not for him,” he added.
Hours after the Olympic Gold Medalist confirmed that
he ventured into transport business because of his
financial misfortune, social media space went abuzz
with many Nigerians calling for assistance, from
well-to-do Nigerians including former teammates, for
the struggling ex-footballer.
Ahmed Musa, the Super Eagles skipper, began what
could result in an avalanche, after contacting
Obiekwu, on Wednesday.

Your second Chance Prayer has been answered. Go and sin no
more, hence make good use of the profit of your second chance, of course third chance is not always there.
If you doubt me, ask OBJ and his third term agenda and where he landed him. I have warned you.
To those who make this second chance a reality may you never lack and remember there are more out there who need your support also.

This is Obiejwus time to shine. Let the Naira rain continue. Congrats and God bless Ahmed Musa for unlocking the door of fortune
