For Yekini to die without help for is mental state raises alots of questions about the Nigerian Sport administration. Aleast, someone who know about is mental condition should have come forward to let the Nigerian people know is condition and what is needed to help him, but is too late. RI

That's a dirty lie,Yekini was never living in poverty ,but there were reports that he had mental health issues.

So many sad things have been heard about Rasheed Yekini in recent times,ranging from alleged mental stress to spiritual attack. But Rasheed Yekini,the once beautiful bride of the Super Eagles is now dead!!.

Contrary to report making the round that he is homeless, he actually has a four bedroom flat on Ring Road,beside the famous Oni & Sons complex in the ancient town where he stays.

Though,he was said to have gone broke for years,the death of his confidant,one Ibraheem,a very wealthy bureau de change operator in Sabo area of Ibadan turned things for the worse for him.

The ex soccer star was reported to be leaning on Ibraheem for his financial needs,before the guy(Ibrahim) was hacked down by notorious armed bandits,who raided his shop and shot him dead.

The incident, it was further gathered, nearly turned him into destitute, as he had to cope with loneliness.

However, sources close to him informed us that his family who had initially abandoned him to his fate had come to his rescue.

He was trying to venture into a new business after unsuccessful attempts in the past.

May your soul find eternal rest Rashidi Yekini.
Restitution of our sins of negligence is needed before our country Nigeria move towards attainment of development.

90s Radio football commentary: Player A Passes the ball to player B and player B provides a cross into the 18yard box. And it's em, it's emmm...AND IT IS A GOOOAAALLLL!!!!!...One goal to NIGERIA....RASHIDI YEKINIIII!!!...MAY HIS HEROIC SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE, AMEN.

Rest In Peace Rashidi Yekini

You sure had your time as a hero. I remember you as Africa's most lethal striker. I also remember you as that quiet,shy guy whose face showed personal struggles. I remember you sitting with Mallams at Adamasingba on Fridays, waiting to pray. I remember you frowning when buying fuel for your generator at AP Dugbe! You served Nigeria and made us proud. God bless you and give you eternal rest, Rashid Yekini.

Chai this is very very sad
