Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has mentioned that he used to hawk groundnut for his mother and also wash windshields in Lagos traffic.

The Leicester Football player stated this in an interview with ESPN FC.

Wilfred Ndidi who has travelled with the national team to Russia for the 2018 World Cup, said he hawked different types of fruits and foodstuff ranging from pepper to tomatoes.

“At that time, I was jack of all trade while my mum was selling, I’ll go and hawk for her. I sold different types of fruits and not even only fruit; I sold peppers, tomatoes, I sold groundnuts. Sometimes, they call me ‘omo elepa’. That is groundnut boy.

“And then sometimes, when I finish selling, I go to do a quick one for myself. I go for wiping glass of cars, cleaning and If I see I’m not making money, I can quickly go to buy pure water and start selling there. I was doing so many things; I was really doing so many things but it was okay.”

Ndidi said the highest he ever earned during his traffic hawking days was N3,000.

“My best, I would say was making N3000. I finished selling so quick. I went to do the wiping thing for myself, just four different things I did in a day,” the midfielder said.

He added;

“I was so happy going home because I was saving to buy my football shoes.”

And all that are in the past now my Super lad... Right now is the time to rise and bring on your A game for the Super Eagles.

Just this past season, Ndidi emerged as the EPL's undisputed leader in the tackling stats and even finished as one of the top leading DMs in Europe's top five leagues for tackling and interceptions. A super feat he achieved despite having his season prematurely halted by a hamstring strain on April 28.

But now Ndidi the warrior is back and come Saturday, Croatia must fall.... #SoarSuperEagles

Ndidi, our tackling octopus is ready for battle.

Meanwhile, Ndidi and his Super Eagles teammates will be the youngest squad in Russia but certainly not the least talented.... I tip Ndidi to shine in Russia and increase his growing reputation as he evolves little by little into a world class central/defensive midfielder.

This one is to garner sympathy or what?

He's not even a spectacular player.

wow

We all have our stories to tell. It's hope that keep us going on.

Every glory has its story though.....we all have story tin is everytn seems to be trending.(but in all i guess it only an inspiration for us to be focused on our goal in life irrespective of our life challenges.
