The funeral of Isaac Promise, the former Nigeria youth captain, took place in the south-eastern town of Umudim, Ohekelem, Imo State.

Promise, 31, died of a suspected heart attack in early October in the United States, according to American second-tier side Austin Bold.

Clad in black, the family gathered three months after his death to attend the burial ceremony.

Despite representing his country at all youth level, he was buried in a low-key ceremony with a no-show from top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials.

"We sent out the programme in December, but there was no representative from the football community," a family member told us this, 

"Imagine a former captain of Nigeria and there was no NFF representatives among the audience, and not even a former teammate.

Nigerians is the most ungrateful bunch of people i have ever seen,
Or is it because he is an igbo?
.......modified.......
The same way they treated Oshoala

Audio parastatal

See, most of us who were given birth to into a humble and low environment, we just gotta get out of this shithole...

it's a pity

So sorry brother R.I.P MAN

Amaju Melvin Pinnick is the most useless NFF president I have ever seen

Rest on bro..
NFF made up of self centered people whose only language they understand is embezzlement and misappropriation

Damn

And someone would expect Tammy Abraham to think twice

This is Nigeria

You expect them to honour the dead when they owe living pensioners their entitlements.

Even if the nitwits in the NFF and Ministry of Sports are irresponsible, Ihedioha and the Imo state government should have given this guy a befitting state burial.

If it is to demolish grave now, that's when Ihedioha would be seen in action.

You are an Igbo man, why didn't you attend?

Is the Governor of Imo state not an Igbo man? Or Imo doesn't have a State Ministry of Sports? Please don't talk like a fool and bring tribalism into this matter.

Imagine! No single NFF member, no single former fellow players. This is disgusting!

Rip man

They are only there to make their lives better by stealing and embezzling money

Your burial will bring them no money

Rip

Fvck them all

DesChyko:
Damn

And someone would expect Tammy Abraham to think twice

because dead people are so concerned about who shows up for their funeral....


The most striking thing here is

"Not even a former team mate...."

What kind of relationship did he have with his former colleagues that none of them could make themselves available? If you were a President in any Union and no one from the Union, not even those who served with you could show up at your funeral, then something must have gone terribly wrong.

Yu

Anoda example of why dis country is not worth dying for....... Mtcheewww

Touching

I remember this Isaac Promise very well at one of the U21. He was very influential among his peers

What a country, this country weak me like injection.

NFA means No future Ambition

Enough Said.

Almangiri Republic of Nigeria for the Real slave Niggas

RIP. Nigeria sha

Isaac promise is dead? chai

Samson Siasia that's facing corruption charges begging for money all over radio stations said noone, not even players he brought to super eagles like Mikel has even called him to say hi.

Look at Christian Chukwu that was sick almost to death abandoned (If not for the timely intervention of Otedola)

That is why I will swear for anyone that asks a diaspora player to choose Nigeria over England.

RIP bro! You worth more than this, if for nothing but your contributions to Nigeria football history. MTBB

Nobody will come so you don't kee them too with juju... As in you keed you own son of the soil!! #japka! Imo village ppl, I hail una!!

He's from the wrong part of the country. They don't care about the 5%

What do you expect from a Federation that could not vote for it's players claiming they got the mail late while Botswana, Burundi and Sudan got the mail.

RIP young man and rest in the Bosom of the Lord.

Nobody seems to care about anything in Nigeria. We are inherently stupid
