A Nigerian man has narrated how he had an opportunity to become a professional footballer in Australia but his angry mother burnt all his travelling documents
An X user identified as @naetochukwu01, narrated the incident as one that changed his life’s path forever.
This narration was made after the father of Tunde Onakoya, revealed how he almost stopped his son from starting the foundation.
However, the X user said he was two weeks away from achieving his dream when his ‘untamed’ gesture towards his mother ended his football career.
His mother angrily packed all his travel documents and burnt them in his presence.
“I no been wan talk but e no spoil😂. When I was 15 I got scouted to play for a team in Melbourne, Australia. Two weeks to leave for Melbourne. One faithful Sunday my mom came home from church and was yelling at me,so I hissed at her, she became furious (typical African mother).
“Then she started yelling “is it cos you want to go abroad now that you are hissing at me?, come and go now let me see you” I have to tame you, before you become untamable” she stormed my room and took my travel documents, my Jerseys and boots I had bought in Nigeria and my boxes
She took kerosene and matches , went to the backyard and set everything ablaze.
“Immediately she lit the fire and threw it in her eyes cleared. I was only able to recover my International passport. Idk if she regrets it but my life could have changed for good if not for her anger.”
