SRSport.com gathered from a source in Kwara State who revealed that life has been pretty difficult for the Yekini’s family since the death of the former African football king.
It was also gathered that Alhaja Sidikat cried out for help few months ago, after revealing that ‘life has been difficult for her’ since the passing of her son.
“My son has served this country, and I want the government and other people to come to our aid because It would not be good for me to die in this situation,” she pleaded.
Yekini scored 37 goals in 58 appearances for the Super Eagles and died in May 2012 at the age of 48. He remains the highest goal scorer for the Super Eagles with 37 goals and represented Nigeria in five major tournaments, including two FIFA World Cup competitions in USA ‘94 and France ‘98 respectively.

You can tell that to Mr. Buhari…
God will punish THE NIGERIAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.
Stupid and useless country that doesn’t that doesn’t take care of their past heroes. Can u imagine.
What he did with all his money being payed as a footballer
Bread is not N60 abeg.
Clearly regionalism is naija cure but they say you can delay but never deny a destiny.
Dats Nigeria for u…. Who can we blame for that but the leaders
Ask ur self how much are they paying Nigerian footballer then…
Nawa for dis country sef, big shame on NIGERIA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
He played football and being paid. It was mismanagement.
haha
God bless u Aniakor
Mama God will Take care of you amen
Not a surprise, this is Africa everyone for himself God for all, what do you expect from greedy men who don’t give a sh*t to legends but their own selfish wicked lives. Its a pity though.
Please,for God sake let government help this old woman
Stupid question. At okeffe. Well how old are you self???
Contact me for a visa to canada.usa.australia
I’m sure Aniakar whether it’s a little amount or more he should have invested in something to leave for his mum,playing football it’s not only a game but a job which some ppl take with passion,its not good to judge but would like to know the answer to my question till then the answer to that question is still open
Aniakor..10,000 pounds or dollars per week was a big money back then, even now..
NFF NFA and Nigeria’s footballers association if there’s any should please come to her rescue. Okocha, Kanu, Stephen Coach Keshi should please help the woman
Lol funny so other footballers back then re so poor now right ! He was a big name during his time and he made so much in Portugal! Dafuk we talking about !
Nigeria has got nothing do do with this !He made so much in Portugal during his time! Just been greedy ! Mama God will see u throu !U0001f64fU0001f3ffU0001f64fU0001f3ffU0001f64fU0001f3ff
I feel 4 her
Ikenna ik questions are made to be ask because that’s how ppl learn no question is stupid,its your way of thinking and not understanding what is written why it’s stupid to you
I hope so, but mind you most Nigerians hate charity, because of their greed.
Rashidi no plan his life well
I think this is simply Rashidi’s fault.He played for super eagles and also played in Europe so U can’t tell me that he didn’t have enough money to make some good investment so that his family will not go broke.we can’t blame Goverment for everything.
@Ikena, the way u reason is the exact reason why Africa Wil never develop. Was Yekini not paid as a professional footballer according to how players were paid at the time? Come to Ghana and see what players of his age group invested their so called little money in. U guys should stop relying on others for your future. If u claim he was not paid what he was due, what would our grandparents who served in the national armies for almost free of charge say
Ha Nigerian story
So sad..even when rasheed was alive,no goverment remember to help him,he ended up like ordinary man on the street.,pa Michael Taiwo Akinwunmi who design Nigeria National flag is living in poor condition till now and no one has ever remember him!what a country.
Oh so sad..
U people are calling on goverment to interven, how many old people in Nigeria will they interven for , whatmake her different from others, thank God she is healthy, what of those that are old and sick, and I belive she have other children.
yes but what of the country he served, forget about individual Halp let talk about Nigeria government,
He had housed in Ibadan
What the hell is wrong with humanity??
Even if he didn’t invest on anything, can’t d country help her? C’on d woman is old. Nigeria is so poor abt helping themselves! Wat dey think of is to knw hw to embezzle money.
Rubbish talk he died in his estate in Ibadan, family members took control of the property
Atleast she has something doing
Felix Amity: There is nothing wrong in posting it on Facebook. It will create awareness and make those who want to help to help the poor woman. You need to have your brains reset. Why are those with Kidney, Heart and Cancer patients going on social media is it not to solicit for funds? You really do nott know the power of social media. Some people are even liken the nonsense you posted.
And our political lords are there looking at the post dejectedly without looking ways to re-enforce her financially. Her son served this country passionately before the cold ice descended on him yet they didn’t look ways to help her or but they knew ways to siphon the money. The vacuum left behind is now glaring than ever. The dead are not sleeping and their cries might be the problems which now web Nigeria. Retrace your steps so that your end will be an honour not only to you or your family, but for the nation in general.
Money has wings… you don’t plan when you have it… it flies.
Stupid pple, shameless country…all dey think of is how to embezzle.
Yeah, that was why I mentioned NFA in my comment . Mr Obinna C C
Nff ned to help the family
Hw does it concern us,man who refused to plan himself say na which de worry am
This is to bad wallahi o
How this one take concern government now?
That’s y is always important to invest well wen you have the money and opportunity
U don’t have to wait for your nation to help you, why can’t will think how will can help our nation out, for the woman is only God almighty that can send helper to her, is you are looking for help u people do stay there for longtime to everything there is a season I pray that God will restore back there glory in Jesus name amen
Am sure you now knew the condition of d poor woman, if you fail to contribute or help her condition, thunder will fire you, idiot
Very very sad, Nigeria
So there is no good Samaritan around her area??? Its a pity
lesson, wen GOD blesses u dnt eat with ur ten fingers so you ‘ll ave smetin to rely on wen sunset. nigeria dnt rememba heroes
She is different bcs, she gave birth to a man that served his country even unto death, Rashidi Yekini his a legend, he made Nigeria proud he was d 1st Nigeria to scored in World cup. He as done dis county proud many time.
It happens to every living thing “No condition is permanent”
Such is life
But they paid him
I guess he engaged himself in some deal dat ran him down. He got mentally retarded before he eventually died. I feels so sorry for him.
Ayodele Stephen Agunbiade sharaap we r all serving d country in one way or d oda…. U will first ask urself wat happened to his money, cos I know made from playing football… So if d mother is now bread seller she’s not different from any other Nigerian who struggling to survive.
You ll know What happened to him wasn’t ordinary if you had followed his life story
Why would government help Rasheed Yekini when he was alive? He got paid for every single contract he signed. He earned enough money to look after himself and his family. If you ask me I will say government should help the less privileged not people that make millions….
When you block the source you yourself becomes broke ,a life lesson .

How can you prove he got paid for all With the corrupt system of football management we had in Nigeria? Our heroes deserves continual compensation even after their resignation.. Their records can’t be abolished in the nation history

What is wrong with we Africans, we like to use, misuse, and abuse our icons. This is a man who brought glory to his fatherland,, not only on the continent but globally, and to hear his mother has to sell bread for survival in indeed a disgrace to the giant of Africa. Please do something for this woman, Nigeria, do not disgrace your self, after all her son duels paid his dues to his father land.
Hv u guys forgotten time changes?
Atleast she is not depending on anybody
To all never blame anybody, and never jump to conclusion, there’s no FACT in this life, what u do dt walk out good for U, might just turn around for others. Rasheed yekini didn’t dead broke, and to some extend he’s not selfish just dt he’s not a Social person like other footballer. Mama selling bread doesn’t mean she’s not living fine. Most of Old mum of her age doesn’t like to b idle.
Maybe he didn’t marry woman that can help him plan his life you no we have different kinds of women my husband is famous I want to belong or he left! B4 and marry now you know what I mean maybe after he became famous he watin pas am mama God is on your side am sure you told him truth and that you are not mama milk and bounvita to crown it all it is well may the lord put our love in our children heart may we not berry any of our children in Jesus name Amen too bad
But rashidi yekini left alot houses that an agent sold or managing for his daughters,so why can’t the kids help their grand mum out? Government here government there,must government do everything?
Its not too late you can help
So what’s sad if she can do something for herself to survive I see no wrong on doing that she is not beging well done mother
If be how government or ppl helps everyone will be rich
