During a recent Instagram livestream, he expressed disbelief that athletes earn millions just to play a game while nurses, teachers, and other vital workers earn much less. He aired his stance that professional football players should play more often to warrant their hefty fees and salaries.
“They say footballers want to go on strike. They said they want to strike, where are the rich pan-Africans? The football they’re playing is too much. Footballers are paid millions just to chase a ball around a field. For the amount of money they are paid, they should be playing every day. Personally, I know boys who aren’t paid a dime yet they play on the field every day.”
