PFAN president, Tijani Babangida thanks Roda JC former players, begs Nigeria players Union to unite
Former Nigeria Super Eagles winger, Tijani Babangida has urged former footballers in Nigeria to put aside their differences and work together noting that it is only through that they can achieve their goals and aspirations.
The PFAN president who was recently in the news when he was involved in a ghastly motor accident which resulted in the death of his younger brother Ibrahim and his son Fadeel, and his wife still recovering in a European hospital courtesy the efforts of the former Players of Roda JC of Holland noted that it was only possible because of the unity among the former players.
And as a way to make him more relaxed and take his mind away from the accident, the former players also hosted him to a GET WELL DINNER. They reiterated their commitment to ensuring total support for Tijani Babangida and wife until full recovery.
TJ as he is most called by his admirers stressed that this is what is expected of players Union rather than fighting for what does not matter at all. In their own words; “this is what players must do, players must be there for each other during and after football because they have become one family as a result’.
Tijani Babangida who was filled with gratitude noted that his desire is to see such a generous and supportive spirit among Nigeria players both current and former players.
“We cannot wait for outsiders to support and assist us all the time. We must put programs in place to support ourselves just as it is here in Europe and other advanced countries. Each generation of players must watch out for themselves, put programs in place that they can easily fall back to.
“We will gain nothing fighting ourselves, we can only gain if we come together to support ourselves. This is my prayer and this is what I will pursue when I return to Nigeria,”
Tijani Babangida stated that words are not enough to express how grateful he is to the former players of Roda JC of Holland. “I am seriously overwhelmed and grateful,” he concluded.

Nigerian forward Charles Adah Agada scored twice as HNK Orijent secured a 2-0 away victory over Karlovac 1919 in the Croatian SuperSport Prva NL on Saturday.
Orijent produced an impressive performance at the Branko Čavlović-Čavlek Stadium in Karlovac to claim all three points in the league encounter.
Agada, a former Mavlon FC of Lagos attacker, was the standout performer, finding the net twice to help the visitors overcome their hosts and strengthen their position in the league campaign.
Orijent went into the half-time break with a 1-0 advantage before extending their lead in the second half.
