Many Nigerian footballers have used the round leather game to change their financial status – especially those from indigent backgrounds.

 

Olalekan said besides his love for the game, he believes his innate talent will help to change the lives of his family for the better.

I came from a poor family and I love helping people around me of which I don’t have money to do that now. Well, I strongly believe that God is on my side and playing football will continue to be my primary assignment till I reach my set goals in life. The only thing I believe can end my current challenges and give me much money that will support my vision I have for humanity is football.”

He insists that his exposure to the NPFL will push his quest for future national team appearances in no small way.
