Ballon D’Or News

NIMI

Prodigious talents, who grow up to achieve what pundits predicted of them are rare to find. In a world filled with ‘the next Maradona,’ many talented youngsters have failed to reach the heights predicted for them due to various issues.

The most recent example of such precocious talents gone wrong is Freddy Adu of the United States, who was so good that at age 14 he had already started playing for one of the biggest clubs in his country at the highest level of the game.

When the management of the NLO demanded that participating teams ensure the registration of young players, it was clear to discerning minds that it would yield good fruits. This remarkable feat has not gone unnoticed as the management of the third-tier domestic football league has acknowledged as one of the fruits of the programme to develop Nigerian football by encouraging younger footballers in organised football.

Nimi, who is a product of Provavios Sports Academy, owned by the older Solanke, is unfazed by his achievement. Rather, he said that he is determined to follow the example set by his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, with his eyes firmly placed on the Ballon D’or.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
