In the wake of the recent deaths of ex Nigerian footballers, renowned enterpreneur and sports philanthropist, Francis Aiyegbeni revealed during a short interview on African Independent Television, AIT, that most of their deaths can be traced to frustration over unfulfilled promises by the government.

"Where's Okparaji? In 1994, they said they will give houses to the team, they didn't give anybody any house. Nigerian footballers should always demand their rights, once they are expired (stop playing for the team), their rights will expire."
