Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa came to the aid of Bassey Etim, who was spotted filling potholes in the Ajah axis of Lagos.

In a viral clip on social media, the former Nigerian weightlifter was spotted filling the potholes at a section of the Ado-Badore road in Lagos.

Musa swiftly reached out to the 56-year-old Olympian.
Etim claims he was neglected by Nigeria after he sustained an injury during the 1984 Olympic Games.

Speaking with music artiste Oc_Cares, Etim, who hails from Cross River said:

“I sustained an injury, and when I came back, Nigeria refused to take care of my injury, so I had to use my life savings to go back to America in September 1985 to take care of the injury.

“But I still come out to volunteer myself to give back to my country. People are saying, ‘why should you do that? They didn’t take care of you'.”


In a chat with Sports Brief, the most-capped Super Eagles player Ahmed Musa confirmed that he sent the 1982 Commonwealth gold medallist half a million Naira.

“I just finished speaking with him now. I sent him N500,000.”
