EX-SUPER EAGLES MIDFIELDER, WILSON ORUMA DUPED BY PASTOR, DEVELOPS MENTAL DISORDER



Wilson Oruma, a former Nigerian International footballer, is said to be suffering from mental disorder after losing N1.2billion to his pastor.

Completesports reports that Oruma lost N1.2billion after he was lured into a fake oil business by his pastor and some fake oil businessmen in December 2012 after retiring from football.

“Wilson Oruma hasn’t really recovered from the emotional disorder which he suffered after he was duped,” Emakpor Dibofun told completesports.

“He has been to several places in search of a lasting solution, but it gets worse after a bit of improvement,” Oruma’s close friend,” said Dibofun.

The 41-year-old captained the Golden Eaglets to victory at the 1993 FIFA U-17 World Cup and was the top scorer with 6 goals.
He won gold with Nigeria at the 1996 Olympics. He won Ligue 1 with Lens in the 1997-98 season, Coupe de la Ligue with Sochaux in 2004 and Coupe de France with Guingamp in 2009.

Meanwhile, Oruma’s former teammates Augustine Eguavoen, Samson Siasia and Nwankwo Kanu, have all agreed to take part in a football game to raise funds in a bid to aid the recovery of their former colleague.

The football match has been proposed to hold in Lagos in February, former Super Eagles midfielder and ex-Chairman of Lagos State Football Association Waidi Akanni said.

“Since the news broke that he (Oruma) had a relapse of an emotional disorder, his former teammates having been trying to reach out to people around him to show love to him,” Akanni told Completesports.

 “Taribo, Kanu and some of the Atlanta 96 set are keen to turn out for their former teammate.

“They have all agreed to reach out to his family to see how they can help him out and also use the opportunity to educate the current players on how to plan their future after retirement.

“I’m sure other players who will be contacted later will be willing to take part just as the Lagos State government and the Delta State government, where Oruma hails from,” he said.

STOP KILLING US: Alumnus Cries out to UNILORIN.

When I was in 300L, UNILORIN, my hostel got robbed. The assailants hacked a girl with a cutlass on her cheek bone, very close to her eye. She was cooking when the attack happened & had a short skirt and tank top on. It was her distress call that brought me out. I took her to the school clinic. We got to the gate and we got delayed by the guards. They kept on asking for ID Card. I had my purse & my card was in it. But the girl was bleeding out, barely holding in place. I had to BEG for them to let us in. It was a mess. We got to the clinic & instead of them giving DY first Aid, they started asking us why she wasn't with her ID Card. Why she was not properly dressed. DY was bleeding out. I tried calling LukmanShobowale who was the SU President then but he was unreachable. I called BodeWrites & he told me Eminent wasn't around. I wanted to call other SU excos but at that point it would be stupid. DY was still bleeding and she was getting light headed. Ther
