There is time for everything. This saying is very true and applies to all circumstances in life. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to shine and a time fail.
With this in mind, who again remembers the former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles skipper, Isaac Promise, who was the shinning star of team Nigeria at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing?
I know most Nigerians may have forgotten him because it's in Nigerian blood to forget talents who had brought glory to the country in the past. And that's very unfortunate because it doesn't encourage patriotism among Nigerians, and I think that's a very dangerous situation.
Well, this fine player who had done Nigeria proud in the past, including serving as her Captain, has been confirmed dead by his American team.
Isaac Promise was born on the 2nd of December 1987 and reportedly died on the 2nd of October, 2019. During his active years, he was part of team Nigeria contingent who won the Silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Most of his professional years were spent in Turkey where he played for teams that included Turkish Super Lig teams Genclerbirligi and Trabzonspor and had a total of 77 club goals to his name.
His currrment American club did not disclose the cause of his death but, according to a tweet message by Genclerbirligi, Promise died of her attack.
R.I.P to this great Nigerian.
