Haaaaaa, odo be! Soup don ready finally!
This is a good development. It’s however sad to note that all the reports I have read online in this regard left out the name of Late Rasheedi Yekini from the list of beneficiaries. This is despite the fact that they listed the names of the deceased members of the team separately in another paragraph.
It says “some of the names” even finidi is also missing hear.so Rashidi yekini and all other ’94 nation’s cup winning team will get.
