Mavin artiste, Charles Chibuezechukwu, aka Crayon, has revealed how the high level of corruption in Nigeria ruined his chances of becoming a professional footballer.
He stated this in an interview with Cool FM on Thursday.
While revealing that he once went for a football screening at the National Stadium, also added that he was not chosen, citing the wealthy background of the person who was chosen in his stead.
“I tried to become a professional footballer but it didn’t work out for me because football in Nigeria is quite dicey.
“There is a lot of corruption. I don’t want to mention names because it might hurt some people. They are big names; top officials.
“At a time, I went for one screening in Surulere, they picked me and they had to swindle me and pick someone else because the person had money and connections.
“So, at that point, I became disappointed. I went home depressed,” he said.
