It feels so exciting to post in the 
The #qotw of the week says; What's the One Thing You KNOW Would Transform Your Life? - and what's really stopping you?
As humans we are all entitled to our own opinion and ideas which probably might be different from other people. Ever since when I was young, I have always have the dream that one day, I will like to be a footballer, a goalkeeper to be precise. This have always been my joy and dream to achieve but then finance became the bigger issue as that dream became shaky.
My family background is a poor one where three square meal is not guaranteed and if we are privilege to see two square meal, it becomes a blessing for that day. At that tender age, looking at my family background, i have always have the mindset that if I am opportuned to play football someday, my family situation will change for good.
Despite the fact that I knew finance was stopping me from achieving my dreams, I still always try my possible best to play street football likewise local competition to know if any help or sponsor can showcase if they see my physical ability and passion for the dream and sport.
My country Nigeria, isn't showing that assurance of footballers from grassroots having the opportunity to play abroad instead it is only players mostly from rich homes that are privilege to play. The players who don't have this financial means and connection but were able to play football abroad were just lucky and opportuned.
Looking at the football national team of today, it is mainly players who play abroad while those from the local leagues hardly make it there or are few which is part of the sentiment and opportunity am talking about.
If I was opportuned to achieve my dream
We all know that football is a sport that pays well which is why many people wants their children to plays football likewise other sports. This would have been a good opportunity for me in changing my family story if my dream was achieved but then the country situation and financial means stopped me from achieving that.
If I listen to some footballer's testimony like Victor Osimhen, Sadio Mane and so many others. I always wish I was opportuned too because I know that will be a blessing to my family, friends and other people around but that didn't happen but however am still grateful for life because no one knows tomorrow.
If it were to be in an European country and I decide I want to be a footballer that dream will likely happen because their system there is working likewise their economy unlike here where the government isn't showing that same process and opportunity.
So many dreams and talents have not been discovered especially when lack of finance is the issue which is really becoming a problem but we only hope that someday the situation will turnout for good.
This is one reason why I am working hard in other to lay a good foundation for my children in other for them not face the same challenges I went through. Though, it is difficult task but I want the best for them to eradicate my past experience.
