Good Samaritan Organizes Movement to Rescue Rashidi Yekini’s Mum from Financial Hardship
A kind-hearted Nigerian is organizing a movement aimed at supporting mother of late legendary Nigerian football star, Rashidi Yekini after news broke that she has been financially handicapped forcing her to sell bread just to survive.
According to information shared by Suraj Tunji Oyewale, Founder of JARUSHUB, he along with a few others have decided to assist the poor old woman, Alhaja Sidikat Yekini.
He has also called on other good Samaritans to help the woman.
Oyewale revealed the news, giving details of the rescue mission:
PROJECT MAMA YEKINI
This is Alhaja Sidikat, mother of former best footballer in Africa, Rashidi Yekini, who died 4 years ago.
According to Sahara Reporters, she’s struggling to earn a living, selling bread.
I know everyone has their own personal and family challenges and things are tough everywhere, but I want to champion the raising of N50,000 for this woman.
I’m from Offa, and Ira, Rashidi’s hometown where the woman is, is just a stone-throw away from Offa.
- I know that a good number of my friends here live in Offa, can I have 2 people to volunteer to go and see this woman and confirm this story. Pls inbox me.
- After the two people have verified, they will send the report with pictures to me and I share here.
- We will embark on fund raising. Just 50k.
- After we raise the money, we will get people on ground (i.e our Offa and environs-based friends here) to deliver to her, with pictures just as proof.
- I nominate one of our active and reputable friends here, Femi Olabisi, Registrar of Offa COE, as Field Champion to lead the delivery of the money to her.
- We should do this in 1 week. I propose this timeline.
Saturday & Sunday (8-9th May): Getting volunteers to verify.
Monday (10th): Volunteers (2) visit to verify and report back.
Tuesday – Thursday (11th-12th): Fund raising – Donations and contribution. Target is 50k.
Saturday, 15th: Delivery of the money to her
Sunday: Post-project report.
Awwwwww very good of them
This is sad.Does it mean she doesn’t have other children to take care of her?How long will 50k sustain her?I wish more could be done for her
what would 50k do…
May God send more helper to her
…and he was a national hero! Chei.. this country. Thank God for the good initiative to help mama Yekini. God bless the initiators.
God bless you for this good work. Amen
