Football Suicides 2 The Deaths That Should Never Have Happened

Why many Ex-footballers die of depression, suicide – Egbe A FIFA match agent and C.E.O Monimichelli Sports facility & Construction limited, Mr Ebi Egbe, has attributed the increased depression and high rate of suicide cases among ex-football internationals to lack of investment and diversification while in active football. Egbe, who stated that many footballers around the world fail to understand that there’s a life after their active football years, noted that they create a lifestyle around their income which sometimes becomes very difficult to sustain years after. In an exclusive interview on Saturday in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital, with DAILY POST, Egbe said, “Ex-players are getting extremely depressed, some even commit suicide all around the world and not just in Bayelsa State; if nothing is done about it, we will continue to lose more of them in the football industry. “Even here in Nigeria, the trend has always been like that, most of the young footballers started their playing career from the village and straight to Europe, and because of no much time of exposure, they get too excited living abroad and playing football there and are carried away.
