Proud Moment For Awoniyi

“Another proud moment for me off the pitch,” Awoniyi wrote on Instagram.
“Graduating from the PFA Business School with a Postgraduate Diploma in Global Football Sport Directorship with Merit.
“I have always believed that being a footballer shouldn’t stop you from being a student of the game, and education has become an important part of that journey for me.
“Still playing. Still learning. The journey continues.”

Awoniyi began his professional career with Imperial Academy in Nigeria before joining Liverpool in 2015.

Ambitious guy on and off pitch!!
This guy has always loved education…
From his Government Secondary school days in illorin….
To him going to the university and getting a degree in business administration…
To now this….
Little wonder you don’t see him fighting all over the pitch like that gala guy….
When you are educated, you tend to be very civil and gentle in handling things….
Old boy! Hatred causes heart attacks. Be careful.
How is this hatred bikonu???
I am celebrating Awoniyi and you say I am hating….
How???
He may not score much on the pitch, but he has scored a big goal in the class room.
Congratulations!
Post Grad diploma in global football sports directorship vs politician who is only interested in sharing money. The difference is clear like 7up.
It is people like this that we need to be running sports and football in particular.
