Do not go to serbia:FIFPRO tells Footballers.

 World players' union FIFPro has warned members not to sign for clubs in Serbia because they run the risk of not getting paid.
FIFPro and the Serbian Players' Association (SPFN) said that eight of the 16 teams in the top flight have had their accounts blocked by the Serbian national bank and could not pay players and other employees.
"We hate to do this but it is our job to protect the players," FIFPro secretary general Theo van Seggelen said in a statement.
"Players haven't been paid for months and encounter serious financial problems. Clubs are on the verge of going bankrupt.
"On top of that, I received the shocking news that one of the clubs totally disrespects players' rights and even allows hooligans to threaten their players."
SPFN president Mirko Poledica said there were currently 115 cases at the country's dispute resolution chamber.
"The current situation is alarming," he said. "There are only approximately 500 professional footballers in Serbia. We would not be surprised if some of the clubs file for bankruptcy in the near future.
"Therefore we must send a message to all countries and recommend all foreign footballers not to come to Serbia, because there are no guarantees that they will be paid."
FIFPro said that players at first division club Radnicki Kragujevac were threatened by supporters, who were allowed into the changing room, when they went on strike in protest at not being paid for three months.
"One of the more experienced players, Vuk Sotirovic, was hit in the face when he tried to reason with the supporters and protect his younger team mates. Other players prevented a fight from breaking out," FIFPro said.
FIFPro said the Serbian football association (FSS) and League condemned the incident in a letter but the former did not start any disciplinary procedure against the club, which Poledica described as "very disappointing".
At the team's next home game, fans displayed banners with insults and threats directed against the players, and seven players left the club in the following few days, FIFPro added.
The FSS and Radnicki Kragujevac could not immediately be reached for comment.
Serbian football reached a new low in June when last season's champions Red Star Belgrade were barred from the Champions League by UEFA because of unpaid bills.

Kano Pillars is the only Professional Football Club in Nigeria .AhmedMusa


Former Kano Pillars forward and a member of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Ahmed Musa has categoricaly stated that Kano Pillars Fc is the only club in the Nigerian Premier League with a sound reputation.Musa who was once a top scorer in the Nigerian Premier League with Kano Pillars and currently plays for CSKA Moscow in Russia spoke exclusively with Oma Akatugba in Munich Germany after CSKA Moscow´s final UEFA Champions league group game against bayern Munich.
“Kano Pillars is the only Nigerian club operating just as a European club.That’s the only team where you see fans wearing the official colour of the team during league matches.The fans always buy the famous yellow Jersey of the club and they put it on whenever the team play matches at home.This explains why Kano Pillars is always the best in terms of proper organisation and management.Kano Pillars is the only club its jerseys are sold across Nigeria.Even in the East,Kano Pillars Jerseys are sold” Musa who was born in jos and raised in Jos but moved to  Kano Pillars after just a season with Plateu United further stated that Kano Pillars hardly owe players.”If you come to Kano Pillars,they are always open.If you ask for 10 Million and Kano Pillars can not afford it they will let you know they can pay only 3 Million which is better than 10 Million Niara on paper with other teams that you will never receive and you will receive all your entitlements before the season ends.You win a match today, before another match you get your match Bonus.So even though you earn for example 80.000 a month you will hardly touch your salary because you always get your match bonus.Feeding allowance is always available,hotel is always standard:” The CSKA Moscow Forward said.
Ahmed Musa was part of the triumphant Super Eagles team that won the Afcon 2013 in South Africa as well as the Super Eagles Team that played at the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 where he scored a brace against Lionel Messi´s Argentina in one of the group stage matches further said .
"I bought a house for my Family while playing for Kano Pillars.If they owed salaries and other entitlements how would I have been able to do that playing in the local league".He ended by saying he hopes and pray that the situation in the Nigerian Premier League improves so that just like the South African Premier League,the Nigerian player can be at home and enjoy the benefits of proffesional football instead of traveling to obscure places all in the name of playing professional football.

Emmanuel Emenike Spends heavily on Charity.

God bless EMMANUEL Emenike 
(EXTRACT FROM ADE OJEIKERE'S COLUMN)
Emmanuel Emenike is my most admired footballer. He understands what it takes to give back to the society when the need arises. Emenike’s philanthropy is phenomenal. The beauty about his ability to assist the needy is that he doesn’t like it advertised. He stands out as the only Super Eagles player who kicks against some of the shameful acts of the squad and makes his views known. But that isn’t the reason for this short take on him.
Emenike spent $50,000, yes you are free to convert it to naira to buy bags of rice and other foodstuff which he wants distributed to motherless babies homes, orphans and to the widows across Imo and Anambra states. 550 bags of rice have been taken to Imo State. Otuocha (in Anambra State) will have 300 bags with other undisclosed items.
The star spent $60,000 last year while giving out to widows, orphans and the less privileged in the eastern zone of Nigeria, has mandated his family to distribute over 900 bags of rice to some local government areas in Imo and Anambra states as part of his annual charity work. Apart from the donation, a football match will be played in Anambra State to honour the Super Eagles star.
Each year, Emenike quietly shares his wealth with the needy. In fact, one fan, who was told of Emenike’s magnanimous acts, cornered him at the Nnnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja and showed him photographs of his distressed wife in the hospital.
Desperate to prove his innocence, the crest-fallen husband made a video call to his wife in the hospital, where her plight was highlighted to the Eagles’ start by excited hospital staff.
Emenike immediately gave the bewildered husband $10,000; his winning bonus in the game that he came for. He also exchanged telephone numbers with the husband. Emenike bought a piece of land in Enugu worth N30 million, which he wanted to use for a football academy. But that matter is in the court because some funny men in the Enugu state government want to acquire the land by force. God will not allow them achieve this. This is a promise. I will find out how far the matter has gone and relate it in subsequent columns
