Emenike: I won’t encourage my daughter to go into football

Super Eagles star, Emmanuel Emenike, made so more money and fame from football, but the 2014 World Cup star has said that he would not allow his daughter to take to the beautiful game.
 
Emenike, whose daughter participated in the just-concluded The Athletics School Games (TASG) held in Lagos, said he is training the girl to be confident in whatever she does.
 
He said: “I came here to encourage her to do her best at this event. She does sprinting and relay races for her school. But that is where it will end, I will not encourage her to take to take to football.”
 
The Athletics School Games ended at the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) over the weekend with St Saviour’s School, Ikoyi, and Grange School, Lagos, winning the primary and secondary schools’ categories respectively.
 
The event watched by dignitaries from all walks of life, including officials of the Lagos State government, parents, and ex-athletes, featured 16 schools and over 916 athletes.
