Keep Resting, Olubayo Adefemi
Seven years ago, Nigeria lost a great player. Adefemi died in a car accident while driving on the Egnatia Odos, near the city of Kavala, Greece, while on his way to Nigeria to finalize the details of his wedding. Adefemi was not just any remarkable player, but one of Nigeria’s finest at the time. The defender was a part of the Nigeria team that won the Silver media at the 2008 Olympic Games. Adefemi also represented Nigeria at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships in the Netherlands, when the Nigerian team came second behind a Lionel Messi led Argentine side. He also won won the Isreali F.A cup wt Hapoel Tel Aviv in 2006. Keep resting, Olubayo AdefemiOn this day in 2005 we lost @NGSuperEagles and Olympic Silver Medalist Olubayo Adefemi.
