Ex-Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye believes that players who retire and are broke should be jailed.
According to Ideye, footballers must plan for the future with their earnings before their careers end.
The 35-year-old shared his opinions about the welfare of former footballers and athletes on his official X account.
Ideye, who recently announced his retirement from international football, feels that players need to be financially intelligent.
“Footballers, start saving for your future from day one. No matter how small your salary is, put something aside for your retirement,” Ideye wrote.
Engaging Ideye on the point of view, one of his followers insisted that footballers, especially those who plied their trade in Europe, have no excuse not to save money.
“They should be jailed for life if, after they retire from playing, they can’t feed themselves,” Ideye replied.
