NFL stars visit Nigeria

A number of NFL players with Nigerian roots spent a portion of their offseason visiting Nigeria and
helping a variety of people and organizations.
Osi Umenyiora, Adewale Ogunleye and Amobi Okoye among others took some time out of their vacations to visit las gidi and other parts of the country. These NFL stars taught the youth a little bit about American football and also did a fair amount of community service work in the country.
The guys also donated footy/soccer gear to one of the local NPL clubs in the country.
These NFL stars showed that there are some athletes out there that remember their roots and do genuinely care about their communities and their native countries.
Keep up the good work fella's and to my people transplanted in foreign lands, please do your part to assist in the situations in your native countries. Every little bit helps.
