Emeka's family challenges

After the scouting program had ended, the foreign scouts who were present on the final day of the program selected the best legs which included emeka, they took some pictures together and they met with the families of those that were selected and the plans they had for the selected kids were passed on to the parents. The kids were all super excited and you could tell from the looks on their different faces that they can't wait to hit it big on the big stages of World football. But on the eve of that faithful day, emeka's parents were involved in a fatal accident while on their way back home, emeka's father was pronounced dead on the spot while his mother was rushed to the hospital but her chances of making it alive was very slim, days later emeka's mother went into coma and they had exhausted all the funds they had trying to save the life of emeka's mother. This was the beginning of emeka's struggle and as a young boy who couldn't survive on his own, life became very difficult for him, the only help he had was from his uncle who came down to Lagos to take emeka with him back to the village.
