Is David Alaba The Greatest Footballer Of Nigerian Descent? by ijedeikorodu(m): 4:27pm On Aug 24, 2020
David Alaba, has been the best left-back in the world for about 7/8 years and he has basically won everything in club football. Yet he's just 28 yrs old unbelievable! I call him the 'black' Philip Lahm of full backs due to his versatility. He marshalled both Neymar and Mbappe confidently in the CL final match.

His parentage is Nigerian father and Filippino mother, he was born in Austria and plays for the Austrian National Team.

Accolades:

Bundesliga: 2009–10, 2012–13, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20
DFB-Pokal: 2012–13, 2013–14, 2015–16, 2018–19, 2019–20
DFL-Supercup: 2016, 2018
UEFA Champions League: 2012–13, 2019–20[66]
UEFA Super Cup: 2013
FIFA Club World Cup: 2013

Many of us lack capitals to start a meaningful project ,most busineses need start up funds to be successful and that becomes a limitation.We become frustrated when we can't earn money in our poverty,become dejected because we are poor
But there's good news,some of us are unawares that there are some businesses we could do without any capital.All that is needed is your smartphone and PayPal account.It is very difficult to find those business especially if you are an African.I have made great pains to research those business,their legitimacy, compiled them and ready to divulge them.
You might not make millions from them but trust me you can get at least 50-200 thousand naira from the busineses if you are diligent.It can go a long way in helping you and your family and better still they are free you don't spend much time on doing them.
If you are interested in this you can join the watsapp group so you get them

He has not made impact for the Austrian National team in the European Championships (they played qualifiers of which he participated), has not played in the FIFA World Cup, has not played in the Olympics, hence it doesn't suffice to accord the adjective "greatest" to him.
