Hello Everyone, my name is Inyang Emmanuel Igbara. I am from Cross River State, Ovonum, Nigeria.
I was born and raised by my parents and my siblings in living conditions I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, we have hustled through life to support one another and to provide a means to survive in this poor environment in a world filled with people that are so judgemental when money is their priority and the poor are just seen as worthless and not important. My siblings are living their life’s with thei
r own families or else in school studying. Football has been a big part of my life from a young age starting with school and my community team, I have played for my teams including Atali in Harcourt, Dynamic Star FC, Amadi FC Shell, Great Otisco FA, Power of De Cross FA and also travelled to Abuja for trials where I lifted trophies throughout my journey at these teams. Throughout my success of being chosen for these teams and enjoying hopefully a career that would arise in the future, the negativity then became a factor with people making me doubt my skills and abilities, telling me that I wouldn’t mount to anything because of my poor living environment and as if people in my situation weren’t worthy enough to achieve success in life, my family cant support me as they are trying to provide for their own lives and goals. I have been presented with such an amazing opportunity to travel to Italy for football trials and I’m hoping with the support from people I can finally achieve my goals, live a more successful life and help provide and give back to my family because they deserve to have a peaceful, non struggling life.
