A Nigerian in the diaspora has donated trumpets to the Nigeria Football Supporters Club to solve the shortage of musical instruments for fans.

Taking delivery of the instruments on Wednesday at the club’s secretariat on Funso William’s Avenue in Surlere, Lagos, Samuel Ikpea, the National Chairman, said the gift came after his appeal to the donor.

“I discussed with one of our members in the diaspora on Monday, April 12, and I complained about the need for trumpets in the club as a matter of urgency.

“Surprisingly, I got a call from a delivery guy today who said he had a package for the club, and when he got here, behold, it was six brand new trumpets from him,” said Mr Ikpea.

He added, “On this note, I want the house to say words of prayer for him and two of my wonderful members in the U.S. who have been supportive of this club before now.

“God bless you all, my wonderful brothers.”

A spokesman for the fans club, Dominic Ehimare, said, “I feel very elated with this gesture from a member in the diaspora.

“This is an eloquent testimony of our belief in the leadership of Rev. Ikpea and his current executive.

“Thank you very much. I can assure you that we will deliver and shine like the northern star in the discharge of our duties as patriotic citizens of Nigeria. Thank you for your donations.”
