A former Super Falcons player known as Iyabo Abade, is pleading for help from the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF to undergo a corrective surgery.The former falcons player, who is now a man and also changed his name to James Johnson, said he needs NFFs assistance of N69.7m to facilitate a corrective surgery that will enable him have his own children.Johnson, was a Falcons player from 1997 to 2000 and successfully underwent a sex change operation in the United States in 2004 courtesy of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, then Minister of Federal Capital Territory Before his surgery, he was a confirmed hermaphrodite – a person or animal with both male and female organs. The former footballer revealed that he wrote to the NFF for financial assistance in 2023 to undergo the surgery but hasnt heard from the Nigerian football ruling body. Abade, 40, said he would be a fulfilled man if he could conclude the final stages of the surgery and have his own kids.Anytime I think that I cant father a child yet, I feel broken, thats why I wrote to the federation for financial assistance. The NFF president Ibrahim Gusau is a man with a listening ear and hopefully, through him, the federation can help me achieve my dream, Johnson said to Punch. In the letter titled Appeal for financial assistance to enable me finalise my surgery of transforming from an inter sex person (male and female organs hermaphrodite) to full fledged man so that I can father a child, and addressed to the NFF president, Ibrahim Gusau, Johnson said he needed the money to undergo the final two phases of surgery that would make him a full man. The letter dated April 4, 2023, read;”My President, I am using this medium to passionately appeal to you for God and humanity sake, to use your good office to assist me financially to enable me travel to the United State of America where I did the 1 & 2 phase of surgery (Midway Hospital Medical Centre, Los Angeles) for the surgery and treatment of the 3rd and 4th phase of my transformation to a full fledge man so that I can father children. The total cost of the surgery and treatment is one hundred and sixty thousand dollar ($160,000) equivalent to sixty nine million seven hundred and fifty thousand naira (N69,750,000:00). The letter to NFF president Gusau added;I was born hermaphrodite i.e both female and male organs and was brought up as a female. I love football and played very well, that led to my selection to play for the Super Falcons in 1997. During my days of playing, an issue ensued that led to a test, which confirmed that I am a hermaphrodite, 70% male and 30% female. This led to terminating my appointment as a female player. The NFA (Nigeria Football Association) instructed that I should go for sex corrective surgery. The then Minister of Federal Capital Territory Mallam Nasir El-Rufai in 2004 sponsored my trip to the United State of America to undergo the sex corrective surgery. I was told that Im going to undergo four phases of surgery. The first and second phase was done and I was invited to join the Flying Eagles in camp in 2005. I was coached by Samson Siasia, but I was dropped due to overage. I was able to sign up with NEPA Football Club of Abuja, from there I signed for Plateau United of Jos. I later went on to sign up with Crown Football Club of Ogbomoso in Oyo State, where I was discriminated against and humiliated. The post I need N69m to fully transform to a man and bear children Ex-Super Falcons Player Begs NFF appeared first on dotifi.com start an online business for free and earn .
