Nigerian soccer player makes a big revelation about Japan

A Nigerian soccer player in Japan has made a big revelation about the East Asian country that most people living in Africa will struggle to believe.

Simon Chibueze Christian is a 24-year-old soccer player, who is currently on the books of Osaka City SC, has been staying in Japan for the past seven months after embarking on a second spell in Japan.

The striker had his initial spell in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic as he joined Fukushima United FC.

Although he enjoyed a bright start to life in Japan, the lanky striker had to look back as he endured an injury setback that briefly truncated his dreams of playing high level football in Japan. He went under the knife and subsequently returned to Nigeria.

However, Simon staged a comeback in 2024 and has been hoping to get his career back on track with his goal-scoring performances for his club.

Meanwhile speaking on Jafriq Radio’s newly-introduced programme One Africa One World, he shared a story that most people in Africa will find it hard to believe though it is a common reality in Japan.

According to the striker, he forgot his wallet twice in public places in Japan and on both occasions, he had them. Normally in most African countries, both the wallet and its content will be gone for good.

He narrated his experience to One Africa One World host Emmanuel Akyereko: “I once forgot my wallet on the train. I wasn’t even aware that I had left it on the train. I was on my way back home when I received a call from my club. They informed me that I had left my wallet on the train but I said. Mind you, from the train station to my house is approximately under five minutes and before I got home my club called me. My wallet was returned to me with everything intact. Everything inside.”

“Another time I went to a park to play with the kids and late into the night, I realised that I had left my wallet over there. Trust me, I went back to the park and my wallet was nicely wrapped and placed on a table with everything inside. My money, residence card and other important documents were all safely inside.”

These are things that are mostly not common in several African countries as the possibilities of him finding the wallet back would have been very low. However, in Japan, people hardly lose valuables they misplace as most people will pick up the item and report to a nearby station for collection.
