A 31-year-old footballer in Bayelsa State, Peremobowei Ernest, reportedly drowned on October 19, 2022, after rescuing five passengers of a boat that capsized in Yenagoa.
My name is Ebisine Ernest. I am 25 years old. I am a footballer. I play for a grassroots football club in Port Harcourt. It is called the Cardinal Football Club.He was my elder brother. I am the last child of my mother.My mother is the first wife of my father. She had 10 children. We lost one of my elder brothers when I was a baby.What was his occupation?
That was the kind of person he was. That was his lifestyle. He always put others first before his interest. There was a time I was in his house and a man came knocking at about 1am and pleading for his assistance because his wife was in labour. I knew full well that Peremobowei’s tricycle had a faulty tyre but he had to take the woman to a hospital and on our way back, the tyre exploded and came off. That is the kind of person he is. He likes helping people and he is well-known for that.
I think everybody was informed the day he went missing. She has not been herself lately; she has not been able to eat. I heard that my mother passed out when she was told.Yes. We buried him on December 10 in our home in Delta State. It went well. There were representatives from his club. His friends were also there. It was a Christian burial. We made branded T-shirts that had his photo and favourite jersey number.
