Taye Taiwo made this
announcement on his social media page as he shared a picture of his father with
some crying and heartbreak emoji.
Former Nigerian
international Taye Taiwo has announced the death of his father, Pa Salisu
Taiwo.
The former defender is one
of Pa Taiwo’s five children; four men, Waheed, Jelili, and Azeez and a woman
Opeyemi.
The Taiwos are now without
any parent as their mother died several years ago.
Pa Taiwo and his late wife
had his children at Isheri-Olofin, a poor, densely populated outpost in the
sprawling city of Lagos where the former AC Milan defender also grew up.
Taiwo was born a twin but
his brother, Kehinde, died when they were about two and a half years old.
It was Isheri-Olofin that
Tiawo started playing football.
After spending most of his
life working as an electric welder, Pa Taiwo had the opportunity of seeing his
son become a successful footballer.
