About Me

My name is Edward Ofori.I am an African. I am a Ghanaian by birth. My parents are Mr Adu Amanfo and Mrs Felicia all at Tema. I am young man in my early twenties and a very promising footballer. I have three siblings. Two boys and a girl. I am not married. I attended Tema community basic school. I didin't further my education because I wanted to play football only. Though my parents didn't want me to be a footballer, When I am playing they usually come to the stadium to support me. I wasn't academically sound especially subjects like mathematics. Most People in Ghana love football. There sixteen senior soccer teams in the Ghana Premier League of which I play for the junior side of one of such teams. I will one day show to the world that I got talent.

My Business

I started Playing foot ball a tender age of seven. I am a multi purpose player. I play for Tema Youth foot ball team. I joined this footbal club abot three yours ago. I have scored 68 goals in 79 matches played for my team. My parents were my manager until my father suddenly lost his job. so I dont have a manager yet but hopping to get one soon.Playing football in Ghana is like in Brasail where there are so many better up and comming players. I have gone to several people to help me with my career but none seems to show interest in me. I once had chance to play for the national under twenty youth team but what prevented me from going is money to pay bribes. I know that one day my time will come. Currently, I receive $32 a week as an allowance.

Loan Proposal

I am pleading with lenders to fund my loan so that I can purchase some gym equipments to improve my physical fitness in other to play more games and endure muscular strength and muscular endurance. My colleagues will also come and train with my equipments to improve upon their fitness. In the Ghana Premier League, lots of strength are produced in each match and I always loose strength which affects my playing time for a single match. In some tension matches, I put in a lot of strength and easily gets tired and gets off the pitch before the speculated time. So if my loan is fully funded, I will purchase some gym equipments to improve upon my strength.

    I have made payments but has not yet reflected..... Greetings to all my cherished lenders, My injury has hurt me and my carrier a lot because some months now I have not been able to kick football. My team has to take me to South Africa for surgery which incurs a lot. Sorry for not informing you but I had no alternative than to use my gym as a collateral for a soft loan in other to support my surgery since my team cannot afford all the bills. By the grace of God the surgery was successful and I am now recovering..... I fervently hope that I will recover fully before the start of this season's league... Needs prayers from all of you and please keep supporting me. Thank you.

    If i had been told by a prophet that a time will come in my football carrier of which i will get more sports kids and some of my friends in Tema Youth football Club will come to borrow boots and shinguards from me, i would not have believed. But now through the help of my cherished lenders and the zidisha Team, Players now borrow from me. I now have it even more and in addition i even have my first aid box. Iam so very greatful to my lenders.Thanks be to zidisha, God bless lenders.
