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

Playing football in this part of our world requires good training kits such as boots , shin guard, and several others. I currently have only one pair of shoes (boot) to play football with. I normally borrows pairs of sports kits whenever I have to play matches, Please help me get these items and I will forever be grateful. However, repayment of this loan will be very regular according to my own repayment schedules given to me by zidisha from the allowances I receive from my Team. Thank you

    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.
