..a servant of the people..

















This is what most African players go through with agents. June 2014 we started a new season and i joined Vitesse Arnhem from Red Star Belgrade and My good friend Marvelous Nakamba a.k.a Oga landlord is on trial. He left Nancy in France for a trial with Vitesse and after he was signed on a 4years deal. Then something interesting happened and the agent that brought him to Vitesse was a French guy who has been working with him for a while. Me and Nakamba stayed very close to each other in Oosterbeek and we basically do everything together. One day he told me that he ran out of money and I asked him how because i knew how much he was earning and I was like how is it possible you don't have money. He said the French agent always take money from him every months even after he was already paid commission by Vitesse. So I asked him how is he taking money from you and he said that it's what the representation contract says. Then I asked him to show me the contract, my eyes couldn't believe what I'm reading in the contract. I have always been open to learning about contracts and the FIFA rules so I had an idea what a representation contract should look like. After reading it there was a lot of foul play in the contract and I can't even understand how the agent was able to logged it in the FA. So I called lawyer that we have a problem and if he could help so he asked I should send him the rep contact and he will get back to me. He my lawyer came back to me he said the contract is not legal so I asked him to help and he did by just sending email to the French agent and we reported him to Vitesse as well and we never heard from him again. A lot of African players have been exploited by the lack of knowledge of the FIFA rules about rep contracts that most of these players ended up signing their lifes away. True story....
