    Rabiu Ali Pele: The Warhorse Who Defies Time

    In a football world often clouded by controversies surrounding age declarations, Rabiu Ali “Pele” stands out as a rare figure whose authenticity and performance speak louder than his years.

    The Kano Pillars’ midfield maestro has continued to dazzle fans with his exceptional skills, discipline, and leadership, proving that age is but a number when it comes to talent and dedication.

    Age manipulation has become a widespread phenomenon in Nigerian football, particularly in age-grade tournaments.

    From Under-17 to senior national teams, questions linger about the true ages of many players.

    Legendary Nigerian footballer Segun Odegbami once quipped, “If Lemi Issa, a one-time Golden Eaglets goalkeeper, is 16, then my grandmother is 30.”

    Similarly, the trajectory of Christansus Macaulay, the top scorer of the 2007 U-17 World Cup, contrasts sharply with that of Toni Kroos, the tournament’s best player and Macaulay’s contemporary, who only recently retired after a stellar career.

    Rabiu Ali, however, is a refreshing exception. He has embraced his genuine age and thrived in a sport where many have faded prematurely.

    Known for his creativity, precise passing, and playmaking abilities, Ali’s presence in the Sai Masu Gida squad is not just symbolic but instrumental.

    Fans and analysts alike note his irreplaceable contributions to Kano Pillars, with his absence often leaving a noticeable void on the pitch.

    Late singer Mamman Shata aptly captured the essence of unwavering excellence with his lyrics: “Har yau nikeyi, baku samo chanji naba” (I am still relevant; you have yet to find my replacement).

    These words resonate with Ali’s enduring impact on Nigerian football. His iconic number 10 jersey remains a symbol of hope and inspiration for both fans and aspiring players.

    While critics argue for the need to groom younger players for the national team, it is worth acknowledging that age is not the sole determinant of performance.

    Rabiu Ali and Ahmed Musa, another Nigerian football stalwart, exemplify discipline and dedication, traits that the Super Eagles could greatly benefit from.

    For now, Rabiu Ali “Pele” continues to roll the ball for Kano Pillars, proving that time cannot diminish true talent. His story is a testament to resilience, discipline, and the unyielding spirit of a footballer whose legacy will inspire generations to come.
