Africa: Obagoal, Utaka in Line for TV Show

Lagos — Nigerian-duo of Obafemi Martins and John Utaka alongside Didier Drogba and John Mensah are among African football stars that are to appear on a television show to be aired across the continent before the World Cup in June.

The 30-minute documentary which is targeted on how African players live their lives abroad is called "Footballers Lives", and will take viewers into the private homes of the players as they live abroad mostly in Europe. The exclusive personal access to the top African players means viewers of the show will get to see what the players eat and wear as well as how they live with their families. The show is produced in the UK by the African ethnic football media production company, LogikMedia, along with two African football journalists. Each player also gains unprecedented access to the facilities at their clubs including the dressing rooms, stadiums and other exclusive club events as well as how they prepare for matches. The players will also reveal what music they listen to, how they connect with Africa when they are in Europe and how they entertain themselves.
