IronBar Bassey, a weightlifter that formerly represented Nigeria in weightlifting in the 1984 Olympics, was recently discovered doing manual work as a laborer or directing traffic in the Ajah-Addo-Badore axis.
Residents who constantly ply the route attested to always see the former Nigerian weight lifter, now in dreads, engaged in community service such as cleaning gutters or directing traffic.
The discovery of IronBar Bassey, the Nigerian ex Olympics weightlifter, drew emotional as well as angry reactions from people who wondered why Nigeria cannot help her former servicemen but abandon them to wallow in poverty.
People felt sorry for him and sought a way to get him back to his feet, even as a user suggested that a crowdfunding account such as Gofundme, be raised for him.
