A heartwarming moment has captured the internet’s attention, as a video of Cameroonian football legend and President of the Cameroonian Football Federation, Samuel Eto’o, recognising a former teammate working as a security guard goes viral.

The encounter reportedly took place after an Ecobank Group seminar in Douala, Cameroon, according to a report shared on social media by a news platform, ED HUB.

In the video, Eto’o, surrounded by fans and attendees, was leaving the venue when someone offscreen called out his name.

At first, he glanced back briefly before walking on, but then he stopped, turned again, and realised it was an old friend.

The man, dressed in a security uniform, walked into the frame, and Eto’o’s face lit up in recognition.

The former Barcelona star warmly shook hands with his old teammate, embraced him briefly, and exchanged pleasantries in Bassa’a, a Cameroonian dialect.

Eto’o was visibly moved, repeatedly patting his friend’s arm as they reminisced.

Turning to the crowd gathered around them, Eto’o introduced the man, saying, “He was my colleague. I played with him.”

The touching moment has drawn widespread iration on social media, with many s praising Eto’o for his humility.

This heartfelt moment has however earned him praise among netizens.

The race is not to the swift, it is of the Lord who shows mercy.

David was the last born, yet God made him king.

Joseph was second to the last, God crowned him.

Tinubu was the most ridiculed during election, God crowned him.

Donald Trump was written off, he made the biggest Political comeback.

John Mahama made a similar comeback as well.

See ehn.. Make we just dey thank God say man no be God.

It can be a really sad moment of reflection on one's life when you see a once colleague now doing so much better than you. You just be thinking and trying to how and where you got it wrong.

The truth is, you start becoming sad and unhappy the moment you start comparing yourself with others.

Just be thankful for wherever you find yourself. Where you currently are is the prayer points of some.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but from what I saw with my korokoro eyes I will say "Just show up!". Many may mock you but you can't change the past.

What I saw: A previously broke classmate is now sitting comfortably with big boys just by always showing up for his class events and helping with running around. Unknown to him, two ex-classmates (one US-based and one Abuja odogwu) have been observing him for a few years and working behind the scene to uplift him. He never ask anybody for money, no smart ass scheming, just a straight forward guy. The guy is mega now just 6 months into his first contract. True life and very recent story.

Yes, Etoo said he played with him at the KSA academy.
Etoo never played in any local club in Douala.
From football school/academy to Real Madrid.
