Super Eagles star Wilfred Ndidi has partnered with German international, Karim Adeyemi, to give back to the Ajegunle community area of Lagos State.

The Nigerian international who currently plies his football trade in England with Leicester City grew up in the community, and he is one of the numerous Nigerian footballers that were nurtured there.

Adeyemi, on the other hand, was not born in Nigeria, but his father was. He decided to represent Germany on the international stage, but that hasn't stopped him from giving back to his roots.
