Moses Simon Alleges Tribalism at Rangers International FC
Moses Simon, currently a forward for Pari FC, shared his difficult experience at Rangers International FC, where he was dropped after a three-month trial period. Simon joined Rangers in 200 player trials, where he impressed coach Okei Emordi but was left without a contract or salary during his time there.
He claimed that tribalism influenced the decision not to sign him, stating that he was subjected to discrimination as an Igbo player, while the club maintained that they do not discriminate based on ethnicity. Simon, originally from Kaduna, reflected on his sacrifices to pursue football, including working in agriculture to support himself.
Rangers International FC's General Manager, Amobi Ezeaku, responded to Simon's claims, asserting that the club operates without discrimination and focuses on players' abilities and character. The club emphasized its commitment to providing equal opportunities regardless of ethnic background.
