Nigerian Footballer, Ifeanyi Vincent, has voiced his shock following the recent explosions in Beruit, the capital of Lebanon.

According to reports, the explosions occurred at the Port Area in the Lebanese capital with at least 100 people killed and an estimated 4,000 others injured.

Ifeanyi arrived Lebanon early this year for a trial with one of the football clubs in the Lebanese League, but hasn’t been able to sign an official contract because of the Corona Virus outbreak.

The Dora-based footballer was reported to have told newsmen: “I was shocked and confused when the blast occurred.”

“We just heard a sound, I shouted Jesus! I didn’t know what happened, there was smoke all over the place and I went down because the building shook.”

“I used to see how these things happen on Television when I was in Nigeria, but I saw it live here. It was a terrible and scary experience for me.”

“My plan is to leave the city to try somewhere else since what I came for did not work out. I am wasting here in Lebanon. I’m trying to see if I can get an offer and leave as soon as possible,” he concluded.

Not a few have reacted to the blasts in Lebanon, expressing support for the Asian country.
