ScepticalStan Posted 22 May, 2016 Share Posted 22 May, 2016 https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006500737202 Has anyone been following this guy at all? He's a Nigerian Saints fan who has built himself up a little audience on Facebook with his combination of enthusiastic support, slightly elaborate messages and just generally infectious online persona. Tayo has been featured in the match day programme in the past as well as in the local papers as well. If you've got a moment it's worth looking back over his posts and photographs of the smiling kids in Nigeria that he's rallied to the cause. He's also a good guy to send old spare Saints shirts to if you've got any lying around. Have a read - the stuff he posts will put a smile on your face!

aussiesaint20 Posted 23 May, 2016 Share Posted 23 May, 2016 Have been friends with Tayo for a few years now and echo all of the above. Here's a little video of Tayo & the Nigerian Saints for those interested. I'm actually hoping to meet Tayo and the group in Lagos this December.

ScepticalStan Posted 23 May, 2016 Author Share Posted 23 May, 2016 Fantastic! Let us know how things go. I was speaking to him recently about efforts to get him to St. Mary's. I don't know whether the club could get involved at all (it would certainly make for great publicity) but there has been occasional chatter on his page about setting up some kind of a crowdfunding campaign to give him a chance to come along. Obviously we can't just gift him the money and there'd need to be some kind of measures taken re. security etc. but I'd happily chip in a tenner or so if there were enough people willing to do the same and we could guarantee that it all went smoothly. Aside from being a heartwarming project it wouldn't half make the club & fans look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad saints fan Posted 23 May, 2016 Share Posted 23 May, 2016 Just been talking to him on Facebook, smashing bloke. I was invited to one of the fans forums a little while ago about how to get Saints known around the world.I think getting him and his family across would be a step in the right direction, I will try contacting the club and let you know what response I get.

ScepticalStan Posted 28 May, 2016 Author Share Posted 28 May, 2016 Lots of views but not so many replies... Surely we can drum up some support for Tayo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
