Many fans and commentators are curious by Saka’s visit, but no one knows why he’s there. He may go on a personal mission to spend time with his extended family and rediscover his Nigerian roots, according to others. It is widely believed that he is considering methods to support grassroots football programs or participate in humanitarian endeavors as a means to give back to the community from where his parents are originally from. Saka’s journey back to Lagos strengthens his connection to Nigeria and highlights the importance of embracing one’s ancestry.
