Nigerian Sportsman Akim Aliu Chooses The Oddest Profession For Africa
A Nigerian sportsman of Ukrainian origin, Akim Aliu, who has chosen to play hockey as a proffesion has signed a contract with a KHL (Kontinental Hockey League) club.
A 26-year-old hockey player joined Khabarovsk "Amur" November 8.
"The contract with striker Akim Aliu was signed on Friday. The agreement is designed to end the season," said the press service of the club of the Continental Hockey League.
Akim Aliu is the son of Nigerian man and Ukrainian woman, who lived in Kiev, Ukraine, up to ten years. After the family moved to Canada, Aliu started hockey and in 2007 was drafted by the club "Chicago Blackhawks" in the second round under 56-set tiebreak.
Later he played in the systems of several clubs of the National Hockey League. The NHL striker made his debut in April 2012 on account of his seven games and three runs scored. Last season, he played in the lower American leagues.

Being a hockey player is a tough job, Akim receives lots of traumas.
However, being a sportsman has its own advantages, Akim travels a lot and has a gourgeus body.
Thanks,
