Former Black Stars defender, Shilla Illiasu has shared an inspiring story about how ‘the once-upon a time shinning star‘ has now resorted to maize farming in the north.

Shilla Illiasu who once played for Kumasi Asante Kotoko and King Faisal, both in Kumasi, told Asempa FM that he’s now based in the Northern Region growing maize and other crops on his farm.

The former black stars defender revealed his decision to venture into farming is one that is solely personal and does not mean he is broke since he has buses working for him. He said he chose farming because he wanted to get occupied amidst making passive cash from other investments.

“I am staying in Tamale in the Northern region,” he told Asempa FM on the Sports Nite Program.

“I am now a farmer growing maize and other stuff; I don’t need money and the decision was purely personal….I have buses working for me but I decided to get myself occupied with something and farming for me, was the best thing,” he added.

“What I can remember is that I was very benevolent. It was not like I went to church or mosque but if I noticed those around me were in difficulty, I came to their aid to out smiles on their face…. For instance, if they were doing church or mosque projects, I would go and support if I felt the need…..So that’s what I can remember, I loved giving and it helped my career,” he concluded.
