Which kain bad market be dis?
Get well soon, young man.
Omo, as long as he can walk, I would sub him in at the 90 minute mark. Let him be limping around on the pitch. We need to cap tie this dude.
Orban is already part of the team no matter what……he has openly swear allegiance to Nigeria and debunked the Togo issue so am good…..Get well soon orban we need you in the Afcon.
This is not good news at all. Cap him if only for few minutes. Let me hope someone did not deliberately injured him because of jealousy.
There are enemies even within than without.
IT IS A PLAN WORK BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT HE WILL AUTOMATICALLY DISPLACE IHEANACHO, AWONIYI, MUSA OUT OF SUPER EAGLE.
THEIR COUP WILL NOT SUCCEED IN NEXT MATCH
Wow.
Please can you kindly expatiate on this your information…? I am really interested in this story.
Who are the planners…?
Where did they map out the plan…?
How many of you were there…? because for you to have such information, either you, or someone close to you was present.
When was the plan hatched pls….?
Who was designated with the task of carrying out the plan…?
Can you please share us a link to this story….either an internet link or a contact person who can shed us more light on the story…?
Orban is an average player. We wish him speedy recovery but he is not a starting 11 player. There are others far better than him. Simon, Chukwueze, Ejuke and Emmanuel Dennis are better.
@ Ignatius not everyone in the squad is a starting 11 player. There are 23 players in a squad.
And yes, I would still sub him in at the 90th minute to cap tie him
