Political statement Hahahahaha. So you are combining football with politics.
…..And you have never read anything about the carnage in the southeast? Shame on you, your brothers are been killed on daily basis here….
You mean the UGM drama. Something serious please.
My Mikel, if not that you are someone I just love….mehn, I would have said something bad. Please, just face your football career and leave those guys with whatever you’ve been reading, cos you don’t know those snakes. As far as I’m concerned, there is no politician that is up to PAR in Nigeria, considering the resources we have, and as well the revenue generated and received by those shameless criminals, from the top to the later…….They are all criminals, which need to be arrested. I love you Mikel.
