“It’s a dream come true for me that finally, I will honour the invitation of the Super Eagles to serve my fatherland. “
“Although I have played for the U23 in the Olympics but playing for the senior team, Super Eagles, is a special kind of pride. I’m grateful to God for this opportunity and everybody that believe in me. I hope to do my very best to make Nigeria proud”.

Any coach of the Super Eagĺes who cannot drop Musa and Shehu is not better than Rohr.
Wait, on a serious note. Have you watched Ahmed Musa recently? I mean in that Turkish league? Please do.
You too ve u also watched him lately?? So long as care musa is outdated!!
Ako Amadi spot on including Ighalo. The only returnee needed in that team is Victor Moses period!
In other words any animal that walk on two leg is an enemy.
