Hahahaha….Mr Akpoborie, the chief advocate for local coaches and homebased players in the SE, importing foreign doctors to come and conduct medical checkups….LMAOoo.
What an Irony…!
This is how you know that all these noisemaking ex this and that are only making these noise for personal gains and nothing more.
When push comes to shove, they actually know what is right to do, but will not voice it out so as to remain in the good books of “potential employers”
