Welcome home boy. May your time in the Super Eagles be filled with successes, trophies and great achievements.
Solid player with good delivery, I am looking forward to a total dominant performance from Osihmen’s led Attacking Super Eagles!
Did you not say Rohr will not invite him ahead of Collins and Zaidu?You are here shouting hosanna now. Lmao!! Ngwa Rohr will ignore him for Collins, Ngwa I know Rohr he will never invite him. Lmao!! I’m sure you’re now eating your words and stepping them down with Lacazera Lmao!!
Nice to see you back home…
I wish you the very best of outings with the super eagles of Nigeria now and forever. Ameen.
The team is gradually taking a fantastic shape going to the AFCON…
Hope to see players like Ademola Lookman and ovie ejaria back home too in November. What the super eagles really need now is a ball-playing playmaker who is capable to retain ball possession for the team..
As for scoring we don already get them aplenty. I want to special salute Steven Gerrard for helping Nigeria develop Bassey.
Looking like Olise is going to pitch his tent with Algeria but for every player we lose there’s like 5 or more to be discovered with the abundance of talents we have in this generation so no worries. Algerian officials are reported to have promised him an automatic spot if they qualify for the WC.
