So what’s in it Aisha, the owner of the cup that brought FIFA/CAF to Nigeria? Not even a number 28 jersey? FIFA/CAF/Buhari will soon rightly be accused of a snobbish and chauvinistic attitude. We don’t oppress women here, please.
ThankGod they didn’t give him a green number 10 jersey. Keep the blue Jersey we don’t mind. As long as Iwobi’s number 10 SE jersey did not enter your hands.
So Iwobi wears jersey no 10 in SE? Bro na Aribo’s jersey be that o, Iwobi na no 17.
