Iheanacho is a GOAT. He will be unstoppable for Nigeria in the 2023 Afcon.
Heaven bless Iheanacho and all deserving Super Eagles players.
Heaven bless all the die hard supporters of senior man.
They always believe in senior man, no matter what, against all odds.
NFF, please pay senior man his match bonus arrears. Thanks in advance.
Well said Brodaman Pompei. You are one of the few people who make me come here to comment on Nigerian football. It is time the NFF stopped owing players wages.
