He should have been Given an opportunity to feature in Eagles for AFCON however Aboki see Aboki do, Quota system irregardless, if Yusuf Is just there on to appease northerners because why was he not utilised in the Playoffs?.. So it just means that even after missing out of World Cup Nigerian Government is hellbent on their Ways weather it hurts the team or irrespective of it it weakens the teams chances they do not Care. A Failed Country. NIGERIA IS A FAILED STATE!!!!!
Thumbs up Brother man @Ugo. U go see happiness always. Lols
The crucial matches in the playoffs we needed him most, what did he do? Played nonsense against South africa and other matches. Abeg, I am pleased with him not being in the squad. Infact, the south africa match really showed that he no sabi. Anything, una go dey blame as if he hasn’t being invited multiple times to prove himself. How many times did that young defender play for Nigeria and he started performing brilliantly
@Seedorf what did Yusuf contribute in the Playoffs?? Yusuf was not even utilised which is to show that it was not the coaches Decision to include him in the first place!!!!…..
Now, if Uche is hitting form at the right time and our Midfield has been so poor does it not make better sense for Nigerian Super Eagles to include Uche now that he has settled at his new PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB and is showing the form that Made Crystal Palace sign him on loan in the first Place??…. I mean it will clearly boost our Chances in AFCON especially as our midfield is weak and we don’t even have a Free kick taker Uche might I add gives decent free kicks. You are probably a Northerner hence you sence is tribalisitc. Mtcheeeww
Chisanthus Uche deserves to be in the list of 28 for the Nigerian super eagles if we are serious for the Nations cup.
