Yeah folks. That’s the guy the SE lost out on.
A guy that could have added huge value to the SE. Quality player with a golden attitude.
Dude loves Nigeria so much, he’s giving back to a system that gave him nothing. A system that would not even give him a fair chance to showcase his talent. Imagine how committed this guy could have been.
As long as nepotism and corruption continue in our football, we will have a long line of David Alabas, talents lost due to greed, corruption and incompetence.
Nigeria’s loss is Austria’s gain. They kuku appreciate him over there, so much that they made him their captain! While our people here are busy prioritizing their fat protruding bellies.
You’ve said it all Pompei.
OGA if you like have 10,000 of their ALABA in your TEAM.
With a COACH that is not as GOOD as GENERAL ROAH, and with a BAD ADMINISTRATOR as PI NICK, your TEAM will still have no VALUE…
Infact am even HAPPY that HE is ENJOYING HIS CAREER with another COUNTRY(GOD knows BEST) rather than with a TEAM that is ADMINISTERED by people who care so much about their FAT PROTRUDING BELLIES like you said…
