Congratulations! May God make everything easy for you to excel
Is he a defender or a winger
He is a defender in the first paragraph and a winger in the second.No.i mean sorry.He is a defensive winger. Others might see him as a winger with defensive qualities. Brother I’m as confused as Nigeria and the CS writer. Inshort the guy is an Eyimba player invited to make the numbers as a direct beneficiary of covid related setback. He is a child of circumstance. He is Nigerian and he was invited but na when camp don full ,my paddy go get room for Eko hotel
