Back to the old ways of invitation. Nigeria football hmm!
Why not call the guy in Livingston up,Scottish first division
Nff when una go stop ojoro self wetin this guy wey no be consistent player for division 2club de do for SE??wuruwuru everywhere,every sector in d country has been compromised,I tire
This dude is a bench warmer for a second division club,can’t understand why he was invited,I’m sure Peseiro wasn’t part of this.
A great prospect,but still a second division player.
If we continue in this thread soon players in 3rd divisions will fancy their chances with the super eagles.
I hope Peseiro is not the type of coach that the NFF will control like a marionette…. I will rather home-based defender than this guy. Dude hasn’t cut it out yet in any European club he has joined.
This guy would have stayed in Belgium. He was almost a regular last season and now playing second fiddle.

I suggest the NFF should get the services of tosin adebioyo, kelvin akpoguna, Ayo Ibidapo. I think they will be good additions
