Welcome bobo, Nigeria is happy to have you… More goals to your boot.
Thus is still a kid who cannot make his own career choices. At 15 he cannot even predict his future. He may not even know where Nigeria is on a world map. Leave the poor boy alone to enjoy playing football without pressure.
This is a paid PR from CS. The target is under 17 world cup. Well CS to chop now. So I am not surprised.
