Empty barrel makes a lot of noise. Typical Nigerian sickness!!!
Abegi put a cork in it…
That someone doesn’t succeed in one place doesn’t mean he can’t succeed someone else. Even Carlo Ancelotti “failed” (or at the very least was unsuccessful) at Everton. In fact, EVERY single Oyinbo coach for the SE had failed elsewhere.
Just wish him good luck and move on (if you hate him, just scroll on). This was a dude that gave so much for the Nigerian cause, including when your moronic policemen murdered his younger brother at Ibadan (RIP Igenewari).
