“He’s not fully fit”. “He’s just coming back from injury”. Rohr is just like buhari he doesn’t make supporting job easy for his morons
@Chinenye now you can see clear the man is not honest. It was business he was conducting and a guy like Jamilu Collins is signed to his affiliate player management agency… he is just promoting the guy with games ahead of the likes of Calvin Bassey and Zaidu who already with established clubs and probably have refused his agency management… Show me a whiteman anywhere in this world who will be owed 8months salary without complaining? He was running deals with Amaju Pinnick and their companies… they are all collecting percentages from player transfers and bonuses one way or the other.
Really…
I’m shocked
