Mr Sunday Oliseh you should shut up there, you and your band of ex footballers have no qualm praising Overseas based African stars from other countries when they perform for our rivals, it is as if you only manage to see their value when they are from other countries however, when it comes to your own country Nigeria. you will want to sabotage players on the same level as your so called “Simply” Africa’s best Mane. by ridiculing them and saying NPFL players deserve spots in SE over them. this is the mentality I hate about Nigerians effective measures always seem to be good for others but not for Nigeria. SMH!!!
