Ladies and gentlemen, juxtapose this profile with those of your lazy exinternationals who sit in their parlours with empty CVs and expect jobs to be thrown at them, because they amassed 100 caps, played in 3 world cups, 7 AFCONs and a decade in Europe.
Show me any Nigerian ex-international with this sort of profile and I will personally fund campaigns to have him installed as the SE coach with immediate effect
