Oh boy stay in Gala Henry.. there is ur destiny to shine ok
Onyekuru is a ,massive player we should all support him with prayers, he is our own. As of today onyekuru is far better than musa, no sentiment.
Sorry to say but this comment sounds so daft!
Which Onyekuru needs your prayers?? This one that if Fatih Terim should be sacked as Gala coach today and the new coach puts him on bench for two games, he assumes he knows better than the Coach and his technical crew and he will start calling them names saying they have “there team”. Yeye. Abeg Oga don’t even compare this novice to Legendary Musa at all. So disrespectful to my ears
Destined to be a Gala!
