Aina is angry with NFF because they abandoned him when he got injured on international duty.
I bet with elections in 3 months, Ogbu will literally be abandoned by the same NFF.
Now, I understand why many players play largely touch me not games when they come for international games.
NFF, ride on (more appropriate, NFF under Gusau and Sanusi)
