Josh Maja na baller a beg. If this guy had gone to Cameroon instead of Awoniyi or Umar we would by now be in the final. Maja is far better than most other Super Eagles strikers.
God why do Nigeria think like this so if Maja was with us we will still be in the final . Is Maja better than the stars in Algeria or Ivory Coast? My guy find better things to say or do . Who is Maja that will suddenly transform eagles into a killer squad is he Cr or Messi
Lolzzzz. I don talk my own. If you no like am na your business be dat. People come here feeding yeye Iwobi down our throats on a daily basis. I now praise a credible striker and you are shedding crocodile tears. Lolzzzz. Heaven bless Maja the great. Lolzzzz
