This is one thing I really like about Nigerians…. Whether you’re born abroad or in the country, that love is there…. That unity is there.
If not politics, NIGERIA would have been one of the most united nation in the world.
Just imagine, even with the diversity of ethnic groups, religious beliefs etc we’re still united.
Politics has really divided this country.
LMAO! Who will now honour uzoho? Which state is he even from..na wa why una dey shame for am na…lol
Uzoho has been honored by the FG and the president. He does not need additional honour by his state of origin because he wasn’t exceptional.
It is therefore a challenge to him and others to work harder, regain their form because hence forth its a fight for the SE Shirt
Union Troost made us all proud.
An even better way to honour him and his colleagues is to pay his complete match bonus on time.
NFF ONIGBESE, over to you. Make unu shake body!
