Ajayi the jumbo jet. No defender can lace your boots on the continent. You are far better than others.
Heaven bless Ajayi and all deserving Super eagle players.
You are right @ Abo. He is a good defender and calm also. It’s a pity NFF is not doing much to push these players further. If he had been that consistent with eagles better club would have come to pick on him. Not all players can be Osimhein, chukwu, in terms of skills and abundance, some players are average but with good management they can be world class. Most of english players are below average but with the help of FA they have raised their standard to be among world best. Samething applies to Nigeria students who managed to graduate with pass or third class but when they travel abroad they have the best of grades because the facilities and the friendliness of their teachers instill confidence and courage in them to face their fear.
Finally we fans should also be patient and encourage our players to bring out the best in them. God help us all
Ajayi the Quiet Giant! He’s not a dazzler, but goes about his job like an efficient carpenter. With his height, he could score few headers for the Super Eagles.
