What happened to this fellow?
At 26, he should be in his prime.
It might be worth it for someone in the NFF to keep communication lines open. The talent is there. If he can overcome any issues he’s currently dealing with, he could be useful to Nigeria someday, somehow.
With a little encouragement, that could happen.
Some that cannot pass trial at a league club is what NFF should keep a line of communication with? Hian na wa oo!! Naija una go take anything sha! No standard again!!! Please let’s be guided o.
