This Orban will do well. Nigeria needs to cap him or else he will go to Togo.
NFF must compel Peseiro to recall quality and active players like Orban, Boniface , Adarabioyo,Alhassan Ibrahim,Vincent Onovo, Usman Mohammed,Osigwe,Kalib Okoli, Tyronne Ebeuhi, than to recall shaky players who haven’t any enthsusiam and dedication for Super Eagles , if he like to win AFCON. Cup and to qualify for the next World Cup 2026 in USA , Mexico,Canada.

Wishful thinking that coach will not Cap Orban. He is to busy dancing to the tune of local mentality NFF. Village people who are suppose to have international exposure from all the monies they have been chopping.
NFF are destroyers they will not cap Orban thier priority is NPFL. Yet when players get the International accolade that Victor Osimhen and Chukwueze are doing now. The bastards will be the first to fly on a plane and take credit to the world press that those boys are from Nigeria. Assholes those NFF people complte assholes.
