Victor Ikpeba (The prince of Monaco) should be taught some
manners of approach whenever he's anchoring on SuperSport, and see himself as
role model to these guys instead of downgrading his veracity (Former African
footballer of the year). The bottom line is that some of the so called ex-internationals
are yearning for total constancy from the foreign based players whenever they
are on international duties, claiming that they are once a player like them in
the past and they want to be seen GOD FATHER (to the foreign-based stars who
are currently earning more money than the ex-internationals) which I think will
be difficult except the local players (who are hungry of Europe move).
West Brom striker Osaze Odemwingie who has been left out of
Nigeria’s team to the 2013 Africa Nations Cup has reacted angrily to his
exclusion lashing out at Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi and the Nigeria
Football Federation. The Nigerian spent time on social network Twitter giving
his own story and attacking anyone perceived to have played a role in his being
cut from the team.
Osaze’s twitter rant was wrong!!! But he has a point at some
inner digs. YES! YES!! YES!!! Because our ex-internationals natter too much
especially on live programmes, reproving players WRONGLY...
And these players idolised their rising to these so-called
ex-internationals but they never reciprocate it, instead they go against them
in the media. It's unfair... We all know the calibre of Ikpeba but he should have
remain noiseless and look for ways to end his grudge with Osaze instead of
using that as prospect.
The Nigerian striker expressed disgust at having to learn of
his non-inclusion through the media, insisting it showed lack of
professionalism. He maintained that Keshi lied on the reasons given for his
exclusion and fingered what he described as other reasons outside the game of
football.
WHY DID HE SNUBBED HIM in the first place? That illustrate
how bungling he is in the team. He boogies to some tones; he conferred with his
old days Caber (Mafia) to DANGLES on the in-form WestBrom star. That means
Keshi cannot manage some certain players in the national team (Even there are
still some CRAZY players in his 32 man provisional list) but only waiting to
show their SWAGGER from bench in South Africa.
I think Keshi should learn some acts from Sir Alex Ferguson
who was able to manage ‘talented’ but obstinate players like Wayne Rooney and
Eric Cantona as crazy as they are, baba still used them to achieve his burning
desires (trophies) which is the ultimate one. That means Keshi does not have ‘CHARACTERS’
in the team because of how he got the contract. And that is why he listened to
Ikpeba and co...
Keshi acts like a motor Boris that is why Osaze got the
chance to pounce on him and NFF
Osaze should know by now that his service is no longer
needed in the national team colours again, not even a road-side orange seller
will like to see him in Nigeria colours again.
I think the guys is trying to reveal some hidden stuff which
I believe will be expose sooner or later..
OSAZE SAID:
“Keshi has no
footballing reasons not to invite me but is not saying the truth. He is still
in my plans he said haha coach u no dey my plans.
“On my non-inclusion to the Eagles list I am not surprised.
Not surprised Keshi and NFF couldn’t tell me themselves. No personality!
“We talk through press hahaha how come I am the only
stubborn one but no ex-Eagles player was sent off from the team with respect?
This is all a comedy and our poor fans are being fed with lies while they
cutting the cake for themselves.”
“NFF spokesman told MTN he is arrogant? I am arrogant? Why
did country’s president threaten to close down our federation for two years?”
“Nff member just called me. Of cos got insulted. I told him
I sang national anthem for ten years to be treated like this.”
In one of the several tweets Osaze complained that the
national team has not had “a real captain” for many years and suggesting that
it had effect on the team.
He said, “This might sound disrespectful but Eagles had no
good captain for many years. Everyone looking only after himself.”
Osaze did not limit his outbursts to Keshi as he
also dared any other challenger.
He said, “To some who wanna put mouth here please act like
men. When two men talk 3rd has nothing to do. So Ikpebas and the rest talk to
me face2face.”
The Eagles striker who has had several clashes over the
years with different national coaches went down the memory lane as he explained
all that transpired between him and a former Eagles coach Samson Siasia and
Lars Lagerback. He alleged that Siasia dropped him because he did not endorse
him for the Eagles top job.
He wrote, “Cos after we got Olympic silver I didn’t say
Siasia is ready for Eagles he waited till he gets the job to axe me?
“Me and Apam begged him to take (Sani) Kaita in the Olympic
team. He told us he wants to play Efe Ambrose there who is a centre back? Good
plan. The only reason me and Siasia fell out was over kits that were not enough
‘cos they were on sale as the Olympics were on going. Shame!
“WBA needed me back for an important game and
Siasia refused to let me miss a midweek friendly game?
“Why didn’t Lagerback
continue with Super Eagles after World Cup? Chop and run was his plan and they
knew it.”
