All the same, I salute Christian Chukwu for his efforts, his selflessness and his hard work. He has served his country to the best of his ability. The predicament that we are in, right now, is not soley of his making and we should all keep that in mind.

The two players are in different worlds. Ade is too young to be compared to Kanu. Kanu has been around and has raked in laurels upon laurels. If he is not scoring, he is assisting; and if he is not, he is entertaining ... one of the finest players in the world. Please for past times, compare Kanu to Brazilian Socrates..bbc606

Out of all those players, Amodu thinks Olifinjana is the best DM option.

And we somehow think that given those odds, one that is lucky enough to find himself in camp for an age group tournament will be dumb enough to confess he's 28 not 17?
