Chai! My people, make una gather here, make we gists about Maduka Okoye wahala wey dey trend for Nigerian football. E get as e be, as former captain Sunday Oliseh don yan the reason why our goalpost man, Okoye, no wan join Super Eagles for AFCON 2025 wey dey happen for Morocco.

As dem release provisional squad, everybody dey jolly say Okoye dey there. But when final list come drop, na im see say Eric Chelle pick Francis Uzoho and Amas Obasogie instead. Oliseh con talk am say goalkeepers dey different, dem need special treatment. Dem no fit dey play like outfield players wey fit just waka come back after benching. Na dem get serious stress for confidence and club form.

Oliseh dey reason am well, o! E mention say, ‘the goalkeeper, dem be different race.’ If dem no sure say dem go play, wahala go dey. For Okoye, the babe dey fear say if e no start for AFCON, e go affect am for Udinese wey e dey shine now. Dis boy don suffer for social media before, and Oliseh fit talk say if na him pick Okoye for paddy, e go advice am to take time off to reset him life.

We all sabi say Okoye dey rebuild him career well-well for Udinese, and Oliseh reason am say to carry come play for AFCON without guarantee say e go start fit spoil all the work wey him don do. He dey focus on him club and future, na im make sense wey Oliseh back him decision. Oliseh come dey vex say people dey call Okoye unpatriotic; him con remind us say goalkeepers require different kind of training and assurance for playing time.

Even though Okoye no join dem for AFCON, e dey still perform mad for Udinese. Oliseh dey urge fans to understand say players no be slaves to national team; dem need consider their career before anything. Meanwhile, UK journalist, Samuel Omaenikun, don come support Okoye too, sey everybody gatz respect him decision. Okoye sabi say if him go sit down for bench for Nwabali side, e no go fit chook head for the competition without guarantee say he go play.

Nigerians fit no understand, but dem no gatz castigate Okoye for prioritizing him career. Before dis, everybody don dey talk say NFF and Super Eagles coach dey wahala for social media because of Okoye omission. But as Oliseh con drop dis wisdom, e get as e be. Na just football, but na career! Make we no forget sey na dem players dey carry our pride, but dem still get dem own life to build.
