Una don hear am? Wey dem dey talk say two new stars don land for Super Eagles? Na true o! Young boys, Akinsanmiro and Nnadi, don enter our national squad for AFCON and dem dey ready to show wetin dem fit do!

21 and 22 years old, dem just dey start but the talent wey dey inside dem no be small. When dem come play for pre-tournament game against Egypt, even though Nigeria lose 2-1, dem shine pass plenty players. E clear say if na dem be the future of our midfield, e go better well!

Akinsanmiro wey start for Beyond Limits academy, don climb up the ladder sharp sharp. After dem promote Remo Stars to NPFL, he don dey catch row for Inter Milan since 2023. Na loan him dey go Pisa now, but e don already collect two man-of-the-match award for 11 league appearances!

But make we hear wetin the boy talk. E say, ‘I don dey dream to play for national team since I dey under 17. I just believe say if I dey push myself, we go see am one day.’ E no go fit show him level well against Egypt, but na the coach wey wan use am high up the pitch, no be say him no fit play!

Nnadi wey dey play for Zulte Waregem, too don carry praise for him head. Him dey look as if dem no fit shake am for midfield. E dey demand ball, dey pass am well and na him dey make sure say im team dey joosh! ‘I go work hard, I dey ready to fight for the team and win AFCON,’ Nnadi talk.

These young boys dey represent wetin Nigeria dey look for. History no dey lie; Nigeria don always carry stars come out for AFCON. Remember Amunike wey score those two goals for the final in 1994? Or Osaze wey scatter Bafana Bafana in 2004? E fit be say Akinsanmiro and Nnadi go join this legends list!

Despite say dem no play wellfully for AFCON yet, but our coach, Eric Chelle, fit give dem chance for the next match. If dem na real stars, we go see am for pitch. We dey watch as history fit repeat again and who know, maybe we go discover the next hero of our time!
