Another gambling game has commenced trial and error
If you think keshi is a mediocre hit like

I dnt know about Emenike but Keshi said he called Obi several times but there was no response...

Time will tell how this plays out

Nice

Wetin be the problem between mikel and keshi

Na him sabi... So far make he win the match.

I don't think we really need Mikel in our squad considering the lack of playing time at Chelsea,There are many talents who can perform far better than Mikel.

Okk

Are they bringing fuel??

Where is Mikel Obi?
Last Bullet
Is Keshi crazy abi he's suffering from lack of fuel?
