Keshi comment about IK Uche in 2014

CaptainStephen:
I think he is

TheGoodJoe:


All these are long stories. Ndidi grew up under the watch of people in the barracks. He was not a man playing with children in the barracks. Whether you like it or not. Ndidi was even smaller than his peers when he was playing. He later grew in height and stature after that, which is a clear evidence of a growing boy.

Just like a 16 years old Maduabuchi Obinwa who was clearly captured at birth in the American medical system, Ndidi failing MRI does not mean overage player.

Danielnino00:


You can practise social distancing when celebrating a goal Sha

Coaching the army barracks youth team was former Nigeria international Nduka Ugbade, a tough disciplinarian who pushed the young players to their limits both physically and mentally.

“Ugbade is one of the biggest names in African football,” Africa-based sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji tells BBC Sport.

“His opinion is respected and if he speaks to you, you listen. There is no limit with him. No excuses. He is a hard trainer but will not stretch you beyond your ability.”

Still, the tough training was too much for some but, as a skinny teenager who was also smaller than his peers, Ndidi felt such a work ethic would benefit him.

‘Take the ball and pass’ – keeping it simple pays dividends.

The discipline he developed from being coached by Ugbade meant he treated every game equally – competitive or friendly – and his big chance to impress the wider world came in a tournament in Nigeria, where international scouts were watching.

Final Scores : HOFFENHEIM 0- 3 HERTHA
Kevin Akpoguma(CB) had a game to forget. He was a liability in all 3 goals conceded by Hoffenheim. The first goal came off his own boots while he failed to clear his lines in the 58th minute. He was caught ball watching instead of marking his man more closely for the second goal. Caught out of position at right back, he was turned inside and out by Matheus Cunha who had received a pass from Jordan Torunarigha. The Brazilian ran all the way to score the visitor's third.
WhoScoredRating: 5.74

Coincidentally, in the opposing side, Jordan Torunarigha(CB) also wore the number 25 shirt, and added to Akpoguma's misery by providing the assist for Hertha Berlin's third goal. Jordan contributed immensely to Hertha's away win with 94% pass accuracy, two of which were Key passes, and 3 aerials won. Jordan was the 4th highest ranked player on the pitch.

Don't care

Blueelf:


Ndidi was my younger brother's classmate at CDSS Ikeja. I will thus put his age around 26-29. I may be wrong though. Who knows.....

Danielnino00:


Why don't u ask your younger brother?

Since they were classmates,he would know his age...

Blueelf:


This sounds like a hidden insult. But I'll let it slide. Although, I did state that I may be wrong. I see no reason getting worked up over another persons age

Danielnino00:


It's no insults ..

There's been some arguments here regarding Ndidi's age because he failed MRI..
Since u kinda knew him,maybe you would help us confirm...

Blueelf:


Maybe I misinterpreted the emoji?

I asked my younger bro before typing my opinion and that was the range he gave me

Blueelf:

Danielnino00:


He gave you the figure in the range of 25-29, not the actual figure..
Which means he isn't sure...which most probably means that he doesn't know..


May I ask,which year did Ndidi finish at CDSS?

AndSunGorilla:

I honestly thought you were 23 o, abi your younger brother old pass you? Na joke o.

Blueelf:


2010

Na wa.
