shocked





The Jersey Number 10 is the most revered and iconic number in world football.
That particular jersey number always gives me goosebumps considering the number of legendary playmakers that have donned that number.

To this end, Joe Aribo should know the weight of that Number 10 and should not disappoint.


That guy that dances on DSTV for BetKing wore that number for Nigeria and he was magical and excellent with the ball.

Someone should tell Aribo not to disappoint me in particular.

We will always support and love our Super Eagles,
There is no other country we can call our own.

It's already difficult for this team to score goals, not to talk of when there is no recognized strikers.
