Osimhen settles Finidi George feud
The drama unfolded after Finidi's shock resignation as Super Eagles boss following two matches in charge following alleged reports that the former Ajax man stated he won’t beg Osimhen to play for Nigeria.
However, Ogu, a former Super Eagles midfielder, has now revealed that the striker has taken responsibility for his actions.
)
Has he apologised? I am sure he has," Ogu said, providing a more personal perspective on the heated exchange in a video on Instagram.
Ogu, who represented Nigeria at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, described Osimhen as a "good boy" and a "respectful" individual, even from his under-17 days.
)
This insight paints a more human picture of the striker, suggesting that his outburst may have been an understandable reaction to being accused of faking an injury or refusing to play for the national team.
"Osimhen, to say he won't play for Nigeria or fake injury? It's not possible. He is a fighter, he wants to win, I know him for that one," Ogu emphasised, highlighting Osimhen's competitive spirit and dedication to the Super Eagles.
)
The former midfielder also revealed that he had reached out to Osimhen, advising him to "relax" amid the heated exchange with Finidi.
This gesture of support and understanding reflects the unity and mentorship that often exists within the Nigerian football community.
The feud has reignited concerns over the state of the Super Eagles, with questions being raised about the management of the squad and the relationships between players and coaches.
However, Ogu's intervention offers a more empathetic perspective, reminding us that these are not just athletes, but human beings navigating the complexities of professional football.
