Nigeria: Kanu Wants Eagles Starting Shirt

Awka — Super Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu is apparently tired of widespread suggestions that his bench warming role in the national team is an indication that he has passed his prime.

The Portsmouth of England star has said that his silence over the situation has run dry and declared that he will be starting future games of the Eagles, considering that he has watched the state of affairs for a while.

"Go and tell everybody, Kanu is starting every game and Kanu is going to play. Why I kept quiet is that, in life, you live things as they come and look on. "But, when you look, you tell yourself enough is enough, because I'm not seeing anything different," Papillo blasted.
