It will be recalled that Yobo and Onazi were instrumental in Nigeria’s triumph at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa when Nigeria was crowned African champions for the third time with Yobo as team captain.

Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup was the last time we played together and it was a big privilege playing along with him in the Super Eagles…I used to call him ‘senior man’ because of the respect I have for him and because of his personality.
