In a chat with sl10.ng the coach who had managed Omeruo at the Under-17 and
Under-20 level said his consistency with the Eagles puts him in pole
position to captain the team in the future.
"Omeruo has shown tremendous consistency in the National team
since he broke into the team and even though they are other senior
players ahead of him in the team,his consistency might get it for him
ahead of the rest"
"His case is similar to that of Yobo, who broke into the team as a
right full back,claimed the centre back position and even though they
were players ahead of him in the pecking order, he was named captain, I
see Omeruo captaining the Eagles in the future."
The Coach said he is proud to have nurtured Eddy Onazi and
Kenneth Omeruo who are sure bet to be at the World cup with the Super
Eagles.
"It's only normal for me to be happy seeing boys I picked from
academies four years ago,going to the World cup and my work as Coach of
the Nigeria Youth teams will be greatly appreciated when 8 of my youth
players start a game for the Super Eagles"
Obuh coached the Nigeria Under-17 and Under-20 team from 2009 to 2013 when he resigned after the World cup in the UAE.
