Ogu Admits He Misses National Team, Hails Nigerian Ronaldo

Nigeria international midfielder John Ogu admits that he misses the national team setup and would like to return to the team if given the opportunity.


The 26-year-old, who currently plays for Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva, made his debut for Nigeria in March 2013 against Kenya and got his first goal in a friendly against Mexico in the same year.

However, since he was dropped from the 2014 World Cup squad by Coach Stephen Keshi, he has not found a way back into the team, which, unfortunately, failed to qualify for the 2015 African Cup of Nations (AFCON), majestically won by Cote d’Ivoire.

During a Twitter chat, Ogu was asked if he missed the Super Eagles and he replied with a thumbs up.

”Of course, yes…. I love my country.. Always available if selected, ” he wrote.

He then went on to praise Nigeria’s latest sensation in Belgium, Moses Simon with Gent: “Moses Simon with Gent in Belgium is a beast… #Baller.

Ogu was part of the Super Eagles squad that represented Nigeria at the 2013 FIFA Confederation Cup in Brazil.
