Anybody Who Knows Osaze Should Advise Him – Ikpeba

victor_ikpebaFormer Nigerian international, Victor Ikpeba, has expressed disappointment in Osaze Odemwingie’s recent outbursts on Twitter and the attacks on his person by the player.

While denying reports that he also retaliated Odemwingie’s attacks via a psuedo Twitter account bearing his name and image, Ikpeba said, “I don’t have a Twitter account, my organisation, Supersport, knows that. I would rather spend my precious time discussing with my family rather than engage anybody on Twitter or Facebook.”

Ikpeba further decried the bad precedent Odemwingie was setting for future players which he termed ‘dangerous.’

“People close to him (Odemwingie) should advise him. I’m waiting for the federation to issue a statement on this matter. They must take action because this is a dangerous precedent because if they don’t, others will do the same thing in future.

“How can he just go about attacking coaches, ex-players and even his colleagues like that? I played for Nigeria, I was criticised but I moved on. I was not picked for the 2002 World Cup, I moved on. Why can’t he move on,” he queried.

“In life, people will be critical of you, not everybody can agree with you. That is why credit should be given to players like Taye Taiwo and Obafemi Martins.

“They have played for this country for long, but they were omitted and they are not complaining. That’s good behaviour” the Supersport soccer pundit concluded.

  1. I hate all these criticism on football body, firstly ikpeba time has gone and let the young breath afterall you are honoured once as a.f.y, so let osaze dictate 4 his life go and rest, you envy him because of his performance in europe. OSAZE FLY AND SHINE.

    • Osaze is a good player, no doubts. But I don’t understand why you think Ikpeba is envious of him. Ikpeba and Osaze ain’t mates. Apart from the cash Osaze is making in Europe, can you point to any other achievement? Personally, I’m happy he was not invited after all. In fact he was invited but he would rather be the captian. Who is he to dictate to his coach? Can he try that WBA FC? We have had greater players in this country who were respectful to the end. Ikpeba, Okocha, Siasia, Kanu, Amocachi et al. I would rather you advised him. And when next you want to define achievment, look beyond the cash.

  2. When you treat people poorly, you don’t expect them to close their mouth n keep quiet over that. Osaze has every right to let out his feelings. You shouldn’t deny him the freedom to say whatsoever he’s got in his mind, without being rude. its even you that took cognizance of what he said n didn’t say on twitter, meaning you actually have such time also.

  3. Irrespective of Osaze’s complaints,justified or not,he stil nids 2 b mindful of how he xpress his opinions and grievances.Afterall,he’s not d only one affected.To me, he’s not matured.Maturity is needed hia in which ppl lyk Taye Taiwo nd Obafemi Matins has dsplayd it. So,he needs caution ‘cos of his future nd he should remembr dat: “life goes beyond football”.Osaze, pls, move on…

  4. Cocain or whatever you called yourself , you are the fool here if not, you will not use such language on your follow being.
    You and Osaze are the biggest coward for both of you to think you can just be accusing and abusing someone over inviting or not inviting, afterall your so call Osaze has not doing anything to help the super eagles apart from going there and corrupt others mind.
    Who’s Osaze to dictate when he should play or not?
    I pray they should ban him cos he’s a bad egg.
    And for you cocain, you stupid and envious idiot, enemy of progress that wants to see the downfall of Victor God pass you and your kind, God will surely punish all of you, you will never see good in your life, cos any tongue that rise against him (Victor) shall be condemn, he, Victor The Prince Of Monaco is a victorious over all of you not a victim.

  5. Our attitudes speak. Firstly, Osaze is not worthy of emulation because he lacks displine and science of norms. He is a player and not the coach. Coach has d absolute right to select those that will play for him. Player has no right to that in order to avoid bias. Secondly, this is not an inheritance selection, it is not a birth right, so it is totally absurd and clumsy for such an amature play of his type to be disrepectful to the coaches and his colleagues. Permit me to deviate a little, to you my fellow Nigerians, don’t comment because u can write but think meticulously before u do that.
    Remember Aristotle adage ” Man by nature is a political animal, when bounded by norms is the best of all animals but when seperated from law is worst of all” Therefore, I leave Osaze of this challange of ameliorating some of the ugly trend in his behaviour. 07061966686

  7. Ikpeba can’t even hide his envy of Osaze, why is asking any one who knows Osaze to advise him Don’t he know Osaze ? The whole news about Osaze is their conspiracy unfortunately Osaze did not handle it maturely .They should let Osaze be

  9. Ikpeba and Keshi, should leave the gentle boy alone, dis boy has done well for dis country why disgracing him now. It is nt a crime to lets ur boss knw ur feelings, if truely keshi knws his onions well his players will nt dictate for him, keshi is corrupt and nemesis will catch him up very soon. A rejected stone will now become the cheif corner stone. Dos of u cruxifying Osaz now will now bow down on his kneels begging him to honour national invitation. Afterall wat can the country offer him xcept passion and love dis guys has for dis country, shameless and stupendous Keshi and Ikpeba live Osaze alone. Keshi is nt capable of handling Eagle. A good manager must manager the service and the available material for the production and smooth running of it’s organisation, keshi u ar a bad manager u need to be sack for not knowing the right players to be invited for this game. Promise us that if u fail witout dis guys u will retire? Idiot
