Former Super Eagles’ midfielder, John Ugochukwu Ogu (Suker) has received a strong opening and contact to join a new club from the most unlikely source, as renowned Nigerian pop singer, David Adeleke (aka Davido) has linked him up with a footballers’ agent, megasportsarena.com reports.
In one of the most unexpected football connections ever ignited by a Nigerian on behalf of another, Davido has paved the way for Ogu to link up with a new club in the January transfer window, and the towering midfielder admitted he is delighted with the opportunity.
The 32-year-old Ogu, who has been clubless since being declared surplus to requirements by Al-Adalah of Saudi Arabia when he returned late to the team after the summer holidays, hailed Davido for speaking to an agent on his behalf in view of helping him secure a new club.
The Eagles’ former alternate captain, who has also previously played for Academica de Coimbra of Portugal, Almeria of Spain and Hapoel Be’er Sheva of Israel, went on to describe Davido as a good example of how other Nigerians should behave and used the opportunity to appreciate all football fans that support him.
Ogu took to social media to reveal his houghts and he posted: “@davido Thank you. When I saw your post on how you contacted @IamMayorKun ,I felt so happy . People might think it’s all for clout but OBO,you are really an amazing guy. You don’t know me but yet you spoke to an agent in Dubai when you went for a show for me. I love you ❤️.
“I won’t even lie, this is the longest time I have spent in Lagos Nigeria and the love people show me on the street is just massive. I won’t even lie sometimes it gets me emotional that people love me that much and the name JOHN OGU is a brand.
“They be like bruh you are one celebrity that don’t act like one and I’m like bro forget we all grew up in the street and I know how hard it is for us all. I don’t need to start faking all. We dey together. They be like you are too free and open.
“Yes I’m but don’t take my being open for granted. They be like we want to see through you, you can’t see through me because I’m not the type to be carried away. I was taught to be discipline as my profession taught me all that. I won’t even lie I love everyone showing me love and support.”
