Osaze Odemwigie



One thing you cannot take away from Osaze Odemwingie is that he is a very good player and has proven that especially with west brom in the English premier league. He is a match winner, and he is quite an asset for his club. His contribution to west brom is noteworthy. Unfortunately that cannot be said of him regarding his relationship with the national team i.e super eagles and his unending attack of the national coach in the person of Stephen Keshi especially since he was dropped from the squad that eventually represented Nigeria and won the Africa Cup of Nations.
 His continuous rant on twitter is unbecoming of him and needs to be emphasized. It is not all about being a skillful player one is talking about here but character and a good one at that.Osaze seem to lack character in terms of giving respect to whom it is due afterall respect is reciprocal.He can go on twitter and attack who he deems fit. What I do not understand is if it is just all about his absence at the nations cup, or there is more than meets the eyes.Over night he has turned to become a proud or is it a rebellious player of no consequence.Players that towed this path in times past got their fingers burnt as for Osaze, his may be worse. It is said that pride goeth before a fall,so I really dont know the amount of wealth and cup glories he has achieved that will want to make his head turn but his can obviously not be compared to some before him like Kanu Nwankwo, Finidi George, or even Yaya Toure currently who are all level headed. If  Osaze has advisers they should please do an extra work on him as he is on the path of destruction!
I have nothing against him as a player but his character is offensive to me without doubt. My  advise is he should turn from these negative tendencies and be face his football.
