Joseph Yobo Replies Odemwingie
Published: December 28, 2012
Nigeria skipper Joseph Yobo has responded to Peter Odemwingie's Twitter rant.
It would be recalled that Odemwingie criticized the Fenerbahçe central defender, saying that the Super Eagles do not have a team leader.
''Osaze has been reckless, disrespectful to most people, He's not a kid, he should grow. We cannot continue to baby sit him. He is responsible for his problems," Yobo told Brila FM.
He added: "This is not the first time he has been disrespectful. He is fighting all the coaches and at the World Cup he also disrespected me and he later apologized.He is not the (Lionel) Messi or (Cristiano) Ronaldo of Nigeria. He should look at himself in the mirror."
Joseph Yobo concluded by commending Eagles gaffer Stephen Keshi for the provisional squad he picked for the African Cup of Nations.
