Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi paid a courtesy visit to respected TVC journalist Babajide Kolade‑Otitoju (BKO) last week, a moment gathered after the broadcaster posted details on his official Facebook handle.
Babajide Kolade‑Otitoju revealed that Ndidi made sure to stop by his office during the visit, where he presented the midfielder with a copy of his book. He also praised Ndidi’s physical condition, noting how trim yet remarkably strong the defensive midfielder appeared.
This was BKO’s statement on Facebook:
Super Eagles captain, Wilfred Ndidi came calling last week to TVC. He made sure he didn’t leave without seeing me in my office and I was honoured to present my book to him. I noticed he is so trim yet this defensive midfielder is so strong physically.
We discussed the Super Eagles absence at the ongoing World Cup, a pain that both us share. Long live the Super Eagles.
Kolade‑Otitoju further explained that their conversation touched on Nigeria’s absence from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a disappointment shared by millions of fans and echoed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who openly criticised the team’s failure to qualify.
Softfootball understands that Nigeria missed out on an automatic ticket despite a strong finish in the qualifiers, later falling short in the playoffs after a decisive defeat to DR Congo.
