  • John Ogu was spotted attempting what a disc jockey does as he tried to mix some trending Naija songs inside his home
  • The Nigerian international recently joined Israeli outfit Maccabi Jaffa and will hope to impress next season
  • Ogu shared a clip showing the moment he tried to change songs as a DJ, but he was far from impressive during the attempt

Nigerian international John Ogu has shared a clip capturing the moment he took to the ‘wheels of steel’ to mix trending Nigerian songs.

The 34-year-old, who recently joined Israeli club Maccabi Jaffa, continued his off-season break and may be considering a side gig in ‘DJing’ according to the clip.

Ogu, who also had a stint with Hapoel Be’er Sheva was however, far from impressive as he appeared a little confused, scratching the decks off, Soccernet reports.

He featured for the Nigerian national team in 26 matches and scored a goal, but he did not enjoy call-ups under former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.

Having recently moved to Israel, Ogu has continued his career in spite of the long break he had as he tried to find a new club, spending the last few months at Hapoel Nof Hagalil before joining Maccabi Jaffa in May 2022.

In a Twitter post, he wrote; “DJ Ogu ti wa online”, but he’s still a bit off the mark. Perhaps the coming days hold more.

Ogu narrates how a coach told him to avoid national team call up

Meanwhile, John Ogu has reacted to the trending topic as regards the lack of respect for African players, as well as the AFCON tournament.

The 33-year-old disclosed how a manager at his former club in Portugal, Académica, requested that he faked an injury to avoid being called up to the national team.

This is coming against the backdrop of a number of European clubs’ threat not to release African stars for the forthcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ogu recounts his experience with the Nigerian police

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ogu has recounted his experience with a member of the Nigerian Police Force telling him that his gun is his mode of identification.

The three-time Israeli Premier League winner made the comment on his social media platform during the one-year remembrance of the innocent citizens murdered in cold blood in October 2020.

He said the uniformed man asked for his identification and he simply told him his name is the only ID he had, but the policeman was angered by his response, adding that he showed his gun as his mode of ID.
