The former Ajax Amsterdam player was also spotted hilariously telling his players to pay 100 Naira each before boarding the bus.

Where is Nwankwo Kanu's academy?

The Papilo Academy was founded in Owerri, the Imo State, in 2000 with a primary goal of discovering and developing young players and helping them hone their football skills to become professional footballers.

Chidiebere Nwakali, Joel Obi, and Stanley Okoro are some of the notable players who have graduated from the academy in recent years.
