The superstars were headed for the second edition of the African Children Talent Discovery Foundation’s (ACTDF) talent hunt and mentoring programme billed for Bauchi.

Nigerian outlet Thisday are reporting that the project coordinator Emmanuel Babayaro stated the aspiring footballers who are selected would be camped.

According to Babayaro, the exercise would take place both in classroom and on the pitch, playing side-by-side with the legends. Babayaro said:

“Then those who are finally selected will play on the pitch where their mentors will also serve as their coaches before a novelty match between the Friends of Dallaji and Bauchi All Stars.”

And heading to the venue in a bus, it was all smiles as Jay Jay Okocha cracked his former teammates up.

In the clip shared by Daniel Amokachi, the ‘Bull’ wrote on Instagram:

“Whenever we together it’s always a blast… the Joker of the Posse Jay Jay Okocha keeping us cracking. Bauchi ACTDF Novelty Football Match - Kanu Nwankwo, Emmanuel Emenike.”

No doubt is will be a time to reflect on their exploits at the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations which Nigeria won, as they also reached the second round of the FIFA World Cup that same year in the United States.

Emmanuel Emenike on his path is also an AFCON winner having inspired the Super Eagles to glory at the 2013 AFCON. He finished the tournament’s joint highest goal scorer with four goals alongside Mubarak Wakaso.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that former Nigerian international Finidi George has reacted to news purportedly linking him with an appointment at his former club Real Mallorca, Brila reports.

The media was awash that the former Super Eagles winger had been appointed as the youth team coach at the Spanish club. Consequently, football fans and well-wishers took to social media as well as text messages to congratulate him on the new position.

He has however taken to social media to deny the claims, branding the report as ‘fake’ and then urged the public to disregard the news.
