Another said, “Onome herself should know it's time to give way for the younger ones but she doesn't want to quit when the ovation is high, that is if it's even still high.”
Another fan reacted, “Heheh, in fact, na she supposed to first announce before Oparanozie 😅”
Another replied, “Not just Onome there are 2 or 3 more that are no longer as effective in the squad but if the coach keeps calling them and they respond nothing we can do.”
A fan commented, “Onome Ebi should read the room and take a bow from this team; she lacks match fitness and sharpness. It's a shame she's still getting called up.”
