“Stanley is my brother, you know, when he came, we were all together,” Uzoho told the Super Eagles media.

“We helped each other. I helped him. He helped me. So Stanley is a good guy, which I have a very close relationship with him.

“Maybe the people outside there don’t see it, but personally with him, I’m good with him. And also with Amas [Obasogie].”
