Idah Cautions Okonkwo: Club Success Won’t Guarantee Super Eagles Spot
Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Peterside Idah says Arthur Okonkwo must prove himself at the international level despite his recent clearance by FIFA. Okonkwo, who switched allegiance from England, is now eligible to represent Nigeria in upcoming matches. Idah warns that success in Europe does not always translate to Africa. He highlights differences in conditions and stresses that strong club form alone won’t secure a starting role for the national team. Nigeria already has reliable options between the posts in Stanley Nwabali, Maduka Okoye and Francis Uzoho. Idah urges Okonkwo to stay focused, work hard and earn his place if he wants to challenge for the number one jersey.
