Kanu, the captain of Nigeria's Super Eagles, the most decorated Nigerian player, the only player who went through the FIFA ranks, a great football ambassador.
I just wish those running football in Nigeria would be half as patriotic as Kanu and other well meaning Nigerians who would use any opportunity to put Nigeria on the world map. This singular act is greater than the millions of dollars spent by government on image laundering.
Kanu, thank you for being a worthy Nigerian ambassador, I hope our brothers and sisters the world over, dragging the name of our country to the mud are watching and taking a cue from you!
IN ALMOST ONE-YEAR OF UMYA REIGN IN ASO VILLA, NIGERIANS NAY OUR YOUTHS HAVE WITNESSED ONLY ONE INSPIRING MOMENT - THAT IS KING KANU'S DISPLAY IN NVS Pix of the day. I DARESAY, THAT IS THE ONLY THING WORTH CELEBRATING ON MAY 29, 2008
Honestly, I thought this guy was dead and buried before moving to Portsmouth! Harry brought him back from the dead! Now he is back at his best again! WELL DONE KANU!!

Kanu made me proud to be a Nigerian and my respect for him has just mutiplied a million fold by this singular gesture. While the government is spending (read this to mean 'wasting') millions of dollars as you rightly noted on "Heart of Africa" and other bogus image laundering projects, the true Ambassadors who could really do what a thousand "heart or big bellies of Africa" PR efforts can never achieve are ignored. I wonder when UMYA will be smart enough to strip those thieves of the national honours they have and bestow it on the real patriots.
