Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Eddy Onazi today cheered national teammate Osaze Odemwingie on his 33rd birthday on Tuesday.

The SS Lazio player, who is still recuperating from the ankle injury he received in Nigeria’s second round loss to France in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, made the announcement via his official Twitter handle @OnaziOgenyi

“My guy Osaze is plus one today, happy birthday brother from another mother have fun,” the tweet said alongside a picture of the two players sitting side by side on a bus in Brazil.

After an impressive performance at the football extravaganza on the South American continent, Onazi’s stock seem to have risen in the transfer market, with many premiership clubs reported to be interested in the former El Kanemi Warriors player.

Odemwingie almost missed out on making the final cut to the World Cup before settling his two-year rift with Coach Stephen Keshi.  He was then invited to join the team to Brazil, where his solitary group stage goal against Bosnia qualified Nigeria for her first World Cup knockout stage in 16 years.
