The 23-year-old is flourishing in the English top-flight and has explained how frank opinions from close associates have kept him going


Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has attributed his progress to his ability to listen to criticism from his coaches, friends and wife.
The Nigeria international has been in top form since teaming up with the King Power Stadium outfit in 2017 from Belgian side Genk.
Ndidi’s stock has risen very high in the Premier League and he is currently regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the English top-flight.

Reflecting on his success, the Super Eagle praised the people who surround him for their sincere criticism which has helped him to improve on his performances.
“My circle of friends is very small, and they are people who are straight in their assertions. Even at Leicester City, the players, the coaches, and the staff are straight with me,” Ndidi told the Super Eagles media team.
“That alone is like an encouragement to me; they make me understand life in general and how I am performing.
“Kudos also must go to my wife; she is always honest with me as it concerns my game, telling me the right things and I don’t joke with her criticisms because I know she wants me to be a better player and my boss at Leicester too.”
Ndidi has made 111 Premier League appearances since his arrival at King Power Stadium and this season he has played 29 times for the Foxes across all competitions.
The midfielder has consistently ranked among the top three best tacklers in the Premier League and currently ranks third on the list, behind his teammate Ricardo Pereira and Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
His solid performances ensured Leicester’s current third position on the league table, behind leaders Liverpool and Manchester City.
Ndidi has also been in excellent form for the Super Eagles and in 2019, he played a key role as Nigeria clinched their eighth bronze medal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The 23-year-old was also one of the standout players as Nigeria defeated the Republic of Benin and Lesotho in their 2021 Afcon qualifying games, which saw them sit atop Group L with six points.
He was part of Gernot Rohr’s team scheduled to face Sierra Leone in their third qualifying game before the match was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Nigeria is not Obasanjo, Buhari’s horse – Latest news Nigeria Abimbola Adelakun A year and some weeks short of the 2019 presidential election, President Muhammadu Buhari experienced the infamous black arts of sanctimony from ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo. On one or two occasions, I had joked that Obasanjo would send Buhari “the letter” as he did with his predecessor. I was therefore not surprised when he eventually fired a missive from his lofty throne as the self-appointed custodian of Nigerian virtue on Tuesday. Obasanjo, in and out of government, has built a reputation for playing the venerable role of the country’s “big daddy” and writing righteous letters is one of the few responsibilities he bestowed on himself. In January 2016, he accused members of the National Assembly of corruption and greed in one of his infamous letters, excoriating the legislative branch over their unbridled greed. Previously, in December 2013, Obasanjo fused a chain reaction against the Presi...

What is wrong with being black? By Matthew Ashimolowo Celebrating our Heritage, Confronting our Challenges Overview When you look  around  you, you could only wonder, “Has it come to this?” Should we begin to think that black people have a peculiarity with problems?

Matthew Ashimolowo tagged the second part “Conformations and Pathologies”. It is a shame that the glorious past of the black man is not often told of. Matthew Ashimolowo has done an ex...
