Osaze, it would be recalled has been notorious of late for his
controversialTwitter rants which have pitted him against football
administrators in Nigeria and in his club.
Osaze recently slammed football administrators in the country for
failing to "treat former internationalsright" and cited late striker
Rashidi Yekini, Femi Opabunmi and Taribo West as examples.
"Yekini, (may his soul RIP) our legend died in poverty…Femi Opabunmi
lost his sight and struggling to feed now…T. West I heard not so
comfortable and few others," Osaze twitted.
The dread-locks wearing footballer turned pastor, replied the
England-based player on Thursday saying, "It is embarrassing to read
such comments about me in the newspapers. The last time he probably
saw me was in 2008, so what does he know about me?
"Have I asked him for money before? God has been kind to me and my
ministry and I have not begged anybody for money. I am doing well; I
am not broke and never will be till Christ comes. In Christ, I have
everything, so I am not lacking. I think he has lost track and needs
to get himself together.
"He should shut up and focus on his career instead of insulting his
seniors all the time. He needs to respect his elders. His utterances
smacks of indiscipline and unprofessionalism. He should apologise to
everyone he's been abusing on Twitter because if he continues like
this, he will not go far."
Taribo, who had an illustrious career playing for Italian giants AC
Milan andInter Milan, advised Osaze to "come home and fight those who
are not helping the footballers" instead of staying on Twitter from
his base in England and claiming to be "fighting for ex-players."
"How many ex-footballers has he helped? How can he stay in England and
fight for a cause in Nigeria? He should join his seniors and fight for
their cause because his approach has no foundation," Taribo added.
