Throwback: Omoyele, An Indispensable Bunky- Ex Teammate

 

Throwback: Omoyele, An Indispensable Bunky- Ex Teammate 

The journey is never ending, there's always going to be growth, adversities, highs, lows, helpers and detractors, even some beautiful paths can't be discovered without moving with destined companions.

As rightly narrated by Victor Okeji, one time team mate of Tosin Omoyele in two different clubs, the path of life is meant to be a journey, not a destination. 

The Sweden based footballer believes his coming across Omoyele isn't anyone's making but destiny. According to the lanky winger, who describes his longtime friend 

'as nice as ninepence'.

Omoyele had since starred for the National Team, he has also played for several clubs such as, Plateau United, Norgom FC (Egypt), Enyimba FC, Katsina Utd., he is currently on the payroll of USM Khenchela in Algeria. 

"The journey started way back in 2015/2016 in COD, Lagos. I was staying with him and Stephen Anyanwu in the hotel. Coach Festus Allen prefers Tosin to grow through the rank because he prefers experienced strikers ahead of him.

" I remember vividly how I used to excuse myself from the bed for Tosin and Stephen to feel comfortable while I sleep on the floor. I didn't know we will still meet at Osun Utd.

" Under the tutelage of Okey Emordi, when COD played Prime FC in Osogbo, he wasn't part of the squad but was around to see the game. He would later proved to be a weapon of mass destruction for Omoluabi Giants under coach Duke Udi.

"Tosin is a nice guy who's always ready to single handedly lift the team. He's focused and fun to be with." The Linkoping FC forward submitted.
