Obodo is regarded by many as one of the most skilful and talented midfielders to play for the Super Eagles since the 1994 era. Little wonder, a sports radio personality and media mogul – noted for nicknaming Nigerian footballers – describes him as bundle of skills, a phrase which later stuck and is now synonymous with Obodo's skilfulness.

He then performed a celebratory belly-slide by the corner flag, as Ahmed Elmohamady mimed playing a musical instrument while sitting astride him, before a team pile-up ensued.[14]

The duo went on to form a central midfield partnership which was one of the best in English club football. Their pairing helped yield several major trophies in the most successful era in Leeds' history. By strange coincidence, Giles and Bremner would both score exactly 115 goals for the club, casting doubt on the modern penchant for "holding" midfield players.

Notable sportspersons who claim to have been healed of sporting injuries at the SCOAN include South African rugby players Jaco van der Westhuizen[21] and Jaco du Preeze, and Nigerian footballer Joseph Yobo.[22]
Spiritual healing at The SCOAN has been mentioned by Time magazine.[23] Since June 2010, five "Wise Men" have joined in ministering to people at The SCOAN, purportedly able to prophesy, heal and deliver in the same vein as T. B. Joshua.[24] The church has branches in Ghana,[25][26][27] the United Kingdom,[28] South Africa,[29][self-published source] and Greece.[30]
Many have also claimed to be healed through ‘Anointing Water’ that has been prayed over by Joshua and given to those who are unable to physically attend his church in Lagos.[31][32][33]

def has the look of bantz abt it
he certainly qualifies under the original terms of this thread
Ali Adnan Kadhim regards his father as his idol and teacher in both life and sport, always emphasizing the importance of committing to training and respecting others, believing that football gives to those who give all. Throughout his career, his father has been by his side and is often seen at the Baghdad FC stadium watching his son from the sidelines. From a very young age, his father had drilled into his son, the need to strike the ball the hardest possible and attempt shots from outside the penalty, an attribute that his father and his uncle had been known for in their playing careers, and now a trait and legacy that Ali has continued.[2]
