Yakubu Now Eagles' Captain

At last the 'Big Yak' and Coach Amodu will have a chance to bury the hatchet as Shuaibu Amodu picks him to Captain the Super Eagles. Though the duo have claim all is well between them but rumours have it that they have not really made up since the home sending brouhaha of the player in Mali on grounds of indiscipline.

In the absence of Kanu and Yobo, Yak is set to captain the team to face the Bafana Bafana at home who have been threatening fire and brimstone.

I personally don't like Yak's style, but you can't argue with the form of a player that keeps scoring in the range of 20 goals every season. This may even be his opportunity to win over fans like me who don't fancy him (I know we are in the range of millions) as his attitude and dedication to the team may change drastically following the new responsibility.

That leadership band sure knows how to change a player. This is now time for him to lead by example.
