Soccer Stars, Kalu, Ikechukwu Uche Move On

Kalu & IkeCelebrated footballers, Ikechukwu Uche and elder brother, Kalu may have shrugged off the disappointments of their world cup miss even though the Super Eagles did not progress to the quarter finals, after losing world cup hopes to France on Tuesday 30th June, 2014. They were recently spotted partying all night at famed leisure spot, Club Papas.

The duo was dropped from representing the nation at the ongoing highest level of football play by coach, Stephen Keshi on reasons of form and indiscipline. Ikechukwu is listed as not always playing to instructions while Kalu was overlooked based on recent form. Ironically, the two brothers gave Keshi his first win as a national team handler in a 2-0 win over Zambia. Ikechukwu’s exclusion particularly generated a bit of uproar based on his current rating backed with solid statistics at the national level. Keshi had stuck to his gun. The World Cup is on and the brothers bear no sign of disappointment whatsoever, at least judging by the way they carried on at Club Papas on Saturday, June 14, 2014.

According to witnesses, they arrived with a couple of friends before midnight and stayed till very early on Sunday morning. They came across as very much at ease, danced, chatted and generally mingled with fellow celebrities and fans. And they had the company of fellow night crawlers like 2face Idibia and wife, Annie, singer Olamide, MTV MAMA winner – Davido, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Basketmouth, Olisa Adibua, comedian AY among others.
