Located in Owerri, Imo State, the Papilo Academy has been a hub of excellence since its establishment in 2000.
The academy’s alumni include several notable players who have gone on to make a mark in the football world.
Chidiebere Nwakali, Joel Obi, and Stanley Okoro are just a few of the talented individuals who have successfully graduated from the Papilo Academy in recent years.
But back to the hilarious spectacle that unfolded on the streets of Owerri.
Kanu, with his infectious smile and trademark charm, took charge of the bus like a seasoned conductor.
Playfully, he demanded a fare of 100 Naira from his players before allowing them to board.
The scene was not only uproariously funny but also showcased Kanu’s down-to-earth nature and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
