It was all joy and laughter as former Super Eagles legends, Kanu Nwankwo, Daniel Amokachi, Emmanuel Emenike, and Jay Jay Okocha were spotted together in a trendy video sharing amazing moments on the bus.

Legit.ng said the legends were heading for the second edition of the African Children Talent Discovery Foundation’s (ACTDF) talent hunt and mentoring program billed for Bauchi.

Nigerian outlet Thisday is reporting that the project coordinator Emmanuel Babayaro stated the aspiring footballers who are selected would be camped.

He disclosed that the players would be mentored by the likes of Daniel Amokachi, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Austin Eguavoen, and others including El Hadji Diouf of Senegal and Stephen Appiah of Ghana, Legit.ng reports.

According to Babayaro, the exercise will be a combination of classroom learning and playing side-by-side with the legends.

Babayaro said: “Then those who are finally selected will play on the pitch where their mentors will also serve as their coaches before a novelty match between the Friends of Dallaji and Bauchi All Stars.”

And heading to the venue in a bus, it was all smiles as Jay-Jay Okocha cracked his former teammates up. In the clip shared by Daniel Amokachi, the ‘Bull’ wrote on Instagram:

“Whenever we together it’s always a blast… the Joker of the Posse Jay Jay Okocha keeping us cracking. Bauchi ACTDF Novelty Football Match - Kanu Nwankwo, Emmanuel Emenike.”

Emmanuel Emenike on his path is also an AFCON winner having inspired the Super Eagles to glory at the 2013 AFCON. He finished the tournament’s joint highest goal scorer with four goals alongside Mubarak Wakaso.
