Super Eagles legend, Nwankwo Kanu, transformed himself into a bus conductor while conveying players of his football academy to their training ground.

The video has since gone viral on social media, with fans all having their say.

Kanu, a former Arsenal striker, is among the biggest players from the African continent considering the Gunners won the Premier League title with him on the team.

Since the former Inter Milan star retired from football, he has been involved in the full running of his charity organisation and he is also into football administration.

In the video, which the 46-year-old shared on his TikTok page, the Super Eagles legend can be seen in a joyous mood while conducting his players on the bus trip.

The former Ajax Amsterdam player was also spotted hilariously telling his players to pay 100 Naira each before boarding the bus.

Where is Nwankwo Kanu's academy?

The Papilo Academy was founded in Owerri, the Imo State, in 2000 with a primary goal of discovering and developing young players and helping them hone their football skills to become professional footballers.

Chidiebere Nwakali, Joel Obi, and Stanley Okoro are some of the notable players who have graduated from the academy in recent years.
