You're a disgrace to your generation - Pastor blasts Okocha

Popular Nigerian clergyman Rev. Patrick-Grace Henry of the Grace Family Outreach has slammed football legend Jay Jay Okocha for his decision to be using his image to promote betting company.

While ministering to his congregation, Pastor Henry testified to the fact that Okocha used to bring joy to the hearts of many people on the pitch with his styles of play.

He added that Okocha was one of the best players in the world that all Nigerians would love to watch live or on the television.

However, he frowned at the 47-year-old Super Eagles legend being the face of a betting company claiming that Okocha is a disgrace to the his generation. According to the video shared by Planet FM Uyo, Pastor Henry was seen expressing his anger towards the Super Eagles legend.

''Any day I see Okocha, I will tell him that he is a disgrace to this generation because he was the first footballer who played soccer for people to enjoy.

''Okocha never bet his way to football, but shame onto him for becoming the face of a betting company despite how he made his name.

''How can someone like Okocha be promoting betting with his image? it is a shame and I want him to know that he is a disgrace.''

During his time in the Super Eagles, Okocha played 73 games for Nigeria and he scored 14 goals before he retired from international football.
