Former Super Eagles midfielder, Garba Lawal said Nigerian football fans shouldn’t bother much about Victor Moses’ decision to quit the national team.

Moses, shocked his numerous fans and fellow teammates when he annouced his decision to walk away from the Nigeria set up.

“It’s not a big deal!  that is his choice – he chose to play for Nigeria and now he has decided not to play,” Lawal told Goal.
