"That's how we treat our people. Did he deserve to be sacked, yes, was he disrespected, yes, will Nigerians treat a foreign based coach in such way, No. We need to do better."
Royalties allegedly stir issues between PSquare
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the Psquare brothers' problems started after Peter approached his twin Paul and their elder brother Jude Okoye with a business proposal.
The report stated that a company approached Peter to acquire the group's music catalogue but on one condition.
When the company demanded back-end access to the group's royalties from 2007, Jude Okoye was found to have embezzled the duo's money through a shell company.
