Leicester City ace Wilfred Ndidi has long been accused of snubbing the Nigerian media but always willing to speak to the foreign press even when he is on international duty with the senior national team of Nigeria.
Aside captain of the team Ahmed Musa who is difficult to approach for an interview, Ndidi is widely seen by most Nigerian journalist as another who only speaks with foreign media outlets even when in Nigeria.
Since becoming a mainstay of the team in 2017, Ndidi is one player that many Nigerian journalist have struggled to access as he is hardly opened to the idea of granting interviews most times even when the players are observing the general interactions with the press.
He is most times absent without any tangible excuse and that explains why he hasn’t been interviewed by any Nigerian media organization since 2018. However he is always available for the foreign media.
Only recently he sat down for a lengthy podcast discussion with Out Of Home crew. Something that once again highlighted his lack of respect for the Nigerian media as he has hardly grant them even a five minute interview.
