For now he is in Brazil solely as a supporter to roar on big brother Shola and was an interested spectator along with the Ameobi family in Porto Alegre during Nigeria’s 3-2 loss to Argentina.
Ameobi donned a Nigeria shirt in support of his brother but could be wearing one for real if he decides to go with the Super Eagles next term. After the game which Shola played no part in the Ameobis met Keshi but the mood was very much celebratory as Nigeria prepare to face France.
That will set up a reunion between Shola Ameobi and his former club-mates Mathieu Debuchy and Moussa Sissoko as well as ex-Toon star Yohan Cabaye. French boss Didier Deschamps has admitted the second round clash will be far from easy.
He said: “It will be a tough game. I watched the first period against Argentina.
“This team (Nigeria) is solid and have the ability to defend well. They have a very good goalkeeper, they are quality up front with speed.
