The NFF has recently approached talents such as Michael Kayode, Tosin Adarabioyo, Caleb Okoli and Kingsley Ehizibue.
Speaking to Brila FM, the former Stoke City player insisted the Super Eagles’ stature should naturally attract top-quality players without the need for persuasion or repeated efforts to secure their commitment.
“These days, it’s like they want the pampering. Me as you know, I don’t need no pampering. If Naija pampers me, it’s more than enough for me,” Osaze said.
“We love everyone and there are some cases where the love wasn’t based on the decision for the love of a European country, unless maybe you have a mixed heritage.
“Like me, growing up, there was a rule that once you wear the shirt of a national team you can’t wear another team’s shirt. I love Russia, but my connection is with Nigeria when it comes to football and sport.
“I won’t judge anybody. Imagine one day the whole football squad of England will be Nigerians. It’s Nigerian genes that are showing themselves how Nigeria go win World Cup when our talents go out to serve other people.”
