In a Facebook post that was immediately deleted, Uzoho wished his son a happy birthday, showering him with praises.

“Wow, my second son Michael is 17 today. I seek for God’s blessings for him. Daddy loves you boy,” he posted.

Social Media users are still pouring in their birthday wishes and wishing Michael that his age doesn’t become static at 19 but grows beyond.

The goalkeeper caused a stir on social media after he said he was 19, with many social media users accusing him of faking his age.
