My first contribution to this thread would be a proposal for the Nff to establish atleast 3 - 4 world class academies modelled after the French Clairefontain academy spread out strategically through various zones in the country. These academies should be furnished with world class training facilities like high performance gyms,training pitches, grass and astrotoph, medical facilities etc The recruitment requirement to the academy should for junior school s leavers between the ages of 12_14 yrs of age. These players would be trained over a period 3yrs, from Monday to Friday. They will equally get educated in the classroom by competent teachers. On graduation, these players will graduate to the U17 - U19 national teams, augmented by players from various academies spread out across the nation. Also, the NPFL should make it mandatory for clubs to have feeder teams or academies before registration. A league should be setup for these academies and feeder teams. This arrangement/setup will go a long way to ensure steady stream of talented players with proper education to be absorbed by the various national teams and also furnish the Nigerian league with well trained players. The exceptional players among these players obviously will obviously get a chance to crack it with good clubs in central Europe. It's time the Nff wake up to its responsibilities of developing football in the country and not papering over the cracks like we are doing,without any form of framework in place. Funding of projects like this will be very expensive but achievable. All it requires is for a smart approach and a little bit of creativity. I will explain further in my next post. 4 Likes |

Loolll... You mean "Godswill Elohor Ekpolo"  Well, last I heard, he was released or so by Barcelona B and is currently "unattached". Hope to dig up something on him soon.  To your Question: Well, the focus of this thread is on Players/talents within the age range of U-17/U-18 to U-21/U-23..... Hence the names "cadet" and "Youth". Mickael2: 1 Like |

“NIGERIAN KANTE” AWUA GETS HIGH RATINGS IN FIRST GAME FOR INTER-MILAN  Highly rated Nigerian teen midfielder, Theophilus Awua was among the top performers for Inter-Milan Primavera in their narrow win over Palermo, in their opening game. The Football Academy Abuja (FAA) graduate got a high rating of 7 over 10. Only Pinamonti who scored the goal got a higher rating than the hardworking teen. Mondo Primavera, the site that did the ratings went further to suggest that he has all of the characteristics to be a top player in the future based on his performance. On loan from Serie B side Spezia, with Inter-Milan having the option of making the deal permanent in the summer, his fine start to life at the club will no doubt enhance his prospect of earning a permanent deal. Rated by ex England international John Fashanu as one of the best teen midfielders in Nigeria. He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Nigerians who have played for the Serie A side. Awua will in the coming season try to walk the path of Kanu Nwankwo, Taribo West, Obafemi Martins, Joel Obi and Obiora Nwankwo who have all played for the San Siro oufit.

It just unfortunate none of our youth teams will be on parade 4 at least one and half year,and we can't cap him with SE.

Lokosa spotted by Israeli scout David Ouziel who has been very active and effective in transferring Nigerian teens abroad is also one of the top peformers for his team this season, a season after playing in the youth league.

Adarabioyo Allowed To Shine As Man City Thrash Borussia Monchengladbach In UYL  Tosin Adarabioyo put up an impressive performance as Manchester City began their campaign in the UEFA Youth League with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at the Academy Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. The central defender had not started a competitive fixture at any level since the start of this season before making City’s starting XI to face the German opponents. And the Nigerian teenager didn’t disappoint, earning himself a lot of kudos for making Borussia Monchengladbach striker Alperen Sahin look ordinary, and was officially named Man of the Match for his efforts. Goals from Lukas Nmecha (2), Jadon Sancho and Hanraths (OG) secured the win for the Citizens while Yosef Milo pulled a goal back for the visitors. England U18 international Ashinme Kigbu (Another Nigerian-born) is eligible to feature in the UEFA Youth League for City but was not named in the squad by coach Simon Davies.

I dont understand the fixtures of European youth leagues. Later week when the first team of Manchester united played city, their respective youth teams played against themselves. Same situation when the first teams of Liverpool played Leicester, the youth teams also battled it out. Now today in the Champions League ManCity first team was supposed to play mochengladbach barring the match being postponed and their respective youth teams still clashed. Is it that fixtures are fixed that way to reduce the expenses of clubs all this are all coincidence. Someone please educate me |

Justiceotuya: I think the early stages of the UEFA Youth League is grouped similarly with the UEFA Champions League. Hence you get similar youth fixtures to the Champions League. So those are planned ad not coincidences. The game between Manchester City U23 and Manchester United U23, was a league game and it seems there are also similar fixtures with those of the English Premier League. |

FLASHBACK : Liverpool Midfielder Ejaria Explains Why He Left Nigeria Camp In 2013  Liverpool wonderkid Ovie Ejaria has explained why he failed to make the Golden Eaglets squad ahead of the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. The Londoner has fond memories of training with the Nigeria U17s three years ago and enjoyed spending time with Kelechi Iheanacho (Manchester City) and Isaac Success (Watford). “I could not continue training with the squad because I had to return to England for school and the start of pre - season, ” Ovie Ejaria told allnigeriasoccer.com. Ejaria had wanted to train with the Flying Eagles the following year but later jettisoned the idea because of the physical demands of playing with boys stronger and bigger than him. The central midfielder thought about returning to the Golden Eaglets class of 2015, then abandoned the plan as he would have been above the age limit during the competition in Chile. He was on the books of Arsenal for seven years and had attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United before he was snapped up by Liverpool in 2014 following a successful trial.

Though I didn't and couldn't watch the game, but Ovie Ejaria was named in Liverpool's 18-man match day squad for their 2-1 away win at stamford bridge yesterday vs. Chelsea. This is kinda a good sign.... Coz soon I expect Ejaria to make his EPL or FA Cup or League cup debuts (a competitive debut) for the Red merseysiders. Ovie is a super midfield talent on the rise and alongside Kelechi Nwakali, Wilfred Ndidi, Chidiebere Nwakali, Azubuike Okechukwu, Alex Iwobi (can also play the 10 role magnificently) and others in the long run, I am certain The likes of Nacho and co up top won't have a problem of fantastic and constant free flowing ball supply from midfield. Nigeria has a generation of star players for now and for the next era sef.... With an average Super Eagles squad of Age 23, The future is super long and super bright. Watch out for the emergence of more of our top youngsters. 2 Likes |

LIVERPOOL MANAGER PRAISE NIGERIAN TEEN SENSATION EJARIA  Ovie Ejaria sat on the bench for Liverpool in their 2-1 win over Chelsea in the English Premeir League. We bring to you a story we did on the rising teen sensation Ovie Ejaria on the 9th of July 2016 after a pre season game against Tranmere Rovers…Read.... Nigeria U-17 trainee Ovie Ejiara has earned the praise of Liverpool U-21s boss Michael Beale who says he is not surprised by the teenager’s rapid rise. Ejiara made his first team bow for Liverpool yesterday in a 1-0 pre season win over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park and Manager Beale told Skysports he is not surprised manager Jurgen Kloop gave the 18 year old his debut. “I’m very excited about Ovie Ejaria,” Liverpool U21s boss Beale told Sky Sports. “I knew him from my time in London. He went to West Ham and ended up at Arsenal [where he was offered a scholarship to stay before joining us in 2014]. “He’s done very well with us and has trained in and around the first team, but he’s managed to settle well here in the North. He’s a little tall and gangly and we’re still waiting for him to develop more physically, but he is a lovely player and has fantastic technical ability. “Nights like Tranmere and playing in front of a local crowd alongside first-team players are great experiences for the young players to show that they’re progressing, but at the same time it’s also important they keep their feet on the floor.” Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/09/16/liverpool-manager-praise-nigerian-teen-sensation-ejaria/ 2 Likes |

ARSENAL STOPPED LIVERPOOL EJARIA FROM WINNING U-17 WYC WITH IHEANACHO IN 2013 Head coach of the Nigeria U-17 team Manu Garba says Liverpool teen sensation Ovie Ejiara could have been a part of his title winning U-17 team of 2013 were it not for Arsenal who stopped the teen. Ejiara had taken Liverpool pre season games by storm earning praises from those who have watched him play and according to Manu Garba he could easily have won the U-17 World Cup with Nigeria in 2013 alongside the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho,Isaac Success and Taiwo Awoniyi were it not for his move from West Ham to Arsenal back then. The 18 year old was also on the shortlist of players the coach was willing to call up for the U-20 World cup but yet again his move from Arsenal to Liverpool cost him a call up to the team. “He came to our camp back in 2013, He showed flashes and we were impressed by what we saw in him but he left the camp before the team took shape to complete his move to Arsenal and we moved on” Manu Garba told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” I would have called him up for the U-20s but still again he just joined Liverpool and needed to settle down but his quality and career rise has never been in doubt”.

USA-Born Superkid Omidiji To Reconsider International Future Over Racist Treatment Of White Sister By Nigeria Coach  FC Dordrecht superkid Lateef Omidiji Jr is crushed and devastated, and will reconsider his decision to pledge his international future to Nigeria ahead of Netherlands and United States after his white sister, Sophia, was unceremoniously dropped by Nigeria U20 coach Peter Dedevbo ahead of the World Cup. In truth, Dedevbo informed Sophia Omidiji before announcing his provisional roster that he is not planning to take her to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea, citing that she is not as big and strong as the black girls in the team. But Sophia’s minders argued that she has more technique and tactical awareness than the domestic-based players, has a proven track record of scoring goals, creating assists and working hard on the pitch for the team. Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Lateef Omidiji Jr is disgusted that his elder sister came to Nigeria for four months amidst fear of Boko Haram (there were two explosions) 30 minutes from her when she was in camp against advice from everyone, and lost her place with the United States youth team because she declared loyalty to her fatherland. Omidiji Jr is scared that he might be humiliated by the Nigerian coaches if he continues flirting with the Nigeria setup . To cut a long story short, Sophia has concluded that she would have gotten better treatment from Peter Dedevbo if she was dark skinned, big, Ibo and a Christian, but she is white, Yoruba and a proud Muslim.
