Why Nigerian Footballers Falsify Their Ages by teemanbastos(m): 7:03am On Nov 28, 2017
Why do Nigerian Footballers falsify their Ages?
In Nigeria, we know how the situation is,
for a Footballer who is talented, he has to cross the parental hurdle, his parents have to endorse his talent, you know how Nigerian parents behave, they either tell you to face your studies or to focus on business etc
After your parents or guardians endorse this decision, then you have to pray you see an Academy to train in until God picks your call and you get snapped up by a top team.
Before God picks your call, the age is telling maybe you are already in your mid 20s..
And we know that Football activities is meant for the young guys in Europe so our African brethren are left with no other choices than to falsify their Ages to meet up with the European standard.

We can't always blame our African Footballers, it's the system that we have to blame.

God bless our Footballers repping us well Abroad.
Then we should hope that our Local Leagues are invested in too.

Nairalanders, what else do you think cause age falsification?
