He's good but he plays in a farmer's league. Plus, the clip shows a dummy opposition; like one sent out to make him look good.

I am ALWAYS skeptical when Nigerian soccer players are hyped, regardless of where they are grown. It tends to fade pretty fast as they most likely cave in in the face of pressure.

1. Where is 'little Messi' Okoro today?
2. Nigerians ranted when Messi was awarded ahead of Mikel in the u20 world cup. Today, the results are there for all to see.
3. Where's Iheanacho today despite all the hype?

To be candid, I stopped being freak about Nigerian talents a long time ago. It is true they always come out brilliant but give them 7 years tops, and you'd see a different player, far from the previous.

Till tomorrow, the only Nigerian players I regard are Osaze Odemwingie, Obafemi Martins, a bit of Taye Taiwo, and Ahmed Musa. If you are not consistent and play at a certain level for a longer period, you are as good as being forgotten.

The world today does not remember Luiz Adriano despite his incredible power and talent.

Hmm, I really do understand your view and it's the sacred fact, lots of Nigerian talents have fade away like tears in the rain..

You see youth football in Nigeria has produced a conveyance belt of talents that helped the country reach dizzying heights

From winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup a record five times to winning the gold at the 1996 Olympics and the Africa Cup of Nations on three occasions, Nigeria have always been the envy of many African nations and beyond when it comes to talent..

And you know the reason why ? The crazy zeal, and hunger-driven passion to make it to Europe to seal a lucrative deal and secure their future.

Just as they shone through the bright shiny lights of paparazzi same as they dim off like slowly and forgotten. This comes with a lots of factors AGE FALSIFICATION, INDISCIPLINE, GREED, and other factors worth mentioning..

But reverse is the case when you have players who are born in Europe and grows through academy ranks. OSAZE is a good example, he played and bowed out at the right time..

Iwobi is following same steps, same as NDIDI who is stepping up his game week in week out.

We have raw talents who can makes MESSI and Ronaldo go jealous but the a 35-year old man who has bore 3 kids will still participate in U17 World Cup and he will use his strength + HUNGERIZED -ZEAL to bully the innocent kids and rise up as a rising Star and we start the hypocritical hyping and alas he will fade off in 3 years when his bone are calling shots for retirement..

Plus, it doesn't just applies to Nigeria alone, where are the likes of Freddy Adu, Pato, Owusu Abieye, Giovanni dos Santos, Adam Johnson, et all.


Like Pele once said : Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

BTW, where's LALASTICLALA when you need him

Okuda:
naija devil sports analysts wan rope this one again into failure as always. why compare every player who must be that position JJ played with JJ himself. abi una never get over him retirement after over 15yrs plus?

Time will tell.

They make some much fuss too on Mikel then in 2005 before Chelsea and Manchester United fought over him.

Now, all is history.
