josh4ever:

You forgot "wonder boy" Bartholomew Ogbeche, who claimed he was 18years in 2002, while he was much older. He graduated from FGC OKIGWE in 95 and would have been at worst 16years. With his age falsification, it meant he graduated at 10! Trust me, I was 11 in 95 wink
Trust you? I jump and pass.

payless: Michael Essien enstranged father also claimed Essien is 37 years old. Imagine Samuel Eto claiming to be 30 wheareas he played at USA '94 at the age of 17. Kanu Nwakwo graduated from secondary school in Owerri in 1989 but he claimed he was 16 during Under 17 World Cup in Japan 1993. All these Nigerians and African players need to stop cheating.
take etoo out of that,i know him from cameroon to madrid, child hood story.

The youngest Cameroonian at the France '98 world cup was Desire Job. He and Michael Owen where the youngest.

I doubt that Eto'o played at France '98. He played at Ghana/Nigeria 2000 at age 19.
Michael Owen was the youngest scorer france '98

wikipaedia: Joseph-Désiré Job (born
1 December 1977 in
Vénissieux, Rhône) is a
former French-born
Cameroonian football
striker . He also plays for

Well, keep jumping and you will end up like a cricket. I was 11 at that time and I have LOADS of live witnesses who can testify, including my birth certificate (not affidavit).

I can also get 10 credible classmates of Ogbeche to testify that the dude was n their class as well as get the records from FGC OKIGWE. So my good friend, keep jumping and u may end up playing basketball for Naija

musiwa20: if you notice alot of nigeria men develop muscle like weightlighter even while they dont go for body training.. it is the work of eba..

the nigeria national team eat it alot.. they dont eat foreign food. because they make them weak.. but eba makes people very very very strong.
The Nigerian National teams also die well before their time, check Segun Odegbami's set who have lost 6 players ! seriously though a diet based on high level of carbohydrates is bad for you. Its not a coincidence that the Japanese and Chinese who live the longest stay away from high carbs, preferring vegetables, protein, wheat and fruit based diets.

Stay away from high carbs !

One of the causes of age cheating is the age grade competition.

Daniel Amokachi used his real age to play cos he never played in the age grade competitions..

Amochachi graduated from government college kaduna in 1989 .

Stop talking bullshit.
Raheem Sterling still lives with his Mum in London.
That was their home when he was playing for QPR youth team.
Liverpool are still trying to get him a permanent house near Merseyside.
They should have done that earlier, but they were waiting to see if he will sign a new contract - which he has done.

Lampard is 34.
If u were educated enough, or have travelled to England, u would know that anyone born in a British hospital must have his birth date recorded and forwarded to the National data system - so, u cannot forge.
Likewise, every other DEVELOPED country.But am sure of England.

who is they?
they who?
you have to be specific here !

there you go with the classic unthinking African mentality (as opposed to the thinking African mentality)

Just because we do it , you automatically assume everyone does.

Here's a question for you to muse over

FIFA World Youth Championship took place in Nigeria in 1999. Amongst others the following players were at that tournament

1. Seydou Keita (still plays)
2. edu (still plays)
3. Xavi (still plays)
4. Cambiasso (still plays)
5. Mahamadou Diarra (still plays)
6. Ronaldinho (still plays
7. santa cruz (still plays)

Where is our young friend Julius Aghahowa?

Allow these guys be.It is rather good for them to have used their talent to feed themselves and family , than to have turned to become armed robbers with the strength they invested on their God gifted talents. If they like, let them be 100 yrs old and still playing. 90 % of government workers in Federal and states civil service, all falsified their ages to still be working in their respective offices. Most of them retire from civil service after 70 yrs, still claiming 50. What of OBJ and their likes? Who among us here that have not lied in his or her life time? Sin is sin no matter how small. Allow Taribo be. This is someone that came out of abject poverty, took crime and God saved him through football. Keshi and their likes also lied of their ages. All of them. Nobody is clean as far as age football issue are concerned.

u should stop saying tins you dont know, you travelling to england does not make u d most inteligent person on dis forum. By the way who is asking u if sterling is living with his parents or not, but d tin i want u to understand is dat sterling is married and he is with three kids. Pls make google ur friend and for ur information, staying with ur parents doesn't make u a young boy. Lampard is older than 34 years and u knw dat right inside u but u dont want to say d truth.
Re: Taribo Was 40 While Claiming 28 – Former Partizan President by badesco(m): 1:36pm On Apr 04, 2013
This does not only apply to Taribo West alone but to so many of them like. J.J.Okocha, Nwakwo Kanu etc. Since Taribo is now a pastor, i think he should now be bold enough to either deny or otherwise.

musiwa20: taribo did not lie.. that is taribo correct age.. take my word for it..
why would taribo lie over his age..

he is telling you his true age..


they were not telling lies.

this is why they perform well, it is call eba, it has high rate of Carbohydrate , so it makes them strong and play longer on the field of play..
food in north america make people weaker .. compare to eba.. it make people feel strong..


I became weaker when i stop eating eba.. even when i eat, i know it in my body..

Keep calculating his age while he is creaming out on bucks. It is this same attitude of 'killing our own' that has kept us where we are till date.

Oyinbo no dey cheat for age but them use all manner of medical support but no one is gonna talk about those because being oyinbos they are supreme. Awon mumu oshi

You are very stu.pid. Why must one lie when it comes to declaring their age? Have you read how John Obi Mikel was ridiculed last year at Chelsea training base on his birthday. After he was presented a cake, it was John Terry who asked him if he was truely 24 or just his footbal age. It seems you must have been lieing your way too. When Nigerian get caught lieing in western countries, it affects every other Nigerian abroad. So many Nigerians giving us bad names. Enough!

If it is okay to lie about your age, then it is okay to lie about education qualification.
