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.

Samuel Etoo didnt play in US 94

lol na news be this.

I went to Fratton Park to watch a game and the fans were singing

King Kanu Kanu

His older than you and me

His real age is 62

LMAO

HAH: I can remember when one of the golden eagles men that won the 2007 world cup came to check the house given to them by yaradua , he came with wife and two children.

Raheem Sterling the Liverpool youngster is only 17 and has 2 children from 2 different women

Omo, imagine say Grandpa position for defense...

I was meant to say Rigobert Song. He claimed he was 17 at USA '94 World Cup. Look at the picture below if he looks 36 in that picture. He retired last year from football at the age of 36.

^^^Blood of Jesus!

ballabriggs: ^^^Blood of Jesus!

I am 35 and I look 15 years younger than that.

Do you believe the below is a 27yr old player thats that bald?

That article still doesnt mean anything. This is Africa, Some people are agemates with their uncle. Where men give birth till 50-60

E.g Sarah Palins last child and her grandchild are almost the same age.

no oga dayo!
He himself had come out to refute the claim.
[size=16pt]He said he has only a daughter, Melody Rose.[/size]

Arjen Robben is 29. Baldness has nothing to do with age. The point is African players overdo it. Tell me any Nigerian player who still play at high level at the age of 28. A 28 year old Nigerian or African player is actually between 34 and 39 years old. That is the reason their game slow down at the age of "28".

That was Arjen Robbens picture 2 yrs ago and that was Rooneys picture in 2008

We have fewer Nigerians doing it because Naija no too sabi play football like that though most Nigerians would disagree. But thats another topic for another day.

Okocha for example was playing well at 28
Samuel Etoo should be 32 now that means in 2009 when he was still banging at Barcelona he was 28,
Didier Drogba actually signed for Chelsea at 27yrs and he was 32 last season
Yaya Toure would be 30 next month and he is still banging

We also have some European players whose careers were over before 28. Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves, Lars Ricken, Patrick Kluivert, Andy Van der Meyde, Sebastian Deisler, etc

Of all the African player names you listed, Drogba and Yaya Toure have their real age on record. Okocha did not play with his exact age. Samuel Eto is not 32 either.

taribu wests, teeth alone be like 7yrs, his ugly head, 8yrs......tht face ain't no joke neither.....the dude is ugly old.......add all tht to his real age and damn .....we have a grand papa playing football......

But Samuel Etoo is still playing top level football. He still won the Champions league as a key player at age 30 with Inter Milan

Okocha claims 1973 and as at 2003 age 30 he was still balling hard

He won BBC African footballer of the year in 2004 and 2005 that should be when he is 31 and 32. By 32 How many European footballer still win awards

What about Oliseh? Did you know Oliseh was in third year at Lagos State University (LASU) when he proceeded to Belgium on trial? That was in 1990 at the age of 22. But he played under-23 football in 1996 claiming to be 22 years old. The only Nigerian player I trust his age has always been Daniel Amokachie. Others are fraud when it comes to age declaration.

Someone who went to school with Okocha was on this forum today claiming Okocha actually reduced his age by 7 years.

Did you also know Obafemi Martins graduated from secondary school and 1995 but claimed he went to Italy at the age of 14 with football agent in 1998? What about Taiye Taiwo?

I cant argue that people dont change their ages But in Nigeria someone can be in year 3 at age 18. I know a Girl who came for NYSC at age 19.

Amokachie that you said you trust his age retired young too. Someone who doesnt know Amokachi personally can claim it was due to old age that made him retire early

He retired because of bad knee. Doctors advised him to hang up his boot. I used to live in kaduna and Abuja and I know people who went to school with him.

It can be argued that it was due to old age that made his injury not to heal on time

We all know healing slows down with age

I am not doubting Amokachis age because I dont know him but a lot of people use circumsantial evidence to arrive at their conclusion e.g Unhealing injuries, Having a child or "looks old"

Secondary school graduation doesnt mean much in a country like Nigeria, Unlike in US when your age determines your class.

If you tell many of the guys I went to secondary school with my age, they would argue because I was the tallest but I finished SS3 before my 15th birthday

Most of my mates when we finished were 18,19 and above

I never skipped any class. I did Primary 6 and finished SS3

If i did like some people nowadays i.e Jump from primary 4 and skip ss3 I could have finished before 13-14yrs and people would come and argue that I am older

I remember Yakubu Aiyebgeni joined Everton at age 24 , and left to play for Leicester City as a 23 year old

payless:

That means he graduated from secondary school in 1989 at the age of 13. LMAO

It is possible. I graduated secondary school at age 14; my kid sis at 13. So? By appearance, I look almost 10yrs older than my age.

this oyinbo people dey are funny after what time

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.

Did you just call me stvpid? Perhaps you are right. I dont bandy insults. It would be preferable if you made a logical point, i usually bow to superior argument not to invectives. When you have reviewed your manners, we can talk. Have a good evening.

arantess: no be small broda, mikel obi(26),real age 32(ask P Square), martins obafemi, taye taiwo, yakubu, aghahowa,chrisantus, stanley okoro....i could go on

Oga you can lie for Africa sha. So ure saying you enrolled into primary school at the age of 2-3yrs old. Kai! Even the genius of Isaac Newton/Shakespare/Einstien didn't achieve this in their life time!
