Ejiné: Na waa oh. Nairaland!

You are reporting this story 5 DAYS LATE, as it happened BEFORE they encountered Ghana on Sunday.

What is this site turning into?
What sort of laziness is this?

Don't you know that two stories reported in the wrong sequence can also count as MISINFORMATION?

Those players were disqualified before Nigeria encountered Ghana on Sunday, so essentially, the ones that duked it out with Ghana were good to go.

But with you reporting these stories in the wrong order, it would give the impression that the ones who defeated Ghana were over-aged and only disqualified after the match, hence counting as misinformation.

Na waa. [size=25pt]This site is fast sinking to the gutter.[/size]

Una for report this late story before the match, or never bothered reporting it at all.

Best statement of the day

redcliff: After sending them back home, they should arrest the Nigeria official because there is no way in heaven and earth they would deny they dont know the real ages of these players. but come to think of it, our real U17 boiz cannot stand against U-17s elsewhere because they would be totally bullied to defeat.

Clap ur hands for ur legs.u sabi body we'll well.

Na today/ Since Nduka Ugbade who were then almost 40 yrs playing under 17. So, if we need real under 17 from Nigeria, they must still be in the secondary school. Not all these old boys fielded.That is why we cannot reach anywhere in any world cup.

All our players paying with Super Eagles are all above 35 yrs and above. No single player within that age bracket, unless Osaze, Moses,Anichebe, Onasa and few like them who grew outside this country.

ola_pluto: This happened over a week ago. The affected players have since left Morroco. They did not play against Ghana. I think the BBC or any of its reporters just pasting the story is up to no good.I suspect the story is from a Ghanaian reporter who hasnt come to terms that our cadets are better than theirs.

Whether it was before the Ghana match means nothing. The reason being MRI wrist scanning is only 68% accurate. This means there's a good chance a couple more Nigerian players weren't caught.

Very correct, and there's a bigger chance all the 11 players fielded by Ghana are over 24.

No. If you know anything about statistics, the probability of that being the case is extremely low.

If FIFA's formula is good enough to catch an average of 3 players out of 24, and assuming Ghana did have at least 3 bad players, what are the chances that all 3 Ghana players were missed while other country's bad players were found?

stop saying thrash.
Since MRI which is the best device we have now is 65% correct,then there is an unavoidable possibility of more than 3 ghanian players being overaged.
You were beaten fair and square,accept it.

lets stop making noise about this over age thing joor, Nigeria is not the only country fielding over aged players.
if only our football academy could be given the much needed support, then and only then will this matter be addressed.

Keep consoling yourself. Instead of you to start feeding your players well. I thought your 'almighty' U17 beat many first team clubs in pre-tournament. Why didnt you complain then?

Veteran Ghanaian football administrator, Abbey Pobey claims the country can never win a title at the Under-17 level following the introduction of the MRI age-cheating test.

The Black Starlets recorded their worst defeat at the junior level in their country’s rich footballing history when they were hammered 6-1 by perennial rivals Nigeria in their opening match at the ongoing African Under-17 Championship in Morocco.

The Ghanaians were completely dazed by Nigeria who recorded their heaviest win over their opponent at the junior level in Marrakesh.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) conducted an MRI test on all the players of the eight teams before the start of the championship.

Nine players including three Nigerians, three Ivorians and three Congolese failed to beat technology.

However a depleted Nigerian side were too hot for the Ghanaians to handle and the Neoplan Stars owner claims the country will struggle to win any title on the continent with the introduction of the age-cheating test.

“We shouldn’t tickle ourselves and laugh. I am saying that we can never win any title if we use the right ages,” [/b]Pobey claimed on Happy FM

[b]“We have to understand that we have cheated at the U17 level for many years [/b]and we must now adjust to the new system.

“It’s a good start for us. We should look at the growth of the players and expects to win titles at the senior level but never at the junior level.

[b]“Take it from me, we can never win the U17 again if we don’t cheat. I wasn’t surprise we lost to Nigeria.
“My only disappointment was that we lost by that humiliating margin. But the truth of the matter is that if we use our right ages, we can never win.

“I think Ghanaians should get use to that so we can continue to focus on building on their talents for future prospects.”

CAF introduced the MRI test ahead of the start of this year’s competition in order to combat the widespread issue of age-cheating.

The competition which has been thought to contain over- aged players for many years is now separating ‘the chaff from the wheat’ by employing the use of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the wrist of the players thereby determining the bone density.

The bolded part says it all. Lets be honest with ourselves, Ghana is rubbish in football at all levels.
