and 3 years after the injury what have we seen of him? Samson siasia under 23 coach had to borrow awoniyi in a make or break away match in Zambia to qualify for all Africa games. match ended 0-0 in Nigeria, it took awoniyis brace to secure a 2-1 away victory for qualification.

Talk with knowledge,

These boys are mostly from under 17 and have passed numerous MRI tests to ascertain their age. Those tests are 99% accurate.

There is no doubt that the vast majority of the boys ar below 20.

We always have a younger youth team who get older and retire before their counterparts in nearby future.



God bless our under 20 men.

We should not condemn for the sake of condemning.

This present team is the youngest, Nigeria has presented. We are finally getting it right.

That was the case of overage players , these set of guys are different ...if u ve been following them since under 17 days u will understand what I am talking about ,some even started from under 13 . Graduated to under 15 , before they joined the under 17 World Cup team .... It's very simple , all these guys have their profile on the internet , after thy won d World Cup , their height and body size , go and check they ve developed so well and they ve grown taller than what they used to be . .is it possible for a grown adult , increase in height after a certain age (18 yrs) ? The answer is no. So bro , they went through the MRI scan at the under 17 and it's very accurate that we are fielding the youngest set of boys ... They are going there as unbeaten team and will come out unbeaten again . They are world beaters in the making

some people claiming it's a lie...it's NOT cos these days we have what is called magnetic resonance imaging which can determine your age...and the last time I played for Pepsi academy in 2010 we went through the same scans for selections to represent...so don't be saying shyte when you don't know...

Bro , u ve not been following these guys .and u know little about them . Awoniyi has increased in height after the under 17 World Cup , that will tell u slot about his age . It's very simple .these guys now under go rigorous training and also place on some special diet in their numerous club , that alone is enough to make change in physique .


I ve an 8yr old niece , she looks 13. Sometimes when we go out people argue that she's older than that age . In fact she wears clothe for 13 yr old child . God , punish poverty , na poverty dey make pikin get stunted growth .

Awoniyi for instance finished secondary school in 2012, that puts in within the age range.

Nwakali certainly looks the appropriate age. See picture below:



Besisdes, i also went to secondary school in Nigeria and i know some of my age mates were much bigger than i was. Look at the growth of Success and even Iheanacho in two years... Old men do not grow that quickly unless they are getting fat.

his career have been hit with injury crisis, talent is talent. even IHEANACHO was affected by injury but got back to his best to score against CHELSEA and MAN U(Under21). so if success is back fully, i bet you he is better than AWONIYI. Why did MANU add him in his final 23 man list. check the tournament(AYC) this guys played without IHEANACHO and SUCCESS, They scored less goals. SUCCESS IS A GOAL POACHER

MY brother I can bet my last kobo on these boys, most especially from this pix, that the boys are truly young. It seems we are beginning to get it right.

please, don't compare U17 to U20. This is like comparing Senior World Cup to U23. The terrain is tougher as the age grade gets higher. This same Awoniyi won Top Scorer at the Super Six, outplaying grown men. When last did Success score? What makes you think he's in as good a form as he was 2 years ago? In football, even 3 months can change a player. On CURRENT FORM Awoniyi will have Isaac watching him from the bench

That first goal Success scored against Sweden at U17 WC before his injury was just breathe taking. I was left gaping for a few seconds. For someone so young to have the composure to do that, shows he is world class. Awoniyi is very good but I think a fully fit Success is better.
