BBCSports: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/8150224.stm I support this to the core. . . . . . |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 5:21pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
We cant have someone who is nearing 30 parading and posing as someone who is 16! Nigerian is fraudulent on all fronts. . . . . . . Kai, dem swear for us? |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by Sauron1: 5:22pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
The average age of the Nigerian under 17 squad is 32. |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 5:34pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
~Sauron~: I swear. . . . MRI bone scans will deter age cheats. . . . . |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by Borat1: 5:37pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
Oh no! We're just about to have our entire under 17 team disbanded |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 5:48pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
~Borat~: Who cares. . . .As long as we dont parade grandfathers pretending to be teenagers! Nigeria's image has suffered enough! |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by ow11(m): 6:12pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
Good move but the fear is the abuse as talented U-17 players will be said to have failed the age test. All in all at least we expect to see players that will play in 5 world cups and the experience gathered will maybe even help us win it at some point. If Okocha can play in 3 (4 if we qualified in 2006) then a gifted 17 year old Nigerian can play in 6. |

ow11: Very True!! ~Borat~: |

some babalawo's are gonna see a spike in business Okija Juju better start printing business cards |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by snowdrops(m): 10:47pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
I guess this may spell the end of our winning or doing well for that matter in all under-aged categories; men and women. Also it will affect most other african countries as they are as guilty as nigeria. Dont be surprised south americans brazil et al could be caught out |

LMAO! |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by davidif: 10:55pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
I thought this thing was only accurate to within a couple of months? |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by davidif: 10:56pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
By the way, mckracles, where is your source? |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 10:57pm On Jul 14, 2009 |

Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 10:59pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
bawomolo: Those boys are working hard to beat the new system now. . . . . . |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by davidif: 11:04pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
Wow, this is going to be an amazing development. |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by asha80(m): 11:26pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
@Mr crackles Is their any way this can make front page? |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 11:46pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
asha 80: I wont promote my own thread. . . .If the admin deem it worthy, fine! |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by yousouph(m): 5:45am On Jul 15, 2009 |
Age cheat is everywhere. Mostly from Africa and South America. Just that Naija is the king of age cheat. At least we'll ave under 20's playing whether MRI or not. |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by folem: 9:07am On Jul 15, 2009 |
ow11: Kanu was from our U-17 and he has played in 2 (France 98, Korea Japan 2002) but it could have been 4 and if we make it to SA 2010 maybe 5 (was not selected for USA 1994) |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 3:03pm On Jul 15, 2009 |
yousouph: Not as rampant as in Nigeria. . . . . . At all levels and in all sports, Nigerian sportsment and sportswomen are notorious for backdating thier ages! |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by Morizo(m): 5:02pm On Jul 15, 2009 |
This is d best solution if we want Nigerian players nominated for CAF footballer of the year from 2018 and beyond. No be to play two years and marry. IF this guys no even outsmart FIFA self |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by bawomolo(m): 5:25am On Jul 16, 2009 |
this is a good idea. i won't be surprised if we never hear from most of the players in the Olympic squad again. |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by omar22(m): 10:59am On Jul 16, 2009 |
Yeah when Cameroun still have Rigobe Somg playing for them |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 11:17am On Jul 16, 2009 |
omar22: Who told you Rigobert Song is playing for the under -17's |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by dominique(f): 2:04pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
song retired from international competition after he messed up in Ghana 2008 finals, he must have been at least 45 |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by ow11(m): 2:15pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
dominique: Sorry but Song is still the Camerounian captain and was held as the main reason (and Geremi) why Cameroun is doing badly in the current world cup campaign. He is fast approaching 50. |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by dominique(f): 2:25pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
haba he never tire. . . till he's 60 and his grandkids come and join him in the team |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 2:30pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
You guys are mad hilarious. . . . .Song 50 I still get a lotta stick about the age thing from my footy team mates. . . . . This is the time of the year we sign on forms and when i got handed the form last week, they joked - MAKE SURE U STICK IN THE CORRECT AGE! |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by agabaI23(m): 2:37pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
hehehe This is a good development. |
Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by eldee(m): 2:47pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
This just dashed all MrCrackles hopes of making Nigeria's Under-17 team Can't you see how concerned he is?? |
