naija players will still find a way to beat this mri scan trust me, or else we wont win anymore age-grade competition. |

chyk91: Na so native doctors say HIV is the result of not eating pawpaw. Defeat MRI scan ke  . . . ask our first generation. Kanu (who is at least 50) was the luckiest of them.Let NFA show them pictures of Osondu now washing plates in Belgium or whatever sad job the Nigerian system has forced him to take up. |

Native doctors are gonna be ever so busy now. . . . . I see this avenue as the only way out for age cheats. . . . . . . . . . . We just want fairplay in sports at the end of the day, Nigeria and other cheating countries should bloody stop it!   |

We don't need to be scared by the Age-Test. It will only help us in the long run. I will be happy and fulfilled to see very young Nigerian boys defeating countries like Spain and Brazil to win FIFA Cadet Championships. The boys only need to be exposed to international competitions some months before the Junior World Cup tourneys. Our secondary School and Soccer Academy players are capable of doing us proud for years to come as Golden Eaglet Players. Cheers. |

According to Wikipedia, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or Nuclear Magnetic resonance Imaging (NMRI), is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the internal structure and function of the body. From the above definition, it will be difficult to give accurate ages of our eaglets using MRI. FIFA will not introduce it as it is not means to determine ages of people. IMO, Birth Certificates should be used and where that is lacking, first day in primary school should be employed. Most pupils in Nigeria enrol into primary school at the age of five. From this avenue, we can determine the age of our players. |

chic2pimp: Ol boy i no need your service oo. . . . . |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by FBS: 10:28am On Jul 20, 2009 |
norin dey happen. Let the boys do the test. |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 10:33am On Jul 20, 2009 |
FBS: And let us see how many of them will turn up for the test!  |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by FBS: 11:51am On Jul 20, 2009 |
MrCrackles:Well, they will have no choice but to turn up if they want to make the team.  |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by Nezan(m): 1:36pm On Jul 20, 2009 |
Players who are 10 years younger than their ages |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by AndreUweh(m): 6:47pm On Jul 20, 2009 |
FIFA should come up with another idea of catching age cheats not the MRI scan. Here in the UK, I work with England's largest NHS Trust in a medical field. As a consequence, I go through lots of MRI Scans on regular basis and the results are no where close to detecting peoples ages. |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by Nezan(m): 11:16am On Jul 21, 2009 |
Andre Uweh:seriously, are you joking? |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 11:20am On Jul 21, 2009 |
Andre Uweh: True, sometimes the results are inconclusive but it will still help for now. . . . MRI scans coupled with dental records if available will help in the interim! |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by DoubleN(m): 1:03am On Jul 22, 2009 |
No be Naija again? Dem go find way bypass this MRI Scan. |

| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 11:51am On Jul 23, 2009 |
tentacle45: Fingers crossed! |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by zibby(m): 8:43pm On Jul 23, 2009 |
Let the tests commence! About time too! |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by eldee(m): 9:58pm On Jul 23, 2009 |
Andre Uweh: It's inconclusive when a 21 year old is claiming to be 19 But for someone like Brash, that's 37 claiming to be 17 . . . come on |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by davidif: 10:06pm On Jul 23, 2009 |
I thought that bone marrow tests were only accurate to a couple of months? |

In Trinidad 2001 when we were playing Japan and the commentator was introducing the players it was like all the players were in High School or recent Graduate But the Nigerians like Karimu Shuaibu, Brown, Temile had all played like 5 years in Nigerian top league before playing U17. In 2007, Toni Kroos of Germany just finished his High school while Kabiru Akinsola who went for trials in India in 2004 failed and came back to join Eaglets. As at 2007, Akinsola had a wife who lived with him at Oworonsoki area of Lagos |

This age of a thing is every where, just because we are Nigerians we have to sold our brothers, here in Europe we are seeing most of the age cheaters who are not from nija but they are all oyibo, the only country i know that are not involved in this mess is England, queen Eliza said that her people will not be involved in all this under 17 cos they suppose to be at school. why are we blaming our boys or men as we all know that in nija if you don't have connection or bribe coach of a club he will not offer u a chance in the team. abeg make we no blame the players but make we blame the government wey no make provision for proper registry of a child when given birth to. most of u wey dey make noise high or low your age before u get ur pasport so that the immigration will allow u travel. anything wey FIFa cary come we go jump and pass joo. |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by eldee(m): 1:52pm On Jul 29, 2009 |
dayokanu:I think the main problem is the fact that we expect 17 year old hot prospects to spring out from nowhere Nigeria doesn't even have an U-18 league, we have only one world class football based academy . . . people even hire mercenaries in inter-school football tournaments. The only way to find good 16 year olds is by raising them from 14. Easiest ay to do this is by creating an U-16 league and forcing all clubs to have a minimum amount of homegrown playes in their team |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 2:07pm On Jul 29, 2009 |
eldee: You are right. . . . If i am correct the only world classed footie academy you are talking about is PEPSi right? i was in one of the Lagos teams over two summer holidays Nigeria FA need to develop a youth and reserve team system for pro clubs. . . .most pro-clubs should operate that way Funding is a major issue but trust me, loads of kids will play for peanuts if they are associated with pro-league clubs in a way! |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by eldee(m): 2:32pm On Jul 29, 2009 |
MrCrackles:Yeah the Pepsi one is the only real youth Academy in Nigeria . . . and prolly one in Ilorin The U-18 league system has worked in Spain and Holland, it will definitely work in Nigeria When you need to get kids to win the U-18 league as a club, you end up digging for more kids for the future It's an incentive . . . just like the homegrown player thing If they make a rule that states that all clubs must have 5 players trained at the same club since they were 16, won't that cost less than organinsing MRI scans?? |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by MrCrackles(m): 2:37pm On Jul 29, 2009 |
eldee: I see a lotta of valuable points up there boss. . . .  |
| Re: Nigeria Players To Be Age-Tested by chic2pimp(m): 7:23pm On Jul 31, 2009 |
