I remember accurately around that 2002 period when the top striker Bimbo Adeola on brilla fm, 7:48 am, (can't recall the name of that programme that highlights the exploits of Nigerian footballers abroad) shared this news of Okocha' s nephew, when Okocha himself was at his peak in Bolton. I said to my very young self, when will this young chap mature to play for Nigeria, but here is he before us today already making waives. Pheew! How time flies!

This shows that nothing like football age in England.Had it been he grew up in Nigeria, he would hav been claiming 12 yrs old while he is 19.
Compare Iheanacho to Iwobi in looks, and be honest with yourself.

This is massive! I hope he doesn't turn around to go play for England tomorrow? Waiting for Dele Alli of Tottenham to toe his path..

You are simply lazy.

Where was Kelechi Iheanacho born?
Nigeria!

Where was Ighalo Born?
Nigeria!

Mikel nko? Same Nigeria.

Iwobi was born in Nigeria but grew up in England. The main reason why most Africans lie about their age is because they finally get the chance to prove themselves at a junior academy when they are far above that age. When I clocked 17,i knew I had to choose education cos I might not eventually get a chance to prove myself cos Nigeria is all about how much you have or who you know.Maybe had my Parents been supportive,i might have gotten that chance.

We have lots of Messi and Ronaldo in this Country but because our Academy are not standard and also Parent's ignorance(you can't blame them) they fail to make it as footballers

Now you do you maths before you call me lazy.

My respect and regard for baba arsene Wenger is increasing. He must have been instrumental to the signing. He believes in catching them young and grooming them, unlike that grumpy soul called mourinho that always goes for finished product.

the average Nigerian is a workaholic and he successfully takes that hardworking attitude outside the shores of this country,he must do well.for example,the average Nigerian student can sit for more than 6hrs just to study and in the end,the sadist of a lecturer gives him a poor score cos he doesn't want his student to be better than him

Oga!!


You cannot enter into an Agreement with a Minor.. Even a 15year old cant sign a binding agreement.


Don't Argue this matter further and take it as a lesson learnt.

Re: Alex Iwobi At 7 Signed With Arsenal In 2002 (Photos) by awistle(m): 3:44pm On Mar 24, 2016
lol u people are so naive here, this kind of contract signed at a young age qualifies u to their academy,they dont pay you till u reach a certain age like 15 when u can start collecting stipends from the club then officially sign a professional contract at 17 if the club wants to keep u.

FYI Wenger only trains the first team and Iwobi only joined the first team last year or thereabout.
