Yes, he has filed for a switch to represent Nigeria. Ejaria and Adarabioyo are awaiting clearance too, it's roughly a year plus with a lot of administrative stuff being slow due to Covid-19. Hopefully their switch is completed before our next games in March.

With respect that's a load of Balderdash.

None of the Nigerian players have played a single game for the England senior national team. They are all former England youth internationals.

This matter isn't problematic it's just very basic administrative without any contention.

Looks like things are going to get very difficult for Fulham, Jedi has just been red carded and sent off.

Three Nigerian future international playes are looking very good against Chelsea.

Don't waste your time with Komekn, if you ask him to highlight the particular thing NFF has done wrong he won't

Bros, this thing dey vex me gan ooo.

How did amaju and that Ghanaian agree to this satanic arrangement?

This is the second edition on the bounce that Ghana will be missing, a global power at this level.

Now its Bfaso again.

This arrangement is all shades of wrong.

How I wish the U 17 world cup is like the senior world cup where ur confederation loses slot for non-performance.

By the time FIFA reduces Africa's slot to 1 or 1/2 maybe they'll get sense.

Rubbish.

I don't know how Amaju and the rest of the WAFU Leaders accepted this injustice.

Our U17 were lucky to manage to scrape through but our U20 were not.

The Zoning is bad and worse still, the grouping of teams into Groups in the WAFU B zone was satanic. When Nigeria, Ghana and CIV are put one group who are then the other WAFU B teams in the other group, it is likes of Niger, Togo, Burkina Faso and Benin. Such double injustice.

However, thank God CAF has increased the number of participating teams at the U17 AFCON to 12. So each of the 6 zones in Africa will Produce 2 teams (Which to me is still not fair).
If not we would have needed to beat that Ivorian team in that final to qualify for the U17 AFCON, which would have been a very very rough mountain to climb.

I don't understand, were they supposed to give a press conference or say it on instagram live? If the news is false they would have come out to debunk it the same way Ibe and Billing distanced themselves from Nigeria.

They don't have to give a press conference but we need credible confirmation. If not, it isn't guaranteed. After all pinnick once said that Tammy Abraham has accepted to play for Nigeria only for Tammy to be called up by England few days later and he accepted England request. A simple Nigeria flag on their Instagram account sef will show some intent. Are you sure that if England calls up lookman tomorrow, he won't accept to play for England? Omo let's be watching

Fulham with one man down and a goal down are still taking the fight to Chelsea although the odds are against them.

Fulham have defended an attacked exceptionally well. Adarabioyo, Lookman, Aina have been outstanding.

Tega is marking Tega in the Chelsea box that's funny.

Fulham are really pushing Chelsea with thier 10 men right to the last minute and second.

Luku was quite good today, the only bright spark in Fulham's attack, he also put in a good shift defensively too after the red card.

Has lookman ever publicly confirmed a switch from England to Nigeria or this is even another "false news" because nationality switch shouldn't take 1 year plus England or no england
Exactly my thoughts

It's not as simple as that, there's a possibility that Tammy agreed to play for Nigeria when he met Pinnick but then things changed and he had a change of heart, only he knows why that happened.
Some players or their agents sometimes act mischievously like Sidney Sam or Philip Billing to force the hands of their preferred national team.
Dennis Aogo in his early days at Hamburg was wearing a Nigerian wristband but still ended up turning us down for Germany.
At the end of the day if any of the English players reject us at the last minute then move on the ones players that are committed in representing us.

Honestly, I don't succumb to that mentality seeing that we produced most of our Golden generation without English boys. We must still have some dignity, respect etc in approaching these guys because frankly they're England rejects.

grin grin grin Well if they had been good for their countries of birth they would have represented them including the ones currently with the SE like Ajayi, Balogun, Ekong etc.
Football development in Nigeria is just starting to improve especially at academy level, even in the SE only a few of the players represented a Nigerian clubside at the Premier league. A lot of them were snapped up directly from academies.
