Nope..

Why?

TheGoodJoe:


Above 22 by what? A second, a minute, days, months or years.

andrew444:


Agreed bro I have no proof ,yes not all African are age cheat that's

Even the ones that claim I am wrong have no proof so we are all the same

The biggest age cheat are the South Americans but many people on this thread will refuse to believe in me ,maybe because they believe the South Americans are better than Africa ,don't know their reasons .

andrew444:


Sir goodjoe nacho is not 22 years ,nacho is not old ,but nacho is not 22 years ,take it or leave it

ChrisKels:


Can u give a single rational point to back up ur assertion? Or, this is u being preposterous with ur usual preconceptions?

What exactly do u even know about African football that u wanna take us on?

Mickael2:


You are a bad man walahi

ChrisKels:


Why do u always make an indefinite article "An" precede a consonant "H" in ur sentences, even when the consonant aint silent?

TheGoodJoe:


You are funny. You just run with take it or leave it.

Do not worry, I will leave it because I believe you have nothing to back the comment. .

andrew444:


No sir

I think you don't speak your mind ,we know the truth no need for you to even comment back because deep down you get my point

ChrisKels:


That thing dey irritate me, honestly. Ppl who write that way, appear half-baked, to me. As thick as ur assent is, it shouldn't affect ur written English, as long as u once hit the four walls. Sorry if that was brash

TheGoodJoe:


Which truth do you know? From no where, you falsified the four years and above of Mikel. Now you are shouting not 22 years old.

As I said before, I have more faith in Science than them say.

Nacho passed the MRI test and that is good enough for me. Than what my mind thinks. My mind thinking is not close to pass as fact.

TheGoodJoe:


Tell me the South American you know who was above 30 years old carrying an U20 passport.

Danielnino00:


Its just my own way of writing ..

Is it peculiar to Edo people or what?

andrew444:


I am just saying what I know about Nigeria football

Mikel is one of the few with lower ages in the 2005 world youth championship ,I repeat mikel removed about 4 years from his age ,take it or leave it,if you like make him be your class mate self na fact I dey yarn so

The rest are players who reduced about 10 years

Waiting for someone to come and tell me John owoeri and co didn't deduct about 8/10 from their age

They are participating in a tournament in Turkey.

junnyjake:

Na me hate mikel but na Be go dey monitor championship because of am

No matter wetin I talk e no fit bring any player down,e no go reduce the player salary ,I am just a football fan being realistic

andrew444:


Agreed bro I have no proof ,yes not all African are age cheat that's

Even the ones that claim I am wrong have no proof so we are all the same

The biggest age cheat are the South Americans but many people on this thread will refuse to believe in me ,maybe because they believe the South Americans are better than Africa ,don't know their reasons .

NFF better sort that out before an opponent files a complaint.

TheGoodJoe:


How can you even say he is correct? Do you know what a 16-18 year old boy looks like? Mikel was picked up by Pepsi Academy at 12 years old. If Mikel was as Andrew444 claims, 4 or more years older than his claimed age, then, Mikel was 16 or more. When he was found as a 12 years old.

Sorry, it is not true that Mikel is four years older than his true age.

edi287:

You're acting like you don't know how some of these naija "academies" work.
How many times have we heard stories of players who come for trials but get told they are too "small" and should go down an age grade??

I'm not saying Mikel shaved off 4 years(maybe he did, maybe he didn't) but let's not use "he was found as 12" talk as proof he is truly 12....this is naija...everything and anything is possible.

TheGoodJoe:


Found at 12. It is difficult to be 16 and above and claim 12.

The know how academy point you are saying is not a factual point. As you have said, "heard stories". Most of these arguments are rumor Mills.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


Mikel was found as 12. Four years or so later when he played for Plateau United, he was seen as a secondary school boy. If the 4 years older theory was true, then he was found at 16 years and 4 years later, the Plateau United fans saw a 20 years old man and criticised the coach for fielding a Secondary school boy. Is that possible? Definitely not. The 4 years shaved off Mikel's age is simply not true.

Finito.

edi287:

Yeah because we don't have 20 year olds in high school in nigeria?
If we go by the theory of not reading people's ages solely from their looks - are you saying some people don't look younger(or older like some say on here) than their age??

edi287:

Not rumor mills - I've actually seen it with my own eyes. I had a friend who trialed for U19 when he was 17 but was told to go to the U15 team because he "looked young".
I also know of a guy who sent his son for U17 trials but got told to take him to the U12s. These guys have no reason to lie or whatsoever.
True maybe it is difficult to pass off a 16 year old as 12 but why are you ignoring the probability of handlers agreeing to pass a 16 year old as 12?? You've probably lived in naija longer than I have so I'm suprised you'd disregard some of these stories as "rumor mills"

TheGoodJoe:


You can not see a 20 years old man and feel he is a secondary school boy.

It is not about looking younger but looking like a secondary school boy.
