Tbaba gives u facts like "year he graduated from University" and all that and goes further to give u link or snap shots.

But some will just look at a picture and be assigning ages as if they have MRI machines in their eyes grin grin

Just the way tbaba knows about all aigbogun under 30 boys

A good fraction of this team played under 17 not too long ago. There is a deliberate attempt to keep the team young

Adamu Abubakar (GK) was part of Manu Garba's under 17 team. He played in the Afican tournament but missed the world cup due to injury.

Anumudu and Lazarus were part of Amunike's team

Awoniyi
Ezeh
Orji okonkwo
Chukwueze
Kingsley Michael
Nwakali

Bonaventure was part of the under 15 team.

Tosin Kehinde, brought up by Man u.

I'm really impressed with how far Imama has gone with the team... He's a coach who knows his onions... Let's hope the NFF won't relieve him of the job when Salisu returns

Wait until those that have Chronological eyes come and start pointing at 40 years olds amongst them. grin
Oga Icon4 nobody go argue this one nah..this guys really look under 23 unlike the Lazy Coach Aigbogun under 20 team, that man is a shame to nigeria football.

he could not assemble a true under 20 team even with the old players he still could not win AYC 20.

just see how players are young and star studded leave this team for lazy coaches like Aigbogun and watch him litter the team with over age NPFL players.

This under 23 team gives hope me for the future of the super eagles.... it means there is hope with this team and manu Garba under 17 team, there is hope plus the array of nigeria-foreign groomed lads abroad.... there is huge hope for our football.....

According to someone here "poverty makes someone look older than his age" grin

This U23 get more of "Cream boys" while na "aje pako" full that U20 team. grin

Haha!!!! Na true you talk on all counts. Poverty isn't good o. Had friends who because of ASUU strike and stupid age restricted employment in 9ja had to doctor their ages otherwise Na priMary school teacher dem go be. And if we look at it well some of these guys are very brilliant but due to several reasons couldn't get in university on time. God punish poverty o. A classmate of mine who I know was very smart back then but obviously had a poor background, used to sell stuff like water in school, learned french and german, Na engineering student o, had to go through poly first so was a direct entry student. But he was in his late 20s when he graduated, guy didn't change his age, be my guest, wasn't employed by any of the multinationals cos he was 'old'. That said a lot of factors militate against the average ajepako, these guys have huge walls in front of them and at the end, the only way they see to escape extreme poverty might be to scrape a few years away otherwise poverty continues.

Rizespor's Okechukwu Appointed Nigeria U23 Captain, Kelechi Nwakali Named Assistant Captain
Rizespor star Azubuike Okechukwu will lead the Nigeria U23 players onto the Stade du 7 Mars, Ben Gardane pitch when they tackle Libya in an U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

The central midfielder has the most caps for the Olympic Squad and coach Imama Amapakabo didn't think twice before selecting him as the captain of the squad.

Okechukwu captained the Dream Team VI in every single game they played at the 2015 U23 AFCON, with the exception of the semifinal against Senegal which he missed as a result of accumulated bookings.

Arsenal loanee Kelechi Nwakali has been named as assistant captain for the two internationals against Libya.

The Porto attacking midfielder is a player with excellent leadership qualities, having captained the 2015 U17 World Cup-winning Golden Eaglets and the Flying Eagles team that failed to qualify for the 2017 U20 World Cup.

Meanwhile, Bologna loanees Kingsley Michael and Orji Okonkwo, and Spezia's David Okereke have not yet reported for international duty as at 0902 hours on Tuesday, March 19.
