This guy is like 40. make una check him out well well na.

Dang dude has to be at least 40 years old. . . .

HNIC:

Truth was spoken, but timing was wrong!

IFELEKE:

Topic,
Adokie has a personal axe to grind with either the ''boy'' in question or the NFF.It's an open secret that all the boys we are parading are way over 17. . . my question to adokie is why now?

FBS:

Same question we are all asking and the other issue is this, do we know for a fact is Adokie is saying the truth?
These boys passed the MRI scan and by all means were cleared to play as U-17. Now that is a FACT!

IFELEKE:

Ore,
I am 90% sure he is saying the truth(it is so very obvious that those boys are no where within the age range they claim. . .what we yorubas call ''aarun oju'') BUT my issue is the timing and intention of his so called ''truth''. In law there is term that says He who comes to equity/justice must come with clean hands'' Adokie is so very guilty of the same crime he is publicising so i wonder WHY!

saworoide:

I am sure Chief Adokiye had access to the team list before the commncement of the tournament and he should have raised this issue then. That  would have been seen as raising a patriotic observation. What does he intend to achieve by raising this issue now? To disqualify Nigeria or what?

If you look at most of the teams, especially the ones from Africa, you'll notice a lot of potentially overaged players. gambia crashed out because their 18 of their 23 member squad that won the Africa championship were disqualified by MRI tests.

Can Africans really compete in this tournament with truly under 17 players despite the nutritional challenges we face?

My person. ba wo ni.
Yes, Adokie intentions remain cloudy but you see, you said 90% i.e it is NOT a fact.

sayso:

shut up

IFELEKE:

ore mo wa, o to jo meta. . .hwdy? [size=4pt]why we no dey see you for our new yoruba thread? [/size]  
Yes it's not a fact, my 90% is based on what we all see and know. . .infact almost all the countries represented here are guilty of that age crime except(in my opinion) brazil and gambia.wrong pill?

Sagamite:

NO western nation ala Germany, Spain, Italy, USA, New Zealand etc is guilty of age crime because:

1) They keep records of virtually the whole population from birth

2) The records are PUBLIC, anyone can go and check in birth registrys

3) The have unrestraint tabloids that are more loyal to selling copies than to the nation, who would be more than happy to spread such lies on the front page as "exclusive" and "exposee" and make a profit

4) The culture of cheating or being dishonest to win is dwarfed when compared to that of countries like Nigeria


Please don't mislead.

@Sagamite, I'd expect you to be more open on this.

1. Have you ever thought of where the phrase "football age" came from?
2. At least 3 (if not more) of the players in The Manshaft featured for the Euro U-17 last year and by all means they DO NOT look that age. Much more older if you ask me.
3. The tests were performed both in Nigeria and and you don't know for a fact that the test performed in Doha was by Nigerian officials. . .That my brother nullifies that claim (that the two test were performed by Nigerian officials). Those who failed were dropped, what other proof are you looking for?
4. The highligted is a GROSS MISTAKE on your path. Boris Onischenko, Fred Lorz, Briatore, Michael Schumacher, The Spanish Paralympics Basketball Team and a host of others. Do they sound familiar to you?

5. If truely, Adokie is saying the truth then I second the idea that not only should Chukwudi come out and debunk these claims, Adokie should also mention other players that played in the same team with him (Chukwudi).

6. Looking at the players in this tourney, one can boldly say that most of them "look" more than 17 with the exception of Brazil, Gambia and maybe one or two other countries.
