They made the right decision. The Nigerian government is known for never taking good care of its players.

The only player who would break into the current starting eleven is Dele Alli and probably Alaba...but when I remembered what Mbappe did to Alaba,am afraid to say dat he had drastically deformed

Still on the euphoria of Nigeria qualifying for the 2018 world cup tournament in Russia, we take a look at players of Nigerian descent who could have represented Nigeria at the biggest stage of them all but opted to represent another country

One cannot fathom what inspired the decision of these talented footballers to adorn the colours of other countries instead of the aesthetically arranged, green-white-green. Whether this happens by dual nationalities, lack of opportunities to impress on the home front or outright decision to represent other countries, Nigeria can boast of a wealthy array of football talents in diaspora.

Let's take a look at the long list of some talented Nigerian footballers who have never played for the Nigerian national team.

Chuba Akpom


Chuba Amechi Akpom, 21, is an English professional footballer of Nigerian descent who plays as a striker and centre forward for Brighton & Hove Albion on loan from Arsenal. He has represented England at youth international levels. There were rumours that several distinguished Nigerian football stakeholders, including ex-Arsenal hero Nwankwo Kanu and Amaju Pinnick,the president of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), had attempted to convince the Hale End Academy product to switch allegiance to Nigeria without success.
I would have done even more if I were them, this country is not worth dying for or making a huge personal sacrifices for. I just read last week of someone by name Iron Bassey from Cross River state who was part of the Nigerian Team that represented Nigeria in weight lift in Los Angeles in 1980. Simply because this man sustain injury he was abandoned and now he is doing a voluntary road repair work in high brow area in lagos. I never knew of this till last week and this a man I see every morning on my way to work that I and my friend argued he was probably not very ok, not knowing this man was once in the Nigerian Team very pathetic. abeg make dem no show face here ooo.

If they had been in this country that kills dream, they wouldn't have achieved this far. Probably would have ended up playing for community clubs with nobody discovering them.

They made the best decision on personal opinion but on a wider opinion, they are unpatriotic and deserve no recognition here. Anyways, who Nigerian recognition epp

Nawa o..imagine the line up of all these players? We had be competing with the best of the best

Really? The likes of Sidney Sam and Aogo are the best of the best?

The only top level players there are Dele Alli and David Alaba. Barkley, Sam and Ogbonna are merely decent players.

The rest are outright poor players that won't cut it at any decent level.

Nigeria is not part of their success So we don't deserve a drop of water from their success.

Do you also know that virtually all the black English footballers both past and present are all Jamaicans
Yet their people haven't compiled this type of "regret list"

Though we've had our fair share of these oyibo players
The likes of osaze, Iwobi, Troost, Leon etc.
