This is the best decision he will ever make. Never associate yourself with a shithole country - you’ll stink.

Take it easy my guy. Learn to respect your country and think positively about it.This is why Trump keep throwing all your asss out. Cus you dont get That they are full and dont need you anymore. They can barely account for their own.

This a young man with the
world at his feet.The cue is too long with england. He has a finer chance with us.

If he show a little promise..England may give him one friendly call up.just to shut out the door against his mother country. In the end he may not play for England or Nigeria. Now is the time for him to take bold step with his international career. It will boost his club profile quicker even.

People like iwobi, balogun, can proudly call themselves world cup veterans. Abraham. That swansea guy, who can barely hold down first team position in sawnsea is still dreaming of playing for enland. I don't know weather he is planning to assassinate kane. All because of wrong advice and false sense of what they are.

Learn to use your opportunity wisely. Nigeria is not such a bad country. We are holding our own. We are regular at the world cup. We are a force to reckon with in this continent among historical nations like egypt, Ethiopia,.etc.

If better minds joint the ranks and follow consistency like the way mikel, musa, ad the likes of balogun are doing. We will dominate Africa and do well the global scene..I am positive about nigeria.

Green white green baby !

Another Nigerian name!!! angry

Trizzi:
Everton youngster, Ademola Lookman, who was born in England to parents from Nigeria, has snubbed his home country to play for the English side.

The young footballer reportedly pledged his future to England after holding face-to-face talks with Under-21 head coach Aidy Boothroyd over stories linking him to Nigeria.

This comes weeks after Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr who is preparing his squad for next summer's Africa Cup of Nations said he 'wanted to change his mind so he can play for us as he will add something to our team'.

England Under-21 head coach Aidy Boothroyd confirmed on Tuesday evening the youngster who was part of the Under-20 squad that won the World Cup in 2017 has pledged his future to his birth country.

"Every time I see him I have a little joke with him about it,' said Boothroyd. 'I say: "Why would you want to leave us?"

'But he's very focused on England – that's what he tells me. He says he wants to play international football for England.'

Speaking Lookman's difficult year after moving to Germany to join RB Leipzig on loan before returning back Everton, Aidy said:

'He's had a tough time of it, but he's been better recently,' said Boothroyd. 'He got himself into a state over summer when he didn't know where he would be playing or if he would be moving or not. Now he has just got his head around the fact that wherever it is he is playing, he has to play well.

'He has told himself "I just have to focus on me" which is right. When you look at Dominic Solanke, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Tammy Abraham, Reiss Nelson, Ryan Sessegnon and Ademola, we have some real attacking talent.'

Another Agbolanhor and Shola Ameobi.

Boy, bye!

Nigeria is a shithole, but playing for your country is not living in the country. It is where you will reap more rewards than playing for England.

Iwobi is lauded by Arsenal and worldwide and has received endorsements all over because he plays for Nigeria. Tammy Abraham, I am told, regrets choosing England over Nigeria. Who will he bench? Harry Kane? Sterling? Not in a million years.

Again, Lookman will come to regret this decision.

They should come here where sentiment will be use to relegate them to the bench ba or is it not the same Eagle that one set won the Nations Cup n got to the second round of the World Cup it was disbanded while the present can not make it out of the group stage at the WC n struggle to qualify for AFCON but was not disbanded.

How does this concern you

It is his life not yours - stop crying more than the bereaved

It is hypocrite like you that have just one-month visiting visa and never comes back to Nigeria. Face your front Mr. Falana! Who will see England and play for a lifeless country like yours??

Has Nigeria not also used and dumped players? So what's wrong if England does it?
