I'm tired of a bunch of Idiots running their mouths anytime there is an age limit tournament!! How many of us remember still remember our Atlanta Olympics  team ? How young were they?? No issue was raised then. If they present birth certificates we'll say they are fake. what makes you think Europeans don't do the same?? My don volunteer for social service here and I know how many  people wey no get birth record wey we don create for!!! p.S I am related to Alaba Jonathan so shut your trap!!! by the way our  Nigerian leagues(male & female) are not very professional and street kids  have been known to play for teams like Jigawa stars!!!

Well, you raised some good points here. UEFA folks too use overage players, as well as have corrupt politicians in power. My guess is that it is within a scope of violations in contrast to our scopeless greed.

Imagine the last Womens Youth WC where Germany beat us. Out of 23 players, I'm sure they had 7 or 8 around the age 25. Yet Naija will have 22 out of 23 players overage and their ages would average to about 31.

There's no way for NLanders to prove or disprove this, but the majority of our people believe we are using overage players and its hurting our senior teams and football as a whole.

Don't wanna draw any conclusions either way,

BUT THE TRUTH IS

We don't have a system or program for producing real under 17 or under 20 players!
