Efe Ambrose Reveals Why Fikayo Tomori Is Not Proud Of His Nigerian Root by LifestyleTonite: 2:50pm On Oct 04, 2019 |
Former Super Eagles defender, Efe Ambrose has revealed why Fikayo Tomori is not proud of his Nigerian roots. He made this known in reaction to the news that the Chelsea player had been called to play for the Three Lions of England. Also called to join the squad for England’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Czech Republic and Bulgaria is Tammy Abraham. If both players accept and eventually play for England, their eligibility to play for Nigeria will be ruined. Reacting to the news, Efe Ambrose stated that he was shocked when he was told Tomori had Nigerian roots. This was during their time together at Derby County. According to Efe, he doesn’t find fault with him because he was born and raised in England. “Tomori was very popular at Derby. He has later voted the player of the season but not once did he talked about his Nigerian roots. In fact, it was a journalist friend of mine that told him he has Nigerian roots. It’s very unusual because most Nigerian players born abroad usually like to associate with fellow Nigerians particularly if you have played for the national team as I did for years,” the 30-year-old told Owngoalnigeria. ”I am not surprised, in fact, I would have if he decided to represent Nigeria. He feels very British which is understandable considering the fact that he was born and raised there. Canada is the biggest losers considering the fact that he played for them at U17 level based on what I gathered”, Efe Ambrose said. https://wotzup.ng/efe-ambrose-reveals-why-fikayo-tomori-is-not-proud-of-his-nigerian-root/ 6 Likes 2 Shares

There is no reason to fault the young man. He was born and raised in England and was probably not well intimated about his roots. He probably knows very little about Nigeria. I won't be surprised if he doesn't know what his name means... Hence, the choice to play for England. 17 Likes 1 Share |

I don't think it's by force since he was born in the UK. Besides, if I were in their shoes, I would rather do the same. |

Allow him rest jor What does Nigeria has to offer him? As Isaac Promise die now, has NFF even released a statement? NIGERIA had done nothing for him He stands to lose nothing abandoning Nigeria... At least wherever he is playing, his allowances and match bonuses will be paid swiftly. He wouldn't get embarrassed at the airport because some circus of clowns called NFF didn't sort their flight. Thumbs up Tomori, you did the right thing 28 Likes 3 Shares |

Good for him. But I hope he doesn't come to Nigeria in the future with his British accent to hustle endorsements with the likes of Iwobi, Musa, Chukwueze and co. John Fashanu comes to mind in this regard. If he does, the thunder wey wire am go pass 100000 volts. 8 Likes 1 Share |

oloriooko: His parents were nigerians but he was born and brought up in Britain, he speak British English not Nigeria. is the reason for his name...tommorrow he can change name to John Doe. Nigerians bearing foreign name nko ..100% of the north is bearing Arab name (Ahmed Musa) Why should he play for Nigeria? He has better chance of career progress with England The talents in Nigeria nobody recognises them until they go abroad for eg Anthony Joshua, we have boxers trainging in National Stadium every day no company etc have sponsor them to win world tittle or even build world class boxi ng gym 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Maybe we should blame his root for not telling him earlier. If u don't knw abt a country/state, their names won't matter to u. He can decide to pronounce his name other ways and we here knw d right pronunciation. No shit man. Good luck to u My opinion |
