Interesting viewpoint.

But know it that men are (on average) kinder than women. Women (on average) are some of the wickedest creatures in the history of all forms and types of organisms.

Mind you, I did not say ALL women.

You are better off being close to my gender than to yours.

1) John Chiedozie.

2) Ruben Agboola (the "oyinbo" of the 1990s Eagles).

3) John Salako

4) Can you spot the "oyinbo" in the 1980 Green Eagles side? Do you know his name?

If Nigeria was living up to potential,I don't see why we can't poach even more of our mixed race children abroad.

Look at the way US is fuming over Eilen gu, that is now playing for China.

The same way they fumed over Naomi Osaka that abandoned US citizenship just to play for Japan.

Nigeria is trendy enough with a lot of history.
If we can get to a decent level of development across all areas and industrial power, a lot of foreign stars would move over to us.
If you get to a decent level you wont need to poach. With the teeming tale t in almost evry sport there is no need to poach. Thing is y are to lazy to even look and see what you have

The levels in which they poach and yours are different. You guys have mastered the art of poaching to that level that you dont even bother to develop anything. You just sit back and wait for the europeans to build your talent or look for anyone with a Niggerian sounding surname.
The home based talents are for sports festival

Answer: Tunji Banjo played for the Green Eagles in 1980. I believe that he is the first mixed race person to play for Nigeria. You can see him with Segun Odegbami, Christian Chukwu and other members of them 1980 squad.

Facts about Ashleigh Plumptre.

Her grandfather was from the Plumptre Family of Lagos, but he emigrated to the UK and married an English woman. Her father is Tim Plumptre and he had a Nigerian father and a British mother. Her younger sister is Bayleigh Bisi Plumptre and she's a drummer.

Ashleigh Plumptre had previously played for England at Under 15 level, but she said that she and her younger sister have been exploring their Nigerian side and that informed her decision to play for Nigeria at senior level.

She said that her mother and her aunt cook Nigerian food (but she said that the food they make is more pepperish than what she has eaten in Nigeria), but her father doesn't know how to make Nigerian food.

She also has two half brothers who are English.


She made her unofficial debut for Nigeria against Olimpija Ljubljana in Austria on July 23rd, 2021 (during the Super Falcons' 2021 Austria Camping season). However, she had not been cleared by FIFA to play for Nigeria at the time.

She made her official debut against Ivory Coast on February 18, 2022 and she made some vital tackles that prevented the Ivorians from scoring. Her performance in that game made the fans at the stadium to chant "Oyinbo! Oyinbo"!

She studied human biology at the University of Southern California (USC) and played for the USC Trojans between 2016 and 2019.

She returned to the UK after school and signed with Leicester City. She has had an amazing season with Leicester and apart from her excellent work as a defender, has also scored goals for them. Her performance has earned her a nomination for player of the month.

Induction

It is the tradition that new players in the Super Eagles and Super Falcons are inducted into the team. What this means is that the new player will be brought out during lunch or dinner and he or she will be made to either sing a Nigerian song, dance to Nigerian music or will be made to answer some questions posed by the older players.

Ashleigh Plumptre made her debut with the Super Falcons at the 2021 training camp in Austria and here is her induction that took place at the camp.

What does that have to do with the number of matches that she has played for Nigeria?

In fact, let me ask you, how many matches has she played for Nigeria?

(Don't try to shift the goalpost. The question is, how many matches has she played for Nigeria?)

I like your argument and the way you present your points. But what you fail to understand is that:
The training match you mentioned is not taken into account by FIFA cause it was just a training session with a local club side. That is why she could have played that match even as she was not yet cleared to play for Nigeria. Don't forget what brought this argument. The appellation of Super Falcons star. Whether you insist on two matches or the official one match, using that term is doesn't tally. Peace.

Wrong. Your statement was that she has played only one match for the Super Falcons. That's false. I would have accepted if you said that she had played only one official match for the Falcons (go through the thread and you'll see that I've already written about that). But the fact is that she played in that game against Olimpija Ljubljana and nothing you do or say can erase that.

Remember, the context of the original statement was about her performance for the Super Falcons and you implied that it cannot be determined by just one match. Well, she hasn't only played one match for the Falcons, she has played two and that's a fact that nobody can erase.
