i happen to have it on good authority that about the only Eagles players that use their real ages are Osaze and Efe Sodje. Sodje was born in the UK but attended Government College,Ughelli. A cousin of mine happened to be his friend and classmate so his age can be confirmed.Better still, the guy holds a British passport which makes it hard to falsify age. As for Osaze,he was born in Uzbekistan.he uses his actual age till today. If anyone outthere knows the real ages of any Eagles player,why not add it to this thread.i think it will make for some funny reading.

Mikel Obi. 19- he is an Apata Boy

@Teeroy

For the second time in this forum, i disagree with this subject for obvious reason.

This forum reaches beyond Nigerians.

Thank you.

Of course, it reahes beyond Nigerians.that is quite obvious but it is still an issue no matter how tou look at it and besides this happens to be a naija forum so there couldn't be a better place to bring it up. if it werent an issue then why have we suffered a FIFA ban for the sake of siasia,uwe and sadi??

Check Teeroy very well.

This subject had been dealt with extensively in one of the topics.

I am sure you know why i did not want us to continue anyway.

Why don't you want us to continue?

@ AKOLAWALE

u don't want obafemi to go on strike again?

or u think mikel obi will fail the chelsea test? 

to the topic: my cousin in nigeria say even the oyinbo lie about their age, i told him they have records of every birth nad plus the media here dont just do "chairman sir" they'll expose ur a$$ nothing to fear, he kept sayin how can rooney be reh re reh, and arjen robben,

according to my cuz : TAye taiwo is 28!! , all the boys that played for the under 21, none of them is under 21
okocha i heard is about 38
kanu about 32

plus theres no way u can know their real age, they'll never tell anyone!!

@ Everyone

Call me names, i will accept.

Our Country would have been zero if there's no influx of Pounds and dollars.

Even if Obasanjo call himself eighteen years i will support him as long as he improves my country and touch the lives of some people.

I know a particular Super Eagles player who if not for age falsification and abroad, the family would have been wretched.

I don't know why akolawole doesn't just want us to go on.na u be moderator??.Let people state their thoughts on this issue. You said u know one Eagle that if not for age falsification his family would have died in penury.just one??. We know many but that does not mean the issue should be treated as if it does not exist. My starting the thread was not meant to criminalise these players ok?? just to see the lighter side of their struggle to achieve success. got a little humour in you??
