Evergreen4:There are many players who don't get national call ups for these foreign teams, yet they don't want to come to play for Nigeria. I am not saying you are wrong but it's a mere assumption, you can't play for a country you don't love, the national team is not a club. |

He needs a squad like the Super Eagles to showcase his potential, and this might help him land a better contract because right now it seems like the young man is working for free for his club with that meager salary he is getting from them weekly. Earning £1538 weekly as a professional football player can cause depression. |

When I see black players from africa playing for England, it makes me wonder that blacks will never ever learn. Bukola saka is Yoruba but will never earn my respect in this lifetime. I fault his parents too. The same people that came to enslave you and turn your land to a desert, that same country you choose over your own country. This is beyond patriotism, it is a spiritual thing 1 Like |

Discountsempai:EnglandLeague Two is ranked higher than South Africa Premier League where Nwabali plays, you also missed where it was stated that he is an Arsenal player and has been on loan at Stum Graz in Austria Bundesliga. Dude has better experience than Nwabali. |

Agbadocassava: No gain talking about displacing anyone We need competition to make everyone sit up Just becausr Nwabali is doing well should not make us have heart attack when he is injured because Uzoho will replace him We need plenty players in every wing of the super eagles so that is anything happens we wont be fasting a praying for the replacment to be good enough to save us from avoidable defeat - we once had 4 great goalkeepers in the Super Eagles when we were at out peak in 1994 - Peter Rufai/ Wilfred Agbonavbare/ Alloy Agu / Christian Obi ——- with David Ngodigha on the side —/// All good in their prime - Thats what we need now- An avalanche of talents at every wing so that no player can play God to Nigeria |

Omoawoke:Playing for England is way way better than playing for Nigeria, as an ex Three Lions player John Fashenu still receives pension from the British government, can you say the same for our ex players ? |

uniquetechng: You obviously don’t understand my post. When you dig a little into history, read about Berlin conference and how the British destroyed our dear continent with their colonialism and slave trade era. That’s what is still affecting us till today and we haven’t recovered. And that’s why the Africans are still unable to enjoy the resources of their land because the resources are being exploited by the same England. It’s not about patriotism, it’s a spiritual thing to choose a side that enslaved your ancestors and made even their generations (which includes us) to lose balance till date. And when you try to enter their country, they make it very difficult, yet cocoa from africa is feeding European kids while kids here die of hunger. You can have British passport, American passport, make all the money you can over there, but when it’s time to give back, it should not be to a country like England |

You guys make me laugh. Talking about his "patriotism" and s**t lol. Dude knows that he has ZERO chance of getting into England first 22 let alone first 11. Dude also plays for Wrexham. That's like division two. Dude understands that he has a better chance of getting more play time playing for Nigeria than England. It's just commonsense. Nigeria is a fall back option for many people when things don't go well abroad. Know this and know peace. It's the very reason many of us are here. The same thing with non-Nigerians like Peseiro. Nigeria is an option for people who aren't doing well in the very competitive western world. We should focus more on home-players who are hungry and have no plan "B" if things go south. 1 Like |
