Are there ages verified by a state run body, no they are not.

So you rely entirely on the integrity of the player in context of Nigeria that's simply not feasible.

So because you look 15/16 you are 16 look at Ashley Young he is how old❓ If he was Nigerian he could conveniently claim 25 nobody would argue. Look at Ademola he still looks 16 he is Nigerian he must therefore be 16.

Ndidi failed a MRI scan in 2013 but he is still 23.

The fact remains that age cannot be verified or proven in Nigeria, by any official independent mechanism.

But you all get hypocritical when this is mentioned.
Chei!

You have debunked nothing but running in circles.
You're a devious personality. You mischievously brought up Kayode's stats showing his call ups, you couldn't bring up Osimhen's to make a comparison, yet you want me to believe you just because you said it.

Osimhen only got 1 call up when he was at Germany, Kayode got 4, how is then is he being favored?

Goals: Naija lads leading the way in Latvia

Tolu Arokodare (Valmiera) - 14 goals in 13 league games. 13 starts.

Chinonso Nnamdi Offor (RIGAS FS) - 8 goals in 13 league games. 9 starts.

Richard Emeka Friday (FK Liepaja) - 6 goals in 12 league games. 7 starts.

Miracle Chikezie Nwaorisa (Spartaks Jurmala) - 4 goals in 8 league games. 5 starts.





Below is a picture of the Latvian Virsliga Top scorer, Tolu Arokodare in 2016 (extreme left in white) with the Nigerian U-17s that also had Ishaq Abdulrazak, now of IFK Norrkoping in Sweden and Adebayo Adeleye, GK now of Hapoel Katamon in Israel.
What do these boys feed on? Just look at the transformation of Tolu in just 4 years.

Bros, you were off tangent. "Favours a player".....is totally different from "frozen out"
Whatever the case may be, I've debunked your claims, there was nothing to prove that Osimhen was favored above Kayode when he was still at Germany.

What sentiment? You and your cohorts are the ones beclouded by sentiment because you are devoid of cognitive reasoning.

Is it not the same performance Osimhen exhibited last season that earned him a lucrative move to Napoli, also earned these likes to a move to good clubs?

Kayode Olarenwaju was the highest goalscorer and BEST player in the Austrian League and it earned him a lucrative move to MAN CITY but due to sabotage by the ever envious and corrupt people in the National team that denied him opportunity to play for his father's land, hope to get work permit was cut short. The guy moved on and still joined Sharktar Doneskt who are currently in the semi finals of Europa League though he is not part of this team because he was loaned to a Turkish club. Yet the boy scored 10 goals and gave 7 assists for a team that just got promoted to the Turkish league.

Yet you and your cohorts favours a player finding it hard to play in the Bundesliga ahead of Kayode. And you have the guts to tag me sentimental, huh?



What about Solanke that was the best player in the U20 world cup and went ahead to play for Liverpool as at the time Osimhen struggled for game time in the Bundesliga? So, you expected me to choose Osimhen ahead of Solanke, ba?

Don't forget the same Solanke was bought with $24m, the same way Osimhen was bought with $$$$.

Where is Lookman? Is that question due to your ignorance or conspicuously made to mock? I believe it's out of ignorance else you wouldn't be asking for a player Leipzig coughed out $27m for his service the same way Napoli coughed out $$$$¢ to get Osimhen.

Are we not happy Osimhen was bought by such club today and rate him above some players? What should we have done when Solanke and Lookman were bought for such prices? We should cry?

I can see the reason behind your sentiments. It's not far from the normal way...Na my people better pass.

Perhaps you have some kind of bitterness for these players because of their place of origin but your problem be dat. You have to deal with it.

For your information, there was no time I rubbished Osimhen, Chuks and Iheancho. Maybe you took facts as rubbing but it's not my fault you can't distinguish between the two. Sorry
The bolded part answers your question man.

Even though, I might have paraphrased and couldn't quite you verbatim, I'm sure I wasn't way off the tangent.

What is untruth? That Kayode was ignored despite the fact he was better than some players called to the national team as at that time?

He scored 5 goals in a relegation bound team while playing a different sort of role for Swansea then check the number of assists and goal scoring chances he created you will be pleasantly suprised.

5 goals in a season is abysmal but he is not unproven just not proven to be outstanding yet LOL

Tammy offer almost the same clinical finishing of KC maybe even better as he shoots with both feet unlike KC and has an eye for goals, a real poacher but with Shakara, he can dribble. He then offers an aerial threat also he is deceptively fast with his long legs. He is quite resilient and strong but not as strong as Ighalo. However, I suspect world cup referees may not take too kindly to too much physical play. In this regard he may not need that level of strength. As he will draw fouls using intelligent play.

Tammy is in a somewhat struggling team who will not create many chances for him. So his goal tally in Swansea team will not be too.

Who is best open to debate. I still think Ighalo is best all rounder who creates a lot of chances and will bully most defences in the World cup.

Toy posted stats of Kayode's calls to the team for the year 2017, same period Osimhen was in the Bundesliga, and I'm telling you for that period, Kayode had more call-ups.

Osimhen of course
Kayode was invited for the same game as well and even had some minutes of action to show for it, since then Osimhen didn't receive any call up until his time at Belgium, meanwhile Kayode had been called up more times.

So, your claims are essentially not true.

According to Komekn, we'd truly know what Nacho was made of when he eventually leaves Man City where he's surrounded by better players for a lesser team. Agreed! We are all a witness to what has been happening.

What we also witness was Tammy's nightmarish time at Swansea, when the boy scored his first goals for the club, Komekn was all over the place telling us how Tammy was the best young striker in the world then.

The story changed when he saw that the lad upon whom he has been pouring much encomium on was nothing special, he hopped on to the narrative that said Swansea was a team in crisis, changing managers every now and then, hence, it affected Tammy's form.

Tammy effectively drove Swansea into relegation, it was a good thing they severed all ties with him if not so, he'd have further pushed them down to the league 1.

So, I put it to you Komekn, we'd truly know Tammy's quality when he moves to a team of lower quality.

I was on about how it is not taken seriously, the games that were scheduled to be played this year moved to 2022, There was no Champions League for our ladies

How do we expect to maintain this dominance?

This Continent sef
Secular? What has secularism got to do with anything in this discourse?

Sentiments wouldn't cut it here. How many people watch female football? How many women enjoy watching their fellow women play.

It's not a Nigerian or African thing. Check out the wage disparities in the American female national teams, the WNBA when compared to their male counterparts.

Africa as a continent have limited resources to shore up the females football organization more than they are currently doing.
