That's not true, is that what he told you❓

That's negative unfounded prejudiced speculation on your part.
Wc one is prejudice.. Am saying d fact,even d bukayo saka guy,dts claiming nigerian according to chriskel post,am still not feeling comfortable with d report,cos am cin dt saka guy to become an integral first team starter of arsenal soonest with his recent performance, once he's having constant performance,and British media hypes him to heaven as usual,don't b surprise, saka might change stance,once he sees dt d senior chance is sure.its a no brainer,like tbaba will say we can't compete with England in terms of player tussle...

Its just like a fresh engineering graduate seeking a job... He got two offers from shell(England) and a teaching job(Nigeria)...wc one will he go for? grin...its when d graduate has no job offer,after so many attempts on getting his dream job,he will now settle for anything to survive...dts d exact scenario playing out with d British-nigerian players smiley

Sheyi Ojo: An Open Challenge to Eagles’ Manager
editor October 5, 2019 5:58 Am


While the egg heads of the Nigeria Football Federation are labouring to convince some English players of Nigerian descent to star for the Super Eagles, Glasgow Rangers forward, Sheyi Ojo, has charged, Gernot Rohr, to just call his name and he’ll be there

Glasgow Rangers forward, Sheyi Ojo has said he was ready to commit his international future to Nigeria ahead of the Three Lions of England after the 22-year-old made the declaration on his social media handle recently.

The Liverpool academy graduate is, however, waiting desperately for an invitation from Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr.

“I’ve made it known that I am willing to switch allegiance to Nigeria. I’ll be glad if I am called up because just like Joe Aribo I also want to play for #Nigeria at senior level,” he said on Twitter.

The 22-year-old has represented England at all youth levels from the U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19, U-20 and U-21 levels and was a key member of the squad that won the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea.

Ojo, who was born to Nigerian parents in Hertfordshire, has revealed that he would ‘never turn down’ the three-time African champions but rather think about the call before making his decision.

“To be honest, I don’t know much about it (Nigeria interest), but if they call me I’d be honoured to go to Nigeria,” Ojo told BBC Sport.

“It’s obviously a massive nation. I’m just really focused on club football at the moment, but I’m excited about the future, both club and country.
“My parents are originally from Nigeria as well, so they know a lot about it. They’ve always been keen on the idea (to represent Nigeria) but so far I’ve mainly been focusing on club football.
“It’s starting to get to the time where I have to start thinking about my future. And of course, if Nigeria were to call me now it would be an honour.

“Of course, if I was to get selected I’d definitely think about it, I’d never turn down Nigeria.
“I’m from Nigeria originally so it’d be an honour, likewise with England as well. If I keep doing well, opportunities will come by for club and country.

“It’s not really something I’m thinking about at the moment but you never know what could happen in the future.”

NFF boss, Amaju Pinnick, had reiterated severally that youngsters of Nigerian origin who are doing well in England and other leagues will wear the Nigerian colours at the appropriate time.

He said it had been in the plans of the present NFF board to build a young Super Eagles team ahead of the 2022 World Cup, adding that the federation is monitoring several Nigerian players that are making waves in the various leagues.
The on-loan Liverpool forward has revealed he’s started the process to switch allegiances to the Super Eagles.

Ojo said: “I have made it known that I am willing to switch allegiance to Nigeria. It’s up to the coaches to decide on picking up in the squad and in the meantime, all I have to do is to keep doing my best at Rangers and hope I get noticed.”

Ojo recently claimed that Rangers were the best team in Scotland, but Rangers hero Barry Ferguson has urged him to keep his mouth shut after the winger reiterated his thoughts that Gers were the best team in Scotland.

When asked recently if he stood by his comments the playmaker said: “I stand by what I said and I think Rangers are in a good run of form.

“We are doing really well so far this season and we are looking hungry. Any team that looks hungry and is getting wins, it can only be positive. Of course, we have to give Celtic respect but, from my own opinion, I believe we can have a really successful season.”
Yinmu....baba go change mouth now when an elite club comes for him and he begin to churn out consistence performance smiley...dis guys just dey use us as option cheesy

Bros wat he is saying is dat if u put tammy in the lille team vs a big team like chelsea he wont be able to get dat rating dat osimhen did...and that is d truth, unless u agree dat 1) ur chelsea team is on the same level with lille.. and 2)that tammy played beta tonyt even tho he was surrounded by way more matured and seasoned professionals.
These re just funny tots and dts all,most of dis scenarios doesn't work out most times in real life situations... A good example is nacho,when nacho was adjudged d deadliest striker behind c.Rinaldo in Europe due to his goal ratio per minute on d Field under pellegrini,we all taught nacho would turn to a beast under guardiola when he was announced as d replacement coach to pellegrini

What happened afterwards....baba was just "soaking" up drills and tactics under guardiola,up till now,he's till soaking up knowledge... In theGoodjoe voice...anyway what am trying to say is @ d moment Tammy is proving himself in a big club(Chelsea) and he has also proven himself in small clubsand its a possibility dt if osimhen moves to a "big club" ,dont be surprise,he might also flop or or become a success.. So its a two way thing.nothing is guaranteed in life,until it happens

Yes he is, but you can use dogged determination against a much stronger opponent who underestimates you.

The hungry man wins Osimhen is starving in this game. He scores two more goals and he is in the EPL by January.

Everybody in my hood is talking about Ayo Saka, asking me (Mr Super Eagles) whether he was a Nigerian and why he isn't playing for Nigeria yet. Funny enough, most of them ain't really interested in anything Eagles but were blown away by his display yesterday. I wish we would get that guy. One said he has the qualities Madrid and Barca look out for, in players


I was with Lemar Obika's younger brother, earlier today and he told me some interesting things about the Saka family in London.
Paddy...gba be..confirm lo wi(na confirm u talk)

As far as I am concerned if we re only left with one choice btw saka and Tammy ,(ie both players re willing to change deir allegiance to play for us but we can only pick one)...I won't think twice b4 picking saka....my reason is simple...saka kind of player is rare(if he continues to perform and get better as a player), he would be more useful dan Tammy... My opinion cool

A very key element to that goal was Osimhen made a run to the near post thereby dragging 2 defenders to him and making space for Aribo

Ighalo would have stood at the center of the box making the defenders comfortable and any late run into the box would be clattering into him
Ighalo is gone for good,na osimhen dey dere now..let him make history for himself, same as Iggy did as d highest goal scorer in afcon 2019 wink

sorry bro I will have to disagree with you the Wilfred I usually see in the super Eagles does not stand out like he does for Leicester City for us he usually performs above-average I'm yet to see him have a man-of-the-match performance for us he definitely has it in him but I think quality competition will drive him to that level of performance for the national team
I would even disagree with u...ndidi only posted above average in d game against Guinea, every oda games d guy has played for us IMO is average or below average compared to what we use to c him play in Leicester wink

This is not true. Ndidi has had some really good games. The one that comes to mind is the friendly against Argentina. Monster in that game.

I can never play Etebo as an only DM if Ndidi is available. Ndidi protects the defense better. Simple. The stats back that.

The thing with DM is that it is easy to ignore what they do because it is not fancy.
Meanwhile,whenever we want to refer a game as an excuse or a stat,please let's stop making reference to DT argies friendly... Any small thing against Argentina, same thing u guys did to nacho prowess in free kick,always citing dt match

Match wey don almost reach 2years now, grin grin

Ndidi should not be a sure starter. The only thing meaningful he has done lately was giving away the silly free kick that did us in AFCON. He has not translated his Leicester form to the SE as of yet.
U get sense I swear....I don't knw y ppu love all dis lopsided blind support, we av two diff ndidis,Leicester ndidi and super eagles ndidi

Ndidi is not special in eagles,he's just every oda player out dere in eagles...

See his mouth like "I've always wanted to play for Nigeria". If he had broken into Arsenal first team we would've been the one going cap in hand begging him while he does shakara for us like a teenage girl.

It's seems these FB's have only one plan: aim for the three lions and fall back on the SE when all else fails. That's why we will continue to get the average ones while the Dele Allis and Abrahams will continue to play for the Queen.

Graham Potter of Brighton is very bright and he has got the team playing some breathtaking football when it comes to build up plays.
