Kelechi was sent to the MLS to train with Columbus Crew or what have u before he broke into city's first team. U have forgotten that so soon. Guy u have this parochial sense of reasoning that u always sound pathetic whenever u post a comment, no wonder some people here see u as a troll. Please for once, try to disappoint us by being more rational with ur posts.

Why was he sent to Columbus Crew(dis one even better pass Dutch second division)?

About been a 'troll', is speaking my mind 'been a troll'?

joseph1013:
You're singing to the choir, bro. thegoodjoe will not listen to you. If he has his way, U9 will play against Barcelona main team and he will still call it exposure. That's the way he thinks. Save your breath!

Hehehehe! Very funny.

OdenigboAroli:
This guy again. So,Nigeria doesn't invite players in second division to U20 and U23? You say some VERY strange things...smh

Let it be known now that a new sheriff is in the hood. Old things has passed away, news things has began.

tbaba1234:
Ejaria is Iheanacho, Isaac Success and Ndidi's age mate.... Nwakali played under 17 last year.

Kelechi Nwakali was in the same camp with Iheanacho and Success but he could not make the team.

Even though he qualified for special talent to get work permit, he was rather offloaded to Dutch second division.

Some people use to ask me, 'if he is good enough....he for dey for Arsenal'.

I pray he progress but he is down the pecking order for now.

jotey:
we never can tell what will happen in the future

ejaria is ahead of him @ the moment

ejaria is training with world class players weekly


make nwakali break into arsenal xi first before we call m the realeat deal

Ejaria plays as an attacking midfielder or B2B while Yahaya also plays as an attacking midfielder or winger on both sides. Kelechi Nwakali is CMF/AM.

You are right, Ejaria is very much ahead of them.

If Yahaya is considered as a Winger then Sheyi Ojo is far ahead of him.


Kelechi Nwakali needs to come out from Dutch second division before he is even considered for U20, and not to talk of U23 or Super Eagles.

National team is not waiting for anybody to grow or a place to promote preferred players ahead of the ones who worked hard to play in top leagues in Europe.

Senegal Test Lined Up For Eagles In London For Rohr To Try Out Isacc Success, Aluko & Others


Another friendly game has been lined up for the Super Eagles of Nigeria by the Nigeria Football Federation according to reports gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com.

Already arrangements have been concluded to play Egypt in Dubai on the 9th of January 2017 in a friendly game, which will be prosecuted by largely home based players.

However the NFF are also taking advantage of the FIFA free window in March to arrange another friendly, this time around in London and it will be prosecuted mostly by foreign based players.

The game will be against Senegal with the venue most likely to be Craven Cottage, home ground of Championship side Fulham FC, where Omatsone Aluko who recently issued a come and get me plea to the Super Eagles coach plays.

It is expected that Coach Gernot Rohr will call up the 27 year old, who last played for Nigeria in 2014 and Watford FC forward Isacc Success could be handed a call up as well.

Players who distinguished themselves in the penultimate friendly against Egypt in January are also expected to make the cut for the friendly

TheGoodJoe:

Read what you quoted from the beginning.

Hehehehe! Very weak and funny.

TheGoodJoe:
It seems seeing once and texting and chatting is close relationship to you. Maybe in your dictionary, not mine.

Maybe to the dad, that was close relationship. To his son, it was, NEVER BEEN THERE FOR ME.

Hehehehe! Na only texting ya eyes see?

Oya see the @bolded below.

Speaking from his Houston home, Kenny said: “We have always had a good
relationship and I’m his dad.

“I saw Dele during my trip to England last year and we often text and chat on
the phone. I’m very proud of my son.”[/b]

TheGoodJoe:


I know the meaning of NEVER BEEN THERE FOR ME.

To you, that is long loving relationship.

[/b]Speaking from his Houston home, Kenny said: “We have always had a good

“I saw Dele during my trip to England last year and we often text and chat on

Are you see what I saw? That is the words of his father.

TheGoodJoe:

Does not feel a connection with his dad. Simple. If you like, keep bothering yourself for closeness.

Who cares about what you feel? It is inconsequential, you know.

You know more than his mother, right?

tbaba1234:
“His sisters sent him a text message saying, ‘Come on, don’t be mean, your dad wants to see you’.

“Dele wrote back, ‘He’s never been there for me so why should I see him?’

From the article

When last did he see his father? Was it dis year or last year?

His mother told us there was contact between him and his father dis year. But now a new development.

Difference between the past and the present. Simple thing.

Mickael2:
i have said it before and will say it again, you guys should stop calling people trolls or haters just because of their preference or they way they talk, we are not the same you know?

And every single time you keep on mentioning that one mistake he made concerning Ejaria, we all have made mistakes. In fact I remember there was this basketball argument you had with... was it Bascon? And he totally destroyed you then and yet you didn't want to admit you lost, yet nobody ever mentions that around here anymore, that's the spirit we want, not the kind of spirit that tells you to call another a troll and to repeatedly recall his mistakes

He sounds like a communist but unfortunately dis is no North Korea. This is Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Leave him, let him continue with his delusion. If em tire em go face front.

TheGoodJoe:

So in your Foreign affairs and Policy Dictionary, snubbing a father who traveled from US to England to see his son is close relationship. Do not make me laugh.

You sabi pass em mama?

Differentiate between past and present, then and now.

Stop arguing blindly.

tbaba1234:
The mum that saw him only once a month. Only Dele can tell us the full story.

Bros, I saw my parents once in a month too, from when I was 1- 10 years old but it doesn't tell the story of my deepest love for dem.

You see, just follow wetin em mama talk first, troway ya own thoughts until Dele speaks and stop reading unnecessary meaning to the whole thing just to prove a point. It doesn't make one wise.

tbaba1234:
It is not 'recent'... It has deep roots. He replied his sister that the father was never there.

The talk about being close to the father was made by the mum that only saw him, once a month.

How did you know? Did you live him? Do you know more than his mother?

Fear naija.

tbaba1234:
He did not grow up on the streets though. From the time, he was 13, he lived with a relatively affluent family. We can't judge him becauss we do not know the full story.

Then, why conclude, his father left him when his mother already told you 'HE IS VERY CLOSE TO HIS FATHER'?

tbaba1234:
When he was a kid... What was the communication like when he moved to his foster home? Did the father reach out to the foster parents? The mum is talking about not speaking to the foster mum for a long time, Does that sound healthy? She saw her son only once a month since he was 13.

See, i know someone who was adopted... some of her direct family members hardly communicate with her. Infact, her grown-up eldest blood sister has not seen her since she was adopted about 5 years. She stays just about 1/2 hours away.

She is a young girl now and the only family she knows is her adopted family. If she becomes big and famous someday and her family try to get close to her, she could resent them and deny them access.

Dele was never legally adopted and there is nothing wrong if he stays with his foster parents.

The boy even agreed and came once in a while to stay with her mother. He also had contact with his father in the past.

Recently, something went wrong. Simple thing.

tbaba1234:
He did not grow up on the streets though. From the time, he was 13, he lived with a relatively affluent family. We can't judge him becauss we do not know the full story.

So you think he forgot the 13 years of living with his mother and the street life.

BascoVanVeli:
Yes but his father had contact with him and he even stayed in Nigeria for 6 months.

Bros, you will know some people are very mischievous with the truth.

How can dey say his father never had contact or father stayed in US while he left him in London when dey don't know anything.

Dey should have believed his mother's report and move on rather than trying to find.....

tbaba1234:
It does not sound like the mum prevented the man from seeing his son... Infact, he was sent to Nigeria to stay with the father but 'it did not work out' according to the report.. He spent just 6 months with his dad and it did not work out.

There is a lot more to the resentment felt by the boy.

It still didn't change the fact that his mother said 'he IS very close to his father' RECENTLY. As at JANUARY 2016.

What happened after that I don't care or am I bothered to know but some of you is trying hard to make us believe, 'he never had good rapo with his dad when you don't have facts to back it up.

It is not cool.

robosky02:
Nigeria is lokking more Oyibo now

Hehehehe! Very cool!

BascoVanVeli:
We didn't try, we were chasing Hybe instead. There was no reason to have waited till he left Mk dons, lets just agree we dropped the ball its not the end of the world. We have good players in our team.

We never had no interest in the lad. It is very clear and simple. Help me tell dem.

tbaba1234:
His blood is Nigerian but he did not grow up with the Nigerian influences primarily because his father was not around.

You know how it rolls na. Who owns a child after divorce, the man or the woman?

tbaba1234:
Russian league is a backwater league with all due respect. Forget UEFA coefficient, it is used to determine which number of teams qualify for European tournaments from each country.

A young player that is serious about his career should stay in western Europe. Going to places like Russia or Turkey can push a player back.

Yet Russian teams won Europa cup in this 21st century while Belgium and Dutch league are no where to be found.


If Russian team meet Belgium team, e sure say na Russian team go win. I lie?

tbaba1234:
Alli's link with Nigeria is through his father.If he does not have a good relationship with him, it was always unlikely for him to play for Nigeria.

The fact that he cut relationship with his parents to the extent of removing his last name from his jersey shows the extent of his resentment. None of us know what he has been through. His father is coming from Houston to see his games now but where was he when the boy was growing up??

There is difference between past and present. It's left for us to distinguish between the two.

At January 2016, or before he was capped by England, he was close to his father but recently something enter em head.

Maybe he was disappointed to have chosen England after England was thrown out of European cup.

It is now clear to him that trophies will elude him as long as he wears England's Jersey hence the decision to vent his anger on his father who he thought could have helped him decided to play for Nigeria.

E bi like say the thing dey pain am die.

But Nigeria never approached him.

Na my opinion ooooooo.

terzurum5:
I guess the Russian League is now better than the Fench League?

No but it is better than Cypriot first division where Shehu Abdullahi plays. It is even better than the Belgium, Turkey and so on. You know what I mean.

TheGoodJoe:
I think we should direct that at forgiveness. I have repeatedly stated topics concerning the likes of Alli should stay off the thread because their allegiance lies with another country.

He keeps returning with this was good, that was best left back. NFF failed to call. He is like an obsessed Boyfriend who can not get over an ex in another man's arms.

Dele Alli plays for England. I am interested in the hidden gems in and outside the country that are waiting for their chances to wear the green white green Jersey.

Even the Bible was written for reproof and correction, how much more common mortal can't be used as point of reference?

I continue to refer to it as my point of reference whenever I think it is necessary.

If you like make you dey think about ya ex.... na you sabi. Me, I have taken.

TheGoodJoe:


Just Negodu.

By January 2016, you want to believe Dele Alli was close to his father. It seems you enjoy deceiving yourself.

By the time his mum made that statement, Dele Alli was not close to his father.

So you know pass em mama, ba?

Is that delusion of the highest order on ya part?

terzurum5:
If you are the Coach, you won't give a look in at the home based players at all.

Maybe, maybe not. the best most play.

edi287:
Loool now I know you're just trolling. How old was he then?? Dele Alli had no interest or whatsoever in playing for Nigeria. John Fashanu tried. We reached out and he kept saying he wanted to play for England. Fashanu spoke about how he'd be a prince back in Nigeria and what not, it didn't work. Next you'll also say we didn't try hard for Ross Barkley as well because he said he was eligible to play for Nigeria and Scotland.

I gave Dele Alli away at 13 to save him from gangs and allow him to follow his football dream
EXCLUSIVE: Mother talks about the truth behind the England ace’s rise and her heartache at letting him go

10th January 2016, 12:01 am

NOW
ENGLAND star Dele Alli’s mum has spoken about the heartbreaking moment she
gave her son away so he could fulfil his dream of becoming a top footballer.

Denise Alli, 52, was battling against alcoholism and faced having her children
removed by Social Services.

So she handed Dele over to a couple who the footballer now calls his adoptive
parents.

Now mum-of-four Denise says every time she watches 19-year-old Spurs ace Dele
scoring for his club and country, she knows she made the right decision.

Fans have never before heard the truth about how Dele got to where he is
today.

Fighting back tears, Denise told The Sun on Sunday: “I had to let him go to
give him a better future.

“Emotionally, it was heartbreaking but it was the right thing to do.

“I had a serious drink problem triggered by my unhappy childhood.

“I was hooked on vodka, beer — anything — for a few years.

“Social Services visited me after complaints from my neighbours about how I
was raising my children but my kids were never taken away.

Promise . . . future star with football trophies

“It was my decision to let Dele live with another family.

“I knew that was the only way he could fulfil his dream of becoming a
professional footballer.

“It was tough to give up my son but it proved to be his salvation. I’m so
thankful for how things have turned out.”

Denise will be glued to the TV when Tottenham take on Leicester City at White
Hart Lane in the third round of the FA Cup today.

He signed for Spurs for £5million last February and got his first start for
England in November when the Three Lions took on France.

Dele was an immediate hit during the poignant game following the Paris terror
attacks and scored from outside the box to break the deadlock at Wembley.
England won 2-0.

His mum said: “When he scored the goal against France I leapt out of my seat —
I was so happy.

“My son has made it by himself. I am so pleased for him and super-proud of
everything he has achieved.”

Commentators have been stunned by Dele’s rapid rise through the ranks and
impressed by his composure on and off the pitch.

He is expected to be in the England squad for Euro 2016 this summer.

Last week, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino talked about the player after his
equaliser helped earn a 1-1 draw with Everton, saying he had “fantastic
maturity”.

Few expected Dele to make the first team when he started pre- season training
with Spurs.

But he wowed fans when he nut-megged Real Madrid star Luka Modric during a
game in August and scored the equaliser against Leicester City two weeks
into the season.

It helped him become a first-team regular and Spurs are set to double Dele’s
wages to £20,000 a week.

That could rise to £50,000 or more by next season to ward off interest from
Real Madrid and others.


That makes the £5million Tottenham paid MK Dons — Dele’s boyhood club — the
bargain of last season.

He came through the ranks at MK Dons after joining aged 11 and before that
played for local team City Colts.

Dele, who also showed promise as a talented rugby player, was born Bamidele
Jermaine Alli to Denise and Nigerian dad Kenny.

They married at Bletchley Register Office in Bucks just before his birth in
April 1996 but parted a week later. Businessman Kenny, 46, moved to Texas
where he now lives with new wife Lola.

Denise also raised son Lewis, 12, daughters Becky, 23, and Barbara, 26, who
all stayed with her.

She said: “Times were difficult — very tough. I had four children by four
different dads but none of the relationships lasted. I was a single mum. We
were living in Milton Keynes in a three-bedroom council house but it was a
bit rough.

“Me and Dele were always very close when he was younger. He was my little
cling-on. He’d always say, ‘Kiss me’. He loved football and started kicking
a ball around as soon as he could walk.

“I could see he had talent and I would take him to the park as much as I
could.

“He always wanted to be a footballer since he was a little boy and dreamed of
playing for Barcelona.”

At the age of five, Dele spent six months living with his dad in Nigeria
but the move did not work out and he returned to England.

As he grew up, his mum’s problems started to multiply and at same time he
began to get into trouble at school she was reported to Social Services.

Denise said: “It was only one visit and Social Services were just doing their
job. A handful of girls who had it in for me called the council — I don’t
know why. I always looked after my children.”

Yet by the time Dele was 13, Denise began to worry he was about to fall in
with gangs that were plaguing the Bradwell area of Milton Keynes where they
lived.

She agreed he could move six miles away to live with close pal and fellow
footballer Harry Hickford, now 20, and his parents, building company boss
Alan and his wife Sally.

While Denise insists he was never formally adopted, she let her son live
full-time with the Hickfords and their two children in the more affluent
area of Cosgrove.

Denise said: “All the kids Dele’s age were on the streets smoking, arguing and
robbing. Some ended up in prison. I was worried my son would be tempted by
that hood life.

“He was challenging at times, like most lads. He had to change secondary
school and never settled at his first school.

“The Hickfords weren’t my friends but they had a nice home and I knew I had to
give my son this chance to move on with his life and succeed.

“When he left, there were no tears, just a sense of relief because I knew he
would be off the streets and safe.

“Dele told me, ‘I’m fine Mum. Don’t worry about me.’ He hugged me.

“It was tough but he was happy and I was happy.

“Despite giving him away I have never been estranged from Dele.

“He would come back to my place for a sleepover about once every month. He is
also close to his biological dad.. Kenny is so proud of him.”

Denise is no longer in contact with her son’s adoptive mum Sally and has
yet to see him play in person.

The midfielder’s adoptive dad Alan runs Dele Alli Promotions, so stands to
make a fortune

Denise admitted: “Perhaps deep down I felt some resentment towards Sally for
bringing up my son.

“I’m still close to Dele. He’s helped me and his sisters financially and has
lots of love to give. He’s a great son.

“He’s probably given us £4,000 over the past year or so.

“I got £600 this Christmas and the three children £500 each. Last year he gave
me £200, the girls £80 each and his brother a TV and Xbox.

“He gave me £170 for Mother’s Day and helps me out with £50 here and there
towards bills. I’d never ask him for a penny. He just offers to sort us out.

“He never discusses his salary but I heard it was £25,000 a week. Good on him.”

Speaking from his Houston home, Kenny said: “We have always had a good
relationship and I’m his dad.

“I saw Dele during my trip to England last year and we often text and chat on
the phone. I’m very proud of my son.”

Sally Hickford said last night: “We are so proud of Dele and want to let him
enjoy his football.

“Dele lived with our family but, no, we never formally adopted him. We want to
keep everything private.”

@bolded needs some explanation. Kindly do the needful.

terzurum5:
So it's not about what he can offer but the league where he plays right?

Of course, it is about the league he plays. If you got nothing to offer you will play in Somalia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and so on.

No more double standard to bring in some players and block some players.

If he's good enough he should be in France.....

TheGoodJoe:

What you posted here does not show the true state of Dele Alli's mind. This your article is about when he was a small boy. The article edi287 posted was written in September. Yours January.

We are talking of a lad who refused to see his father repeatedly after his dad traveled from US to see him. I beg, stop painting bad good.

Dele Alli should change. These are his family members.

Why do you want me to help you explain simple thing? Why? Why?

Do you think everyone can be fooled?

He gave me an article to prove Dele Alli would not have wanted to play for Nigeria because the article dey talk about his recent relationship with his parent.


But I say no, because before dis recent news, Dele Alli was very close to his biological dad in the past.


In the PASS, he was proud of his parent. When in the past?

Just this January 2016 when he was still a superstar. Abi you no read say em dash em mama money?

Don't try to be mischievous, ok.


I repeat, if we showed loved earlier, he would had loved to play for Nigeria. But una want am when he became superstar.

NFF never approached. Did they?
