You are so much on point....This is where the brains are beat into techniques and tactics...psychological maturity is built....bones mature...legs that last in high tempo for 120 minutes are formed...this is selection ground for national team...

We have five stars in u17...it would have been a different ball game for u20/21...we would have had a assemblage of talent...

daveP:
All over this Window of friendlies, I see the Europeans serious with their u20s and u21 in very serious friendlies with American teams and I wonder what is happening to Africa. Not even Nigeria can just get serious for once and do something to ball with these guys before we start hearing the next Messi and Ronaldo from these teams? Nawa o.

Uchebo?

Nigeria’s topflight football league is again ready to receive a Nigerian international who plied his trade offshore. The ongoing transfer window has seen interest from Super Eagles 2014 World Cup star Michael Uchebo who is currently linked with a potential move to Aiteo Cup title holders, Rangers Int’l FC just a few days after Juwon Oshaniwa penned a deal with Akwa United ahead of the start of 2018/2019 season.
According to reports, Uchebo is believed to have agreed personal terms with Rangers Int’l with an announcement due in the days to come.
The 28-year old forward struggled to keep his career afloat since moving to Europe with the recent problem he had with Portuguese side Boavista, where he was ostracized from the team and wasn’t paid for months, having joined the Club back in 2014 from Belgian club Cercle Brugge before his release in June 2017.
Uchebo has featured for Nigeria at the Under-20 and Under-23 levels before being handed a call-up by late Stephen Keshi for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The NPFL’s attraction to Nigerians abroad might be a glimmer of hope for the league as the players would bring a level of international experience to their prospective clubs.

My people perish for lack of knowledge.

"Judas" is actually the same name as "Judah". They both mean " Praise ". So if you can name your son " Praise", you can as well name him "Judas".

That the betrayer of Jesus happened to be named " Judas" doesn't make the name bad. There have been other people named Judas who achieved great sucess and lived lives of righteousness. An example is the Jewish hero Judas Maccabeus who led the revolt against the pagan Greek Emperor Antiochus. (forgive the history lesson).

I've seen people named "Blessing" die in poverty, people named "Wisdom" do very stupid things....the list is endless. At the end of the day what matters is our hardwork, talent and maybe a bit of luck. Our names are just names. Nothing more. Like Shakespeare said "a rose, called by any other name, will still smell as sweet".

Some Yorubas bears these kind of name.. Those returning from slavery... During colonial era... But they will definitely put their Yoruba name beside those english names

Curtisaxel7:
Lol. Superstition plays a large role in the naming of people in Africa. Some even go as far as changing their native names deemed to be "satanic" to foreign names that they don't even know the meanings of. .

I know someone who changed her name from "Nnennaya" meaning "her father's mother" (a reflection of the Igbo traditional belief in reincarnation) to Cecelia. Imagine her shock then, when I told her that "Cecelia" means "the blind one" .

Abeg, pikin dey go make am go make am, the one wey go useless go useless. If you like name am "Christ Jesus".

Nonsense and superstition. .

It's does not mean that.

Please indulge me open up your mind read the journal the links there. And your view faced with scientific substantive research will probably change.

The American scientific journal has been around for near 150 years with contributors such as Einstein. So it quite reputable. There are many other journal with published research on the subject.

Lol dey gave me Calistus at birth as a core Catholic family, my grandfather went berserk, dem change am to Sistus the man no still gree until dem settle with the Biblical name wey I dey bear now.

Na Imo people especially Obowo dey bear diz names like mad, and statistics has it dat almost every family there has a Catholic priest (Reverend father)

ChrisKels:
But wetin dey prompt all this kind yeye names nah

Don't think it's a matter to thank God.

Like has been said multiple times here. The MRI scan is indicative not conclusive.

Abuchi Obinwa born in the USA failed a NFF administered MRI scan when he was 16 round about the same period Success would have had his own test . The NFF failed or rather refused to submit the test results for independent inspection. Why ❓ anybodies guess.

The test is flawed by the baseline data used to make deductions. An excerpt from the Scientific American journal which is high standing academic journal highlights the problem.


Meanwhile, subsequent work also throws more cold water on the science of these wrist scans: One study on 86 young male Ghanaian players concluded, “There was no significant correlation between the chronological age and the degree of fusion.”


https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dear-fifa-there-is-no-scientific-test-to-prevent-age-fraud/

However, the reality is that the alternatives are not in themselves practical and or viable. It's essentially the most cost effective and efficient system we have for now. Just be aware it's not conclusive but indicative so it can be beaten.

The final word, without AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE there will be age cheating. From Brazil, Peru, Africa, Asia, etc, etc
