Ola Aina- The Best Decision I Have Taken Is Picking Nigeria Ahead Of England
Fulham defender Ola Aina says his decision to play for Nigeria is the best thing he has done in his career after helping Nigeria qualify for another Africa Cup of Nations.

Aina started the 1-0 win over Benin Republic on Saturday but was substituted with Chidozie Awaziem before Paul Onuachu scored what ended as the winner in the third and final minute of time added on.

Nigeria have already secured top spot of and qualification for the AFCON even before the game on Saturday making it almost a possibility for Aina to play in another Africa Cup of Nations. His first was the 2019 edition.

“ I can’t wait to play in another major tournament with the Super Eagles and bring joy to Nigerians. The national team means so much to the people here”, he said after this evening training in Lagos ahead of tomorrow’s dead rubber tie against Lesotho.

He was asked if he thinks his decision to settle for Nigeria after representing England at several youth levels has paid off, the defender who is on loan to Fulham from Torino said it is for now the best decision of his career.

“ No regrets or whatsoever. It is for now one of the best decisions I have taken in my career. In several ways playing for Nigeria has made me a better player”, he concluded.

I wish Noni Madueke of PSV and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze can have the rethink on their decisions to star for the 3 lions and play for the eagles.

The only Nigerian player best served playing for a European country is David Alaba. He is even the captain of the Austrian National team

Very Funny!
Who is Ola trying to deceive? No space for you in the English national team, not even a bench can be reserved for you in their 3rd reserved team.

Nigeria picked you and we are glad that you're grateful.












bampeh is right

I'm happy for him. Who Nigeria help?

Agbolahor plays I think only one game for the English national team and collecting mad benefits after retiring. They're paying him in thousands.

I ask again, who Nigeria help?

Leave Naija matter abeg... Focus on helping keep your club from a looming relegation. That would be the real achievement.

Who you wan bench for England?
Not making England's team is still better than choosing Nigeria. I'm happy for him.

At least when he retires from national duty they'll not be paying him N5,000

Or doing advert for bet companies

Or protesting to get his benefits

Or dying and FG paying his mama N11,000 annually.
