This question just came to my mind because i just read on nairaland that messi grandma discovered his talent

So is it Possible that a Nigerian footballer in the street is better than Messi but no connection to discovery

Damnnn niggar
Men full street sha

Yes connection will go a long way, but you need to put into account the devotion and character of the "would be " Messi. Messi put his heart and soul in the pitch each time. It's not really about finding the next messi. To me, I'd say that's not even far fetched. Most Nigerian players are just so comfortable with the way they play once they reach Europe. The motivation to be better than the level of football that brought them to Europe in the first place is got extinguished once they're signed to an European club. That's why we have mediocre footballers in our national teams. No drive to be better than what we hail them for.

Save for osimehen that's really working hard to better himself, all others are bunch of mediocre, couple with attitude problem. Also the urge to show off, as if they play football only for the paychecks. Its really annoying. Look at chukwueze, and ask yourself an honest question, if his game has improved. He's still stuck in the hype of his breakout performance in villareal. Nigerian players need to do more for themselves !

I saw one in Calabar! They called him little messi

that's the delusion most nigerian fans live in...I remember guardiola telling gbenga okwunorwo to find any Messi or xavi or iniesta in Nigeria then get back to him...that was when gbenga went to him to tell him he wants to be bring players to man city...up till today gbenga has not called guardiola again...

look professional football is not Sunday Sunday football...if you are a good young player under 16 years go to an academy and show yourself...Messi no dey this country...a talent like messi,can never be hidden...carry both go academy,if you are above 18..go open trial for clubs...no coach or agent go see Messi tracts for a young player..then he will let you go..when he knows he can make millions from you when you are sold abroad....we just dey deceive ourselves...we get talent...we get Messi everywhere...abeg our foreign based..which club they dey play?... NIGERIA has not even won the caf player of the year in over 23 years...where the talent?..abi na inside your room you dey show your talent...

If Messi was born in Nigeria, he probably would have ended up as an average player.
We lack well-equipped football academies to groom potential talents.
