Osihmen does not have dual citizenship and therefore could not have been presented with the same opportunity (he would do the sane if he has the opportunity and you will do the same)

Btw you can share your opinion in a more civil way if you must, you dont just quote people u dont know accusing them of saying rubbish
why denigrate ur country online u can hate ur leaders not your country ok... Did Messi not have dual citizenship when he chose Argentina?? Drogba had dual citizenship too but chose Ivory coast... Nigeria has enough talents to worry about pple like folarin who isn't better than what we have...

Re: Folarin Balogun Chooses USA Over Nigeria And England. by optimusprime2(m): 8:51am On May 19, 2023
Good choice!
Why?
Because the Nigerian Super Eagles team is very star studded at the moment... so star studded that even a player like Gift Orban with all his heat, is on the bench. The competition in the SE team is just too high currently, infact I don't even recommend the SE team for Balogun.

The English National team has the same case, Tammy Abraham till today can not even sniff the bench. The competition is just very high... so high that even if Haaland was English (of which he is by birth), he would struggle for the number 9 shirt on a regular.

Only the US national team can give him a break to debut easily since the competitionis not that high, because at the moment with Nigeria and England... he has to earn the right to play & with the current crop of young players who are all within his age bracket and all hungry to play... e no go easy.

Pathetic unpatriotic boy, always flowing in the direction of money gains.
No sense of patriotism, devotion or support for Nigeria.

Always after the money.

Why are you blaming the poor lad.
What took his parents out of Nigeria in the first place if they were not diplomats. Is it not for a better life. And a better life which the boy wishes to extend to his seed.

We who remain here to cheer our leaders who leave us in penury while living off our backs have no moral right to criticize others who just cannot tolerate this abberation.

Yes football is a short career so always go where the money is. Besides, this guy was only born to Nigerian parents but he may not know anything about Nigeria. And again, football or any other sport is firstly about money.

Dreams die in Nigeria. Stop lying to yourself. There is no reason to choose nigeria over america or england. Nigeria can't even qualify for world cup or win africa cup of nations.
