That one will be regretting by now.
His own is even better. There's the other scapegoat called Tammy Abraham.



Saka will see more shege than Harry Kane. Make we just dey look.
Why the hate bro, the fact that England didnt rate him made him switch nationality to Nigeria. If England came calling for him, he wont think twice to play for the three lions. Saka is talented and hardworking and he is highly rated in british camp.

What is hate? I said the fact, you're calling it hate. I'm not responsible for your persecution complex.

Saka and Rashford were blamed for England's loss in Euro 2020 finals. Harry Kane who lost a penalty wasn't blamed, instead they focused on the black players. Those are the ingrates you want Lookman to represent.

England threw tantrums when Lookman switched to Nigeria. They wanted to useless him and spit him out like Tammy Abraham but he was smarter than them. Today, mention a striker in the English team better than Lookman.

Trophies and Glory.

Let me tell you, Saka as a black man in England will always be just another nigga.
Remember Saka and Rashford during the Euro finals that England lost. Kane also lost a penalty but they blamed the black players. Called them all sorts.
No trophy, no respect. Just another slave hustling for the King.
That's what Lookman escaped. He's currently the King of African football. Who is Saka?
Just because it favoured Lookman does not mean it will favour another person. Just like politics, it is all about calculations. Sometimes, it favours you, sometimes, it goes the other way. If I were a footballer, my primary concern would be money, trophies and the rest become secondary. It is all about priority. And to answer your question, Saka is a man who has secured the future of his unborn generation. If I have that privilege, I would worry less about what people think about me

You have a point tho. Pursuit of survival.

Fortunately, some people want more in life than just to survive. While some want greater things to dominate and make history, others just want to secure their next meal. To each his own. May they all find happiness.

Saka will struggle with Arsenal and England teams until he grows old without nothing to show for his great talent.
Just as your children and their children will struggle without anything to show for it...

This one is the child of a pauper, generational poverty has made you unable to think beyond the next meal. Glory, Trophies, Honor and History mean nothing to you. All you think about is the next meal.

You don't deserve a response from me. You're beneath me.

Even though racism is prevalent in european countries, most of the black footballers still always see it as a dream to don their national team jersey.Lookman is not an exemption, he represented england at various age grade competition and his dream was to play for England at national team level.This prompted him to reject Nigeria at three different times when Nigeria came calling for. Fortunately for us, southgate didnt rate him well and he wasnt playing at the level he is playing now,he could have as well end up as an English player.
One more thing bro, we all know lookman is good but please slow down the hype, he is not same bracket with harry kane who is in the england set up.

poor people, everything about you people just revolve around money. If everything is about money people won't be striving to break records and setting records. You think Christiano Ronaldo is still playing for Portugal national team because of money?

'In less than two years, the Atalanta forward has gone from being a so-called Premier League flop, to being named Africa's best player.'



Like the greatest lyricist of the last millennium, Nas, spit in his hook....


Left 'em speechless (speechless)
Just like when the judge read the sentence
Threw your life away in minutes
Left 'em speechless (speechless)
The bounce back is the greatest feeling
When they thought that you was finished
Leave 'em speechless (speechless, speechless, speechless)

'They will be like Harry Kane scored 600 goals in his career but won no trophy'


And the reply will be screams of ' its a lie!!!

Nigeria is a big name, to which success is attached. Our problem is leadership cum bigotry. Once we can commonly fight and overcome this, we'll reclaim our giants position in Africa and be envied by other countries. I remember Chidinma adetshina too. There was a time India was envying Nigeria. To get Nigerian visa by India in the 70s- early 90s was very difficult. India once recorded the highest Nigeria's visa refusal rate among other nations of the world.They'd come and bring their entire family. They schooled in our public secondary schools and universities.

Our leaders are not our problem. Rather they are symptoms of greater issues. The first problem is Nigerians have short-term memory which makes them never to learn from their mistakes. Second, the people use emotions to make most decisions instead of using logic, third, the people believe more in instant gratification.

Our IGR was fat and people were gainfully employed. Parents would do contributions to send their children to school cos education was lucrative. Sadly, the present generation who are defending the likes of Tinubu who damaged everything met nothing on ground. We still benefited partially from our sound education sector back then.

Today, no India wants to come. We're even the ones begging them to come and invest. They've taken their business elsewhere on same african continent to invest and India is fast becoming a developed nation despite their teeming population.

Their fruit market in ilupeju, Lagos is now a ghost town. Bad leaders have ruined our nation yet, some people are praising them out of bigotry. Buhari did his own and the north stood by him. It's now Tinubu's turn, instead of us to criticise his anti people policies, we're supporting him despite suffering and smiling. Are we also as unintelligent and illiterate as the north? I think they say we're more intelligent and can criticise bad governance. Why are we keeping quiet?

Kane is a goal poacher.

Lookman does everything.


Also, note that Tottenham as a team create more chances for scoring( by far) than Atalanta.


If Harry Kane played in Atalanta, he would not have been able to score as many goals as he did in Tottenham.
Re: England-Born Ademola Lookman Credits Nigeria Switch For Success by jaxxy(m):
offcourse identifing with Nigeria can be rewarding and carries its grace but our useless government and leaders draws us backwards.

it is the sheer determination of the Nigerian spirit that has made many Nigerians excel.
