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.
You didn't remind him of a certain John Fashanu who shunned Nigeria because he thought we would never qualify for world cup (Nigeria had never qualified for world cup by the way). He played all qualifiers for England only to be dumped after they qualified, he didn't make the world cup squad. Ironically Super Eagles qualified for the world cup for the first time in USA 94, and that squad remains the best of Nigeria to date, coming 4th in FIFA ranking.

John Fashanu later turned himself to an advocate advising all young Nigeria players in England to choose Nigeria over England.

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?
Lookman hasnt escaped anything, even though england fans are supporters can go overboard by racially abusing black skin footballers, but what how do you explain cases of Nigerian footballer fans who abuse and insult our footballers when they perform below their high expectation, some are threatened with death while they want others blacklisted.Was Iwobi not insulted at the last Afcon, why did Victor moses call it quit at the national team? isnt it because of the insult and abuse he got from supporters. Yakubu Ayegbeni was once a fan favorite with SE but everything went south once he missed a chance at world,he was threaten with death and all sort of mayhem. If you think English football supporters are bad,i can tell you for free Nigerian supporters are worse. Lookman is just a bad game away from getting barrage of insults from them.

All this your explanation na waste of time. The person you're replying to is from the evil forest. They're petty traders. Nothing matters to them than naira and kobo. You should understand why he doesn't have enough braincells to decipher that money is not the only thing that matters in this world. His region is poor and barren, so understand his mentality.

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 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?
You spoiled everything you wrote via bigotry and tribalism. Evil that led us to this mess we found ourselves did not start 2015 nor 2000. The rottiness was gradual and unfortunately progressive. We need to change our attitude towards money, Tinibu won in Imo state, please who manipulated the system? Yet he lost in UI in Ibadan. Our problem lies in tribalism, bigotry, greed, favouritism etc. all these menace are same across tribes and tongue in 9ja

Bro stop lying to try and desperately prove a point. Harry Kane did not miss any penalty in that match VS Italy in which Rashford and Saka were bully because they missed a penalty

It’s the same bigotry that you are preaching against that you are posting here. People like you either lack knowledge of history or bigotry made you to neglect looking at history at all. We didn’t just get to this point in one day. Things have been getting worse and worse for years so don’t put all your blames on the present leadership. Go and read Bade Onimode, Claude Ake, Walter Rodney and Joan Galtung to get the sense of history. Those of us who went to the universities in the early 80s knew how bad things were even then.

Truth be told, he is like old wine, he took time to mature........ 😂🍷🤣
Three lions destroyed the careers of Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, etc. If these guys had represented Nigeria, they would be international stars and maybe even contender for awards. Not everyone can survive with the three lions. It is very important to choose wisely.

England did not destroy the career of the players you. England draft plsyers into their national team set up based on performamce of players at club. These players are erratic and inconsistent at best at club level. England is blessed with quality, and as a player you dont rest on your laurel,else you are out of their team sheet. What has help saka cement a place in their national team set up is his tenacity and the fact that he improve his game year in year out.
If it work for lookman doesnt mean it will work for all others as well, the likes of Shola Ameobi, sammy ameobi, victor moses, victor anichebe chose to play for nigeria and it didnt take their career to any height.
