Those thighs were forged for surviving Nigeria, and they are age-invariant!

I was already built like this at 15, so it is possible.

He seems to be the one I like most among most Nigerian players. Odemwinge too is sharp

Looking at their physical appearance, Oshiomole and Osinbajo can pass for age mates. But Oshiomole is older than grey haired Prof but is the agemate with Tinubu.
Do your maths.

Go and find something better to do with your time. You're comparing an athlete to a musician and looking for problems. Erling Haaland is 43 years old because Ibrahimovich looks like him and they have the same height undecided

This was how you people destroyed the career of Obafemi Martins when he was 19 just because you suspect he cheated angry

God need to tell the devil to start expanding hell fire. The people coming there will be much more than planned capacity.

I don't believe that the guy in the picture is 15 years old.

That is not a 15 years old

The face looks very much like that of a teenager. Athletes have muscular thighs. My son is 14, not an athlete and he has muscular legs and thighs how much more a professional athlete

Come on, don't tell us you've never met an under 18 who looks like above 25?

We've met them many times and as experienced as I claim to be, I most times miss it all especially when the females are involved.

One time, I was already asking one fine babe out, got to know her through a female friend until she mentioned sitting for waec (waec o, not jamb) I shock with suspicions and asked her age and the girl say she's just 16 and would soon be 17. I off... But was skeptical until my female friend confirmed it.

Na so life be. Some werey get baby face and some go first age more than their age an will remain that way for long before the aging continue. That was how Chidinma is. Been long I saw her now... SMH

Age falsificiation has probably dogged almost all his years playing overseas.

It is a recurring decimal. Even the Oyinbos have always had their doubts.

Una body no be the same na...

That's what I was trying to pass across. Like yours truly, if you see some of my friends, they're annoyingly younger than me... angry

Although I still have those who looks older but as one man once said on here, the body will still know it's age, the rest is simply aesthetic. Mortal human wey I be, how I go use dey comfy with that even if I know for a fact say there's truth in his words. cheesy
Re: This Is Obafemi Martins When He Wás Just A 15 Year Old (photo) by brain54(m):
Some times people look older than their age...

If people can look younger than their age then why not older?

Obafemi's case was special though. Most of the clubs he played for doubted his age actually.

He was a good player though...his pace was one of his strengths as a player. He is one of the fastest players in football history till date.

But controversies about his age contributed to reasons his career was short.


MRI is now used to estimate age of players!
