Meet Nigeria veteran star when he just won the U-17 World cup as a 16 year old

This guy looks Older than me even when he was 17 and I am 36 now. Hmmn.

That is why our under 17 players do not last compared to Europeans

Even Nas( greatest lyricist of all time and greatest MC ever) at 50+ looks younger than him

Dis dude no be 17 yrs abeg... Make we no lie give ourselves... D mistake we made then was not immediately transferring the so called under 17 and under 20 to the super eagles... By d time we transfer the under 17 players to super eagles most of the go Don be 35 yrs already....

I jst checked dis dude age now and he is 34 yrs...

If at under 17 level you were able to beat young kroos, Messi, fabregas, benzema, pogba etc then you should be able to beat them at senior level as well...but na lie u can't cheat nature as u don 40 already....

I don't blame them Sha before u can break through from Nigeria in sports omo u go suffer oh..... Many talents dey but no help... Before opportunity go come like 10 yrs Don pass.... God abeg oh

what of the likes of chukwudi fortune, Stanley okoro, ahmed musa and Monday James, how I go old pass Ahmed musa never it is not even possible

As long as FIFA approved him to play. I see no questioning his age has being not legitimate. It used to be called 'Football age'.

This guy that year.
He was the captain of Yemi Tella's team that won under17 world championship.
Most of the players in that tournament didn't live up to expectation.
The likes of Chrisantus Macaulay, Luckman Haruna and Rabiu Ibrahim got a nod to play for the super eagle but dem flop.
That's why I respect Mikel Obi and Victor Osimhen because na only dem try after doing well at the youth level of Nigeria national team

I still don't understand the point of putting this in FP

Where is he now?

Yes very arrogant, in my own pidgin parlance "na shakara kill him football career"

No wonder he did not last long and expired so quickly.

These were the last set of Golden Eaglets before the advent of MRI bone scan.

Remember watching them against Haiti in one of their group matches,it was men against little Kids.

Being fellow Blacks,the age discrepancy was glaring..

Some of the Haitian players looked 12 years old and there was their Nigeria ancient of days counterparts.

The likes of Chrisantus Marculy,Oseni and this big bros were taking those kids for a ride..

Even now MRI scan still can't detect true age though it somehow reduces them to the barest minimum
