But you are there, thinking that those wey dey away from your country dey see better food chop.

I hope you are not thinking of inviting him to the Super Eagles. He is not good enough now to displace anyone. Do not kill his career. Tella of Leverkusen, for example, should have known. I doubt if he'll ever be invited again.

So if Aston villa no use am we no go recognize am bah?

Why always mothers in the affairs of their sons? Where are the fathers?

When there's problem in the marriage....the government always award custody to the mothers and the mothers always deny access of those kids to their fathers ...then they brainwash the children to make the father's ook bad so that they can benefit from the children when they grow

Orlandoo:

Women like to hug the limelight.

Many men are there for their sons and daughters but don't want to be seen.

Reference:
Naso. Before Chukwueze shows him his hard cover ledger where all the NFF gbese is listed....

Before una start owing him.

NaijaGoBetter2:
Yes, if he so wishes to play for us.

Although eligible to play for both,Why would he opt to play for England /Nigeria? To replace who exactly? Bellingham 1 or 2,Rice, Anderson, Henderson Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyemachi etc? Sb tell him to forget about playing for any country for now, enjoy your fledgling career, if you are good enough the coach will reach out.

That's truly impressive! He looks so youthful and lively.

Jamal speaks what his mom did .. the woman was atop his voice when she sighted her child coming in and Boom eventually, Jamal scores .. everywhere filled with excitement..

Congratulations to him!

When his club form picks up he'll be re-invited. Being called up to the NT doesn't kill your career, if anything, it elevates your profile.

Tella's case is one of having never truly established himself at Bayer. At best, he was a super-sub or rotational player you'd start in the Pokal or against weaker clubs in the league.

Some players rotate in and out of the NT.

He was born in Birmingham. So its IMPOSSIBLE to fake his age.

My sons at teens are already taller than me. All over 6 feet.

Biko I need to see his mummy's reaction. I remember how she lost it when he made his pro debut against Arsenal couple of weeks ago.

The match was played in Aston villa's stadium and not in Salzburg Austria.

We also had one Gabriel Agbolahor a British Nigerian (Benin, Edo) back then In the good old days

How much benefit did they generate for Nigeria as opposed to Britain then host country

I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.

The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.

He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world

Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.

Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.

With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.

When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.

The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.

Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest
I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.

Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?

Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?

That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’

Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.

Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!

This is not about being a Killjoy
Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.

His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.

Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.

Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.

Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?

The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.

While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.

For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.

I’d imagine we do not aspire to be Somalia.

He was born in Birmingham, UK, and that is his actual age. He was not born in Nigeria, but rather at a place where births are registered as soon as a child is born.

His father is the guy engine room. I av been following d father on Tiktok for years now.

He played a major role ✅

Orlandoo:

You know fathers most times don't like being in the spotlight unlike mothers who like attention.


A wise child is suppose to know this and reward his/her father in whatever way comfortable with him instead of neglecting him and turning all attention to the mother.

Orlandoo:
Why are mothers always mothers in the affairs of their sons? Where are the fathers?

Bro. It's spiritual, this is traced to the period of pregnancy & after birth. The bonding between the mother and the child is both spiritual and physical which the fathers don't experience. It's a mystery, we just need to live with this reality. It is well with the fathers.

Another fine Yoruba baller!

He’s still young and time will tell if he’ll be capable of displaying or replacing any of those you mentioned. Even Portugal and Argentina are looking for Messi cum Ronaldo
