U all seem to forget Iwobi chose Nigeria at his prime not when he had lost form. Southgate even compained about it then but as usual we all seem to be suffering from complexity issues. As good as Ikoku was then for Wimbledon, he chose Nigeria and sat on our bench. So be grateful
Bros form is besides the point. He chose Nigeria at the point he got to a cross road in his international career, knowing fully well that if he played at the U23 level, he has to commit to the 3 Lions. If he was that patriotic why didn't he chose Nigeria in the age grade competition, those were even the times when his cousin's praise was still sung by many.
This has nothing to do with complexity, its more about being smart and putting 2 and 2 together.
If you know, Kindly furnish us with any player of Nigerian parents who has excelled with a European nation asides playing pointless friendlies.
Let's call a spade by its name, Iwobi deserves no praise for choosing Nigeria, he was only being clever by half and without him we would do just fine. Needless to say that the talent pool in Nigeria is deeper than that of England, so what are you going on about?

Is lingard a nigerian too?
if Iwobi were English,i doubt he would make the English squad due to players such as LINGARD and Alli. Since they place in just about the same position.

Iwobi knows he doesn't have a chance in Hell to make the England team.

Don't know why people can not be honest or just keep quiet.....

He should ask Andy Cole, Les Ferdinand, John Barnes, Darren Bent...Black guys who played so well but were only used for rare friendlies.

Darren Bent was the highest scoring English man in EPL but he was passed up for the World Cup for a then untested 18 year old Theo Walcott

Well... Walcott is a black too grin
you Somehow Wrong Tho,john Barnes Is A Star\legend In Liverpool,the Most Capped Black Player,before It Was Broken By Rio Ferdinand,he Had 80caps For England.

Do you actually rush to comment on every topic because you have something reasonable to say or because of likes. To me you sound unreasonable each time you post these shits you post here. So singing the national anthem is now the criteria for measuring one's love for his/her country abi? Then why are we in this mess we are in this country? Because our leaders know this anthem and sing it in every gathering. If it is not love for Nigeria but for easy shirt as you claimed, why didn't Tami Abraham do the same, Agbolaho nko? Because these guys knew they wouldn't be able to break into England squard but still they chose them over us. Not everyone is like you OK
Thanks for lashing back at this idiots..i was gonna go get a doctor for him to do a mental evaluation on him but you just saved my trip..Thanks.

I pity those who believe him.
So he loves Nigeria more yet he can sing the English anthem but not the Nigerian.
Who is deceiving who?

The truth is;
He couldn't get into the English Senior National team but getting a shirt in the Nigerian senior team even as a minor was a piece of cake courtesy of his uncle JayJay.

These folks should learn to say the truth.
.and you learn to shut your mouth and grow up

He choose not to make the same mistake the likes of Agbolanhor who was hoping to play for England but was never called, Tammy Abraham who was never called back after playing just one friendly match for England and also Sydney Sam who rejected Nigeria to play for Germany in a friendly match b4 2014 world cup and has never been called back to play for Germany.
