It's very hard for him to get a chance because the other guy keeps scoring. A player with 23 goals and 11 assists in 33 matches is hard to drop for Kayode. I am even suprised he started today.

Famocious:
Lolz..

Tammy Abraham has put up naija flag on his Instagram page, our flag even comes before the English's.

He may jump at our invite if Rohr extend one to him

Humility017:
He is not a Ghanaian...
nigeria blooded folks with dual nationality abroad are of the most patriotic Africans you can find....

he can be lured....especially if his skin color is black.... should Aigbogun visit him and talk things out with him...I am so sure he will switch
but the lazy coach won't do that....

forgiveness:
Kayode Olanrewaju with a goal for Sharktar Donetsk His first start of the season as a CF and first goal of the season.

So it has reached the stage where Nigeria are inviting FB players even for the U-15 tournaments? What next? We should invite those in the wombs as well

My people, we have definitely lost our way. Let I had said, we should let all these FB cadet players stay where they are based and develop their games. We've got enough talent here at home to build a solid U-15, U-17, and even U-21 teams.

This is the prejudice that baffles me.

You, sir make the negative demarcation which is exactly the same sentiments which TRIBALISM is anchored upon. In my opinion you have lost your way.

Your place of birth is not what defines you.

What you are saying effectively is that Nigerians born outside of Nigeria are simply LESS NIGERIAN. That's TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

This is the same bigoted and prejudiced sentiment that made people in Lagos to come against other Nigerian who some are third generation born in Lagos to being excluded from political office in Lagos state claiming that they are not indigenous to Lagos state.

This is so RETROGRESSIVE and the very kind iof negative counter productive mentality that has stifled development and enthroned mediocrity and birthed our FANTASTIC CORRUPTION in our beloved country Nigeria.

Your sentiment would have excluded Obama an African by parentage from becoming President of the USA.

Because l was born.in the UK I am according to you less Nigerian.

I disagree with you completely without restraint and apology.

Thank you, my dear. Some folks here may not wanna hear it but I will keep saying it: foreign born 15 and 17 year old kids should be left alone to develop their games in their birth countries. We have dozens of academies and thousands of high schools in Nigeria with gluts of football talents waiting to be discovered. How do we encourage and develop our local born talents if we have to run overseas to pick every tom, dick, and harry? How do you know that the 15 year old you're inviting from America is better than the 15 year old in a local high school somewhere in Surulere

Bottom line, the U15s and the U17s kids should rep the countries of their residence. Once they show us that they are good enough then we can invite them for the U20s and U23s.

Joebie:
Cant we as well complain about the other boys that didn’t make the cut for the same reason?
If Omidiji had made the cut will u have said a word in defense of the others?

TheGoodJoe:
It is not about less Nigerian but giving underprivileged Nigerians the chance to grow. The foreign borns have things the home based kids can not dream off. Some of them are very gifted but have never warn a shin guard before.

The U17 is a window of opportunity to give these underprivileged kids a chance to change their lives. Then we take kids in some of the best academies who have it all to take away the opportunity of these kids.

I stand with the U17 and U15 being used for grassroot development in Nigeria.

Finito.

Omidiji is a known young prospect all over the world. A proven prospect for that matter. You can only speak for something you know and we are know him.

You are writing off his competition here. Did u personally monitor them in camp?

I will give proven players from abroad all my support until they are called up. If they don’t make the grade in camp, I won’t cry foul, unless it’s a known biased coach in charge.

Joebie:
Currently he would be down the pecking order. Only he can fix his Nigerian PR Nightmare. He will have a better case when he moves to the EPL and performs there. Then, he can turn down England and say he really wants to play for Nigeria

Your English media

I won't be surprised if you are among them

forgiveness:
Overaction dey worry you.

ChrisKels:
This is nothing but a bait to once again get the attention of the English national team handlers. We cant fall for this cheap trick the second time.

Earthquake2:
There are more than 100 academy kids of Nigerian heritage in England alone

There is no way we can accommodate them bearing in mind we have our own youth kids too

ChrisKels:
Most patriotic are Edo people. A typical Edo man never fails to teach his wards about his Edo Origin, the language, the history of the Benin kingdom, what it takes to be a Benin man(ethics and norms), the obas and most importantly Osalobua. Whenever a player of dual nationality pops up, I first of all, check his origin, if it was Edo, I always have this strong conviction that the player would turn out for the GWG. Same cant be said of their Igbo and Yoruba counterparts who always try to be more Western than the westerners demselves

Bookmark this post, Uduokhai will soon thread Same path as other Edo guys like Osaze, Vicmo, Ebuehi et al.

About Gozie (Gozzi) Iweru, I do hope we get him sha. Another guy from Italy we should go for is Caleb Okoli of Atalanta.

Did you personally monitor the players too to have believed the coach wasn't bias?

Atleast, the world has seen Omidiji and they know he is good.

News from Tanzania says all our 21 Golden Eaglets players passed the Final MRI tests today before tournament kick-off tomorrow. That's a good one.

U suppose know say l know Amaju from when he deh run local runs 4 Warri Wolves oh.

Whaaaaten dem deh talk for paper and wheaten dem talk na two different matter oh.

Na Amaju spoil ground go open Banga soup before d ting don. Na England come rush quench the fire.

Joebie:
You can as well stretch it to U20, U23 and SE. there lots of underprivileged people in Nigeria .

What we actually need is grassroots development and a developmental league not what u are suggesting. Even clubs from Europe will come to our leagues and pick young players.

komekn:
The issue not accommodation.

But the selection of the best on MERIT not nepotism and or favoritism. Very simple excellence wins.

The best players wherever you are coming from.

TheGoodJoe:
So you think Osimhen and Kelechi Nwakali would have been better off waiting for a developmental league? That one is far for now. What is at hands is the U17.

The U20 and others can bring in all Nigerians, home and foreign but the U17 should be for grassroot development.
