You are being very idealistic here

Selection would entail accommodating and catering for them for a period of time, how do you make that plan for hundreds of FB academy kids scattered over Europe

On the issue of excellence, provision still have to be made for quota of foreign based or home based so as not to seem that the home based are punished for not being able to afford to go to academies

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.

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.

Humility017:
Just imagine even oga Joe have joined the legion of folks that wanna turn out cadet teams to charity organisation for less privileged kids...

I fear for some brothers here

forgiveness:
The boy is good. We should give him a chance.

tbaba1234:
Not all foreign based kids are good, we just have to try to get the best available.

Joebie:
Top Scorers in the Championship

tbaba1234:
Great news... Samson Tijani was the only fear. I doubt he will make the World cup if we make it.

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.

Don't stress yourself about Tammy..
another call up from England will earn him a few minute on the pitch and boom! he will be gone...


Thank God everybody saw that the NFF tried to get him.. otherwise the usual talk of emotive prejudice would have been flying around....

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.

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

Famocious:
Bro, your thought process must be phenomenon..

i think Tammy's biggest issue is his management team who seem not to realize that 9ja will give the lad a better platform to excel in international football.

harry Kane is England's undisputed numero uno in the striking position and the worst of it all is that he is still very young(24 yrs). Tammy even if given a chance in the team will always play second fiddle to almighty Kane.

another issue he needs to put into consideration is racial favoritism. Once a white English kid explodes in the epl with at least 15 epl goals in his first season i doubt Tammy's name will be ever penciled down for consideration by the English head coach.


With the super eagles he stands the chance to compete in tournaments and become a household name in world football.with more hard work and commitment he is blessed with the talent to spearhead the attack of the super eagles for many years. its high time his agent,parents and management team tells him the truth.

Earthquake2:
I don't think Abraham wants to play for Nigeria with una postulations

charlesemeka85:
and 9ja don't need him either. he needs the super eagles more than they need him. one thing i love about 9ja football wise is that talents are scattered everywhere and in every football season in europe 9ja must have a breakout starlet coming up. so good luck to tammy with his shoe polishing ambition to kane

OMANBALA1:
This is not true. Edo people, especially the Bini rarely speak the language. Even some born in the state.
As for the Igbo, it's pathetic. And this is coming from a G who is deep rooted in Igbo culture. I think the Biafran war has a lot to do with it.

Earthquake2:
Maybe he feels no connection with Nigeria, there are many things involved in declaring for a country

OMANBALA1:
O boy, African players dey suffer ooo. I feel for Olarewajun Kayode. After all the exploits the nigga did in Austria hommie is still struggling to find a decent club. If I say fix the league and pay tthese guys better it wont make much sense because the failure of our league is tied to the workings of the government.

charlesemeka85:
kayode's greatest mistake was choosing man city ahead of newcastle united who were ready to blood him into their team immediately. sometime i wonder the motives behind our players career decisions.

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.

gamaliel9:
I repeat we are going to have goal feast in this AFCON....6-0...5-1...7-0 at the group stage

Savvy?

jihday:
so if I live outside Nigeria and I have a 15yrs old son who plays football and really looking forward to playing for Nigeria, he comes to camp to try out with his mate but is told he can't simply because he was born outside the country, how do you think he will feel? if in two years time his country of birth extend an invitation to him do you think he'll think twice? even me the father won't be able to defend Nigeria at that point. abeg let's drop this 1972 thinking it won't get us anywhere
