The red-headed malimbe (Malimbus rubricollis) is a species of bird in the Ploceidae family. It is found in[i] Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, and Uganda.

hope you understand that the OP wasn't talking about the whole of the Malimbus bird but that of Malimbus ibadanensis. The bird is endemic to Ibadan and has certain features which diffentiates it from other Malimbus birds. Take for example, Manihot esculenta and UMUCASS 36 are both cassava varieties/species but one is endemic to Brazil while the other was 'produced' at Umudike

OP please note that the name Ibadan in the bird's name only shows where the bird was first discovered. Take for example, Havea brasilensis (rubber tree) can also be seen in Nigeria but was first discovered in Brazil.
But if the bird can only be found in Ibadan (which I perceive to be around 10% chance), scientists would have done what they did to Cercopithecus erythrogaster to the bird (dispatching a little of it to other areas with the same vegetative and climatic conditions to avoid instant extinction due to deforestation and other 'accidents').

Life is all about adding value to yourself

You make your arguments without facts...
First of all in the so called "America and Europe" that you stated, are very organized-the system works there...

the ministry/council for sports dedicates soccer academies to children with divisions for age categories, and mostly talents are discovered, documented and drafted to club junior academies, where these young talents are trained further and given career paths.

Now due to the relationship with sports and school in these countries, exceptional players are given scholarships in school, in a bid to encourage them to keep playing especially if they are already drafted to junior academies for big clubs... no matter the club, your payment does not begin until you graduate from the academy and become pro.

With this sort of pathway how can a child fake his age, was it not before our eyes we all saw Mbappe grow up, from that amazing 15yr old that played for France in the Fifa junior competition of 2015 to who he is now?

Now for Nigeria first of all the ministry of sports is messed up , no link to grass roots area's there is no set track for career development in Football , one just has to hussle in that sort of situation... tell me why won't a player change his age in a bid to remain relevant

Onuachu (the No. 10 against Seychelles) says he's 24 yrs old. He is a product of Ebedei academy. He doesn't look 24. Mikel Obi is a product of pepsi academy. We claim he isn't 31.
The 2 players I mentioned above are products of academies but 'we' don't agree to their age. Diego Costa, Alexis Sanchez and a few others are products of 'street' football. Now, the American media don't talk about their age but our media always dwell on the age rather than the ability of our players and that is where the problem lies.

Nigerians sha. We spend so much time commenting on our players' age rather than their qualities. The Americans and Europeans don't do this nonsense. For example, who talks about Walcott being older than Diego Costa, N'golo Kante, Paul Pogba, etc OR Mbappe being 19 for nearly 3 seasons

That girl na bad bello o. She no gree for you. Oya share your sister number, she no still gree.
Anyway, happy anniversary in advance
