SportsRe: Ike Ugbo Dumps Super Eagles For Canada National Team by Timoleon(m): 12:21pm On Nov 05, 2021
Una just like to argue because body Dey catch una. Your initial post which I responded to said that playing for Canada will be bad for his career which was why I cited Davies and how playing for Canada has not slowed his career. You said because he is unknown unlike Davies but I pointed out that until you are known, you are unknown (didn’t even think this was arguable). Now you are talking of him not showing phenomenal exploits.
1, he doesn’t need phenomenal exploits to be a professional footballer, he need diligence, discipline and dedication.

2. The spaces in national teams are limited that includes England and includes Nigeria. Sometimes they have to forgo some talents because of this constraints. That being said, ugbo played for two England age grade teams in the midst of thousands of eligible options. He played for a Chelsea youth team that won the Uefa youth league back to back. Obviously there’s talent in there somewhere.
Like I however said earlier, his efforts and dedication to the game will define his career not his choice of national team. Au re voir.
Commentor:
Nothing like until you become known you are unknown.

Ugbo hasn't shown any phenomenal exploits. If he did, England would definitely have been hovering.


The point I'm making is that, a fear of competition conjoined with some allegiance to the nation where he has lived most of his life is what made him pick Canada.

It could not have been borne out of footballing reasons.

Until Davies became known, he was unknown. The point is, his efforts and dedication to the game will define his career not his choice of national team. George Weah was ballon d’or and world best player while turning out for a Liberia team that was not even qualifying for Afcon.
Commentor:
Alphonse Davis is an exceptional player.

Even if he played for Tonga, he would still be recognised.

Ugbo is relatively unknown.
SportsRe: Ike Ugbo Dumps Super Eagles For Canada National Team by Timoleon(m): 11:42am On Nov 05, 2021
Forget all these sentiments. Alphonse Davies is one of if not the very best left back in the business today. He plays for Canada even though he is originally from Ghana. Playing for Canada has had no negative effects on his career so far.
Commentor:
Canada is not better for his career.

For one they are not a footballing powerhouse not even in the North American context. As such, he would get no exposure playing for Canada.

Canada doesn't have a reputation for producing footballers, Nigeria does.

You gain insignificant direct monetary benefits playing for your nation, so he's not likely to make anything for National team.

The sad scenario would be if he doesn't even make the first team for Canada.

To be fair, it’s hard to make it if you grow up in Nigeria without age cheating especially if you are not coming from a wealthy family that can easily fly you out at a young age or put you in the best academies here with strong affiliations abroad.

That's why age cheating is not good.

Source please. No come Dey throw lies up and down. No be small pikin you Dey follow talk. She has dated the same person for over 35 years. He’s the only person to ever propose to her and she said yes. They set a date for 1993 but she never married. No Dey throw lies at me. I’m not that kinda person.
ChiefSosa:
I have no pity for him. Since he wants to be a fool, then let that woman treat him in the language he understands.
Idiots like him have been warned back to back to ALWAYS sign a prenup and keep his finances in order, but he simply refused to listen, because he's trying to please a woman. At the end, when he loses his assets, he'll start running around looking for help.
How can you work hard, day and night, to acquire all these luxury, then when God finally blesses you, you give everything to a woman in the name of marriage. Even a woman won't be that dumb to do such. She will only finesse/manipulate you, cause she knows you're rich, but DUMB! A rich and successful woman will ALWAYS request a prenup from a less successful husband. You think women like Oprah Winfrey, Folorunsho Alakija, etc wouldn't request prenups?
Wendy Williams didn't sign a prenup, and she regrets it till date simply cause she's losing money. For every money and assets she acquires, the man gets half.

Oprah Winfrey is like the Number 1 feminist, and she has refused to marry the man she's been dating for over 30 years. She knows if she marries and he divorces her, the man will become an instant billionaire.


Oprah has literally said she wants to get married and almost got married on her TV show.
She also requested a prenup and offered to pay $100M to her to-be husband, in case they marry and divorce. If she's not afraid of losing her Billions, why then did she offer $100 Million to the guy, even when they've not gotten married? Oprah is just being protective of her money and assets. She has billion-dollar worth of assets to lose if she decides to get married and it ends in divorce.
Forget all her forming, she doesn't want to get married simply because she is concerned about her finances. Period!

Oprah Winfrey won’t request a prenup...babe is happily unmarried and never planning to get married. Been dating the same person for over 30 years. She’s not interested in marriage or children. You are right though, this guy deserves no pity..
