My cousin Omeiza Akerele just turned 18 and has been representing Nigeria since 17 in athletics. You might want to ask me "why this information" ?

Omeiza I know is truly 18 years now and he is towering over me even at 16. I hear some people shouting allover that these boys are not under 17s for real. These days children are better off physically and mentally than those days children. so the 17 years old of those days cannot be compared to these days 17s.

This thread is opened for Nairalanders to help clear the notion that they are not truly 17yrs.
