TheGoodJoe:
Sorry komekn.

Billing is not even Nigerian in any way. Only his father is Nigerian.

All these untrained children their fathers did not konk their head when they were growing up.

komekn:


Unfortunately, despite all our church going and hallelujah screaming we love the Lord, very few African families are prepared to prsent themselves as foster parents. As a consequence there is HUGE shortage of black foster families.

So most children will end up with white foster families and loose their identity and a whole range of other issues that follow on from that.

He is just one of the few by Gods grace not the input of man that didn't get all messed up

Joebie:
Lack of substance

safarigirl:



The matter tire pesin, some things your pikin go talk, you no go fit show face for village meeting again.

Anyway, maybe his father is one of those that have dissociated themselves from Nigeria, so, there won't even be an avenue for shame to catch them.

komekn:


I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG HERE, HE HAS BEEN TRANSPARENTLY CLEAR AND EXACT.

The problem here is socio-cultural dynamics, language mannerisms and perception.

You are TOTALLY AFRO-CENTRIC and as a consequence read things from that perspective.

On the other hand I have both an Afro-centric appreciation as well as a Euro-centric appreciation and find no fault what so ever seeing things from a euro-centric perspective, which is what Billings is EUROPEAN.

That's why i describe myself as Born in the UK but Made in Warri, even when i come to the East you will think i am Ibo that is how well i blend.

You are getting it all WRONG so many of you.

safarigirl:



Is Iwobi now a local born?

Osimhen that was being invited to clap hands, they even dropped him for World Cup.

Maybe if Eze was eligible to play for Nigeria, his one invite could have also come in form of an actual game, but papers and allegiance matter did not make it possible.

Considering how long it takes for a player to switch, it is funny you would compare the local player getting an invite to the international one.

When Ekong was suffering under Oliseh, did he opt out of playing for Nigeria because of that? See Dessers that was looking for Nigeria left and right, even when Rohr said he will not invite a player that plays in a lowly league, did Dessers decide to damn it all and wait for Belgium? Did he not rush to find a better league and position himself for the opportunity?

See ehn, Komekn, find another talk. When you want something, you don't sit by and wait for it to come to you. No be that your excuse we go dey talk if Eze no play for us.

elunico:


Joebie, I ain't know man, but you just got kicked right here.

TheGoodJoe:


Which one is afro-centric again? This one is not about sentiments but having a sense of politeness.

chrisooblog:
true his passion has won me over. I also like his straight forwardness not using us to catch trips or boost his career. He genuinely wants to rep the green white green. I think this should be a lesson to all our Scouts as much as we can reach out to players don't waste time with people who are obviously not interested.

junnyjake:


Oh, there's some justification for the childish act.

Tripping you say? We should receive all denigrating remarks made against representing us with a smile on our face, then go on to worship them just to satisfy you Joebie?

komekn:


What we consider politeness in the context of Nigeria can easily be considered crass and rude in England.

The issue is your perception not Billings expression.

komekn:



On this occasion you absolutely have no idea what you are talking about with regards to this subject.

safarigirl:


They have barely settled in, and still have to send money to all their relatives in Nigeria, how many black families can afford to have foster children? And how many will the state consider for such responsibilities, as opposed to their white counterparts?

Danielnino00:


Just wait till the premier league resume.. u will see more Billing post from him..
Billing vs Ndidi comparisons self..


That's what he did with Tammy...

junnyjake:


We all know him.

That's how he use to do.

komekn:


Talk for yourself , that's your perception not mine Dr 2Know

komekn:


You get paid , in London its about £300+ a week i guess more if its a private foster carer.

The problem is the socio- dynamis and interrelationship skills a person coming from Nigeria will struggle. Everything is not cane and force , so they will end up in serious trouble.

TheGoodJoe:


Story.

I don't blame him. Its Pinnick I blame with his inferiority complex.

junnyjake:


Say that to yourself, if it makes you feel better. We know what you are about already.

komekn:


Double standard.

Iwobi was a youth player who had never played a game in the EPL before he had his full SE cap.

How many games had Osimhen played for Wolfsburg before he was in the SE, or should I add others.

Eze was the most outstanding player in the Championship that is no easy feat.

TheGoodJoe:
Looking back on some earlier quotes of Billing, the politeness was there. I wonder what happened to him in the last interview.

---

“I know my agents have said that Nigeria has approached them. There’s not much in it, that’s the most if I want to play for the Nigerian national team, so I think it could be possible. But that’s not something I’m thinking about.”

---

“It wasn't until when we [Bournemouth] were going to play against Everton a couple of weeks ago when Alex Iwobi asked if I might be interested in coming and playing for Nigeria,” Billing told BT, as per Bournemouth Echo.

"He said the coach had asked me. It was the first time I heard anything concrete myself.

"It's a pat on the back that another country would like you to play for them. I just take that as a shrug and proof that you are doing well.

“It would feel strange to have to play for Nigeria, even though my father is from there.

“I am half Nigerian and I feel that way too but I was born and raised in Denmark. My mother is Danish and my sister is Danish, so it would feel strange to have to play for Nigeria.”

---

So I wonder why the sudden change in attitude. People are even trying to make it look like it is normal.

ChrisKels:


Easy guy, he is your fellow man. That's a hard kick so diplomatically given

mank1234:
News of having to pay to play for Nigeria is everywhere on the net. If you read that too as a foreign born, am sure you'll be more forward than him.

Chai is he trying to rub the rejection in our face or what?
