of course

None of the Nigerian players look older than 17yr-olds, I know what a 17yr-old in Nigeria looks like.

Jealousy don begin for here, that is why Africa has been struggling to develop.

No, the reason why Africa has been struggling to develop is because of her DISHONESTY!

toba1909:

If you don't know how to give kudos to the guys i think you can please shut up your mouth.Whats your stress in someone being over-aged,are you dropped from the screening or whatz hitching you?

First of all, did you read the last line of my post? Of course, I'm happy that we won.

"My stress in someone being over-aged" is that the tournament was meant for those that are really 17 and below, not for guys in their mid-twenties!

And. . no, I'm not a footballer, so I wasn't dropped from any screening. Believe me, if I decide to play for under-15 today, I will definitely be chosen!

One more thing dude, please learn how to address issues politely.

I read everything in toto,kindly give the names of Europe countries that present real U17 players.I think i've spoken politely enuuff?  

somebody was even sayin it's impossible for the europeans to falsify their ages becos it's computerised, hmmm. wat a talk, havent u heard of GIGO!

Where did Nigerians who falsify their age learn it from?

From Western education.

the deserve to win. Our new elected president Yar Adua could be a lucky person.

Do you guys realised when the former presido OBJ was in power we have not
won any tournament rather we took second position.

These a good beginning for the country Nigeria.

ALL European countries presented real Under-17 players.  It's left to you to prove otherwise.

And talking about the "under-development", I think it'd be wise if you checked what led to that response of mine.

The latter part of your statement was really unnecessary.  And before you decide to change this topic into a 'slave trade' topic, please kindly note that the post you quoted was in response to your post that attempted to define the supposed cause of Africa's underdevelopment.  Check again, and see how they link.

Cheers.

@Purist

Can u prove that Nigerians falsified their ages, ? If u cant "Shut up" and join the celebration!

I can't prove it, but it's obvious.  Very very obvious.

By the way, I already celebrated our victory.  I'm just bringing to our notice the potential abysmal state this particular issue may put the Nigerian football into in the nearest future.  If you guys maintain that these guys are really 17, there's nothing I can do to that.  But let's wait and see if these supposed 17-year-olds will still be as active as they are in 2010 (when their real age would have started affecting them).  I suppose by then, all of them would have been "20-years-old", and would still be "very enegertic".

Let's wait and see!

The guy said the fact,it's jealous that is making us to lag behind and not dishonesty as you said.Almost all the countries in the world are dishonest,and they all develop.Infact it is out of dishonesty that the Oyinbos become so rich in everything,so what the hell are you saying?

na we be d best Take it or leave it NAIJA TILL I DIE

Finally, I concluded that Purist lost out at the screening for the under-17s, that's why Purist is so pissed, he/she had probably expect them to lose so as to be able to bash them on Nairaland   _peace-out

@henryphyol
You are a fool. Your problem is illiteracy and complexity, it is people like you, and i am sure your family members that are bringing Nigeria backward. Nigerians are in celebration mood and you are raising a negative comment.
People that are more knowledgeable and updated are telling you that all countries cheated you are saying the europeans did not. you are an idiot.

what do you know about europe in the first place.

Where were you in 1989 when Italy was caught with an over aged player called Caprini. illiterate like you have no such record, abi italy na african country?

There is one ignacio in this present spanish U17. This is an argentine origin , if he was born 30 years ago how would database in europe track his real age?.

dirty people like you honestly, make this site disgusting and boring atimes.

We won!

I thank God for Nigeria.

We need the good news to cheer up the cheerless masses in Nigeria.

Soccer has always been the sport lifting us higher and higher in the world.

Do you also infer that the whites do not exhibit jealousy traits?  As far as I know, dishonesty does far more harm to any nation than jealousy itself will possibly do.  By the way, who and who are the jealous people that make the country under-developed?  And how does this jealousy manifest itself in order to achieve this "enviable feat"? I'm curious.

@d-onedayo
Purist and co are probably those who think that white people are honest just because they are . . . . . ummm white people.

@all
wel if evry country dat took part 'cheated' by using ova-aged players den using ova-aged players isnt actualy 'cheating',does any1 undastand wat i'm tryna say?

Before you 'peace-out', let me remind you that I am neither a professional footballer, nor a crapehanger.  I am only a concerned Nigerian bringing to the notice of the general public the potentially inherent danger this may pose on Nigerian football in the future.  If, however, telling the truth about ourselves makes me a 'fool', then I hope to remain one forever.

And by the way, it's 101% possible that I am more patriotic than you could possibly be.

Cheers.

Are you saying jealousy can not harm as compare to dishonesty?Bros If one is jealous of someone or a position,it can lead to killing the person and the title holder, while dishonesty is a kind of posing to be real while its not.So let the koko be said.

Is it high time you comment on this? After all the NFA has caused the country,abeg go talk to Sani Lulu,how are you patroitic more than i?I don't have to argue issues about this with you.

Lol! . .  You wouldn't like to get into a debate with me, I tell you!

I'll just let it rest here.  You're right.

I'm probably the last person that will utter such balderdash!  Please note the context in which we're applying the word "Honesty" in this regard, before misrepresenting my post on the forum.

The essence of the U-17 competitions,is to groom players for the future.What is point if our "players for the future" are geriatric cheats most of who will never be heard of in years to come.

All the U-17 world cups Ghana and Nigeria have been winning,what good has it done us?We are just sabotaging our future with this short term narrow mindedness

I'm sorry Mr lecturer,moreover you should go and sit your younger ones at home down and start teaching them phonetics.

@ I-man,

I'm glad you're here. It was your post on the other thread that prompted me to initiate the controversy here. It's just so sad to see our people defending the dishonesty being exhibited by the NFA in general. Soon, these same people will be the first to complain that our leaders are corrupt.
