18 was far too low

At best, he could have done 25. I don't know who advised these grown men with bass voices to cut their ages that low, and it is also another indictment on the Immigration officers, because what documents do they accept as proof of age when assigning passports?

I'm really curious, about how people like this pass off these ages. There comes a time when Affidavits should not be sufficient. How does an 18-year old not have a birth certificate we can access? Someone allegedly born in 2003? Our record keeping is so poor in Nigeria, because ideally, these things ought to be in an accessible database. The moment you're born, there should be a record of it in the National Population Commission Database, so, that even if you lose your birth certificate in a fire, all they may require is your name and state of birth to access your full details

We aren't ready for progress in this country.. These kind of things can be put in place, but as usual, there are individuals who will work against it just for the opportunity to cash out...

Sooner or later, nature will catch up with him.. Footballers that reduce their age hardly stay relevant for long.. You can't cheat nature...

But luckily.. Judging from his u-17 exploit..he edges ndidi when it comes to building attack from d defensive side..his passes are good compared to ndidi

Meanwhile amoo and lookman can fight for chuks place....make chuks concentrate on his club fb 4 now

It's immature and highly misguided to use U17 youth exploits to determine competence for senior first team football.

They lost all their games except one which they drew while he was at the AFCON. That is the difference between an impact player and a squad player. Same with Osimhen, Napoli struggled to win games in the league while he was out injured. If you want to know a star player, look at his club's performance in his absence.

Why do you have to misrepresent the facts essentially tell lies, what are you trying to prove.

Napoli lost to Inter Milan 3-2, Victors last game in Seria A on the 21st November before he got injured, the next Seria A game was against Lazio the won that game 4 -0.

Prior to Victor Osimhen injury who was the highest goal scorer in the team ❓

By all means big up your favourite player but do it without misrepresentation.

If it's on current form, Ademola Lookman is ahead of Chuks and Amoo is not on his level.

You know the irony in this? Your images proved exactly what I said.

Prior to Inter-Napoli, Napoli were the only unbeaten team in the top 5 leagues. They even had a perfect record of 8 wins out of 8 until a draw with Roma. Your images show they only won 2 games and lost 5 games out of 9 games, which is an abysmal record compared to the near perfect record they had prior to Victor's injury.

Now I am even confused. Are you bashing me or supporting me? You don't bash somebody by bringing evidence that supports their argument.

andrewbaba44:


No sir ,I need to point who was better... E get why

Ejuke didn’t flop ,I don’t know why most of you are still angry he refused to pass the ball

He has a good game when he came on against Egypt so he didn’t flop sir

Kai andrew,angry cos he refused to pass the ball?NO o.I was expecting more from him and I thought he would seize any available opportunity to break into starting XI when he came in against Egypt.

jihday:
how?

In his Klopp interview, of course.

Every English speaker, even primary school kids can recognize irony in the context of a statement. After all, we were taught irony as a figure of speech in primary 4 I remember. Then you have a supposed international journalist seeking fame so badly that he intentionally decides to interpret a statement out of context in a way he deemed fit. I love the way Klopp dismissed the guy for the cheap fodder he is.

The only painful thing about the whole incident is the way that journalist made Nigerians to look like fools on the international stage. It even disgusts me that I as a Nigerian would be associated with such a character because we are from the same country.

Danielnino00:


Whoever advised him to cut his age to 18 didn't do him well... Cus it's obvious he would be exposed,given his look...

Cutting age and manufacturing a new age is a routine practice in all our football academies.

IMO Diego Costa is an example

Napoli struggled to win games without osimhen

Dey small small Dey lie as if mertens no Dey score when osimhen Dey out ,maybe you go tell me weda osimhen Na defender wey for allow dem no concede

They surely missed him but that doesn’t mean they struggled to win because of him

elyte89:



Ghen ghen...shey dis coach no go stop us like dis ...I dey fear o

Nothing to fear... The only reason we will lost that tie is if we don't put in our best... It may take Hughton some time to gel the team...

Iwobi is a beast in the middle.

Kog45:
Doctor NO NO.....Okoye I saw today will cost us Afcon unless something is done by technical crew to psyche him up.

Okoye in goal against Ghana will cost us WC slot unless something is done drastically....Maduka Okoye need thorough lesson on his confidence.

Cool baba....Iwobi a beast again?una dey make old ones like us dey confusing...Today Iwobi dey play nonsense tomorrow Iwobi na beast.

Yes, they struggled to score and win because he was out and the stats show it. 8 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses when he played. 2 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses when he was out.

If you want to disprove it please bring the stats and we can have a discussion.

Iwobi did very well with the few minutes he was given. Looked very dangerous through the middle and assisted Townsend's goal with a lovely flick.

Kog45:

I don't think Okoye is really a bad keeper. He is like Napoli's Meret. He likes to grow into games, does very well in games where he is tested regularly little by little. However, in a game where nothing happens except once or twice when you need a crucial save, he will fall your hand when you need him most because he hasn't grown into the game yet.

It is a problem with concentration. Ederson suffered something similar a while ago but was able to ease it out of his game (although it still happens to him once in a while).

There was a news report not sure how authentic about a senior NFF official trying to manipulate the MRI results to favour his to sponsored player.

His last 6 games for Napoli before his injury he only scored 1 goal which was a winner against Torino ,they won some other games without him scoring so how come you are saying they struggled without him ?

When he was available they won some games without him scoring ,he played against inter millan and Verona and they dropped point there without him scoring ,the bad form continued and you think it was because he was out ? Lol

I don’t know how true is this news ,but no be today all these things Dey happen

not just in football, but in some places works, and everyday life,

my senior bro once ask me how old I am, and I told him, he told me to reduce it, for me to join one of the paramilitary, but I refuse,

even if I had consigned and do so, it will be hard to tell my real age, cos of how young I look

Kog45:

I don't think I've ever criticized Iwobi on this thread let alone saying he played nonsense. Everyone knows his best position is in the middle. He got an assist just three minutes after coming on in today's game.

andrewbaba44:


Lol ,Silas nwankwo worst pass that guy

He has already made his debut and his club defended his age

A dude that played West African University Games (WAUG) in 2015. And 7 years later, he is 18 years? Naija my Naija.

Dennis not in Manchester squad for Watford, wetin happen

eerrmmm, even tho I don’t really agree with him but aren’t you proving him right with this screenshot? 3 wins in 9 games including defeats to Spezia and Empoli

don’t see anything bad here, the unnamed NFF member only called for verification of results. Fifa/CAF run these tests don’t see how anybody can manipulate them
