To be fair Komekn was on about the misuse of game statistics rather than player attributes. Obviously comparing stats for 2 players in vastly different leagues in terms of quality is misleading.

As we know, a player that topped the goals chart in Belgium season after season may not even manage a single goal following a move to better league as we all saw with the Onuachu misadventure. If you compared Onuachu's stats with say someone like Callum Wilson or Marcus Rashford whilst he was still in Belgium, it would have suggested the he is a better player than both of them. But now we know the Koko.

Importantly that does not mean Onuachu's attributes like acceleration got slower or his leap wasn't as high etc when he got to England.
Using Onuachu as an example doesn't add up for me. Personally I don't see Onuachu as an EPL flop, cos I believe he wasn't given enough chance, couple with the fact he's playing in a new system, different type of players that may or may not understand his game which might take couple of games. And I think most player won't have coped, with the pressure of relegation.

Does your birth certificate emanate from the national data base for all automatically recorded births in Nigeria ❓

The authenticity and strength of a certificate is anchored on the entity that issues it .
mine as I said early was from naf medical canter makurdi which I might refer to as a federal government owned, my son was from the national population commission.

yea, 11 games with zero goals. How many matches did he start, check his first two season in Denmark, 12games zero goal very similar. He's very slow to adapt, couple with Southampton style of play. BTW he's not my type of striker.

The pressure is the reason why he was signed
If the coach won’t play him in a system that would favor him why sign him up in the first place ?

There’s no ifs or buts he’s a flop not because his team was relegated but his stats and perform says so

This may be true but is also evidence that he isn't cut out for the top of the football food chain. He is 29 years old, he can't be needing 'time' to at least show he can offer something to the team.

yea, I also think he made a wrong move, going to a relegation struggling team when he's used to fighting for top spot in Belgium. We all know January transfer is a fire brigade try and error thing.

Great! Now you're ready to talk
Now if you read the post you quoted ...
There's nowhere I said the "average Nigerian has a birth certificate "

My points were:
1. Most children born from the late 90s to date have birth certificates mostly obtained by their parents from the National Population commission .
2. The NPC register births though they do not do independent verification
3. I registered the birth of my daughter with NPC as soon as she was born, and millions of fathers/mothers do that in Nigeria today.

The above are observable phenomenon, I don't need to throw unverifiable %s around.

FIFA has announced it will adopt a new 32-team format for the FIFA Club World Cup that will take place every four years, starting from June 2025.

The four CAF Champions League winners between 2021 and 2024 will represent Africa at the tournament.

Can we have a Nigeria club at the first expanded CWC?

Virtually most Nigerian graduates 🎓 from public universities reduce deir age just to get deir desire jobs .u can imagine most scenarios most graduates find themselves in,u gained admission at d age of 18/19years for a 4/5year course but due to ASUU strike and oda factors u graduated at age 26/27 years(4/5 year course turned to7/8year course) + one year mandatory service.

And d graduate start looking for job and u realize majority of d banks and oda good multinationals companies have capped d age to 25/26 years ,abeg aw dt kind graduate no falsify him age via affidavit 😀

In fact I get person den wey b say he get like 3diff cvs with diff D.O.B declared on dem.anytime he’s at d interview,b4 going in ,he would confirm first from his wife,d one he used to seek dt particular job ,so dt he won’t end up shooting himself on d leg😀😀

He was the man of the match against Chelsea and struck the post on a number of occassions.
The coach that brought him was sacked and the new coach started benching him and even not listing him for some matches.
The best way to kill a player confidence is to outrightly show a lack of confidence in his ability.
Calling a player who stood tall against Chelsea a flop is ingenuous!
Rashford faced the same situation under Mourihno. It should not take an educated mind a lot of explanations to understand what Onuachu went through. Rest oga!
