This is Uzoho back at the Aspire academy in 2012.
He looks relatively older than his team mates from this picture.

So effectively what we are saying is that Uzoho in this picture is 13, or am l mistaken.

Because he don't even look like a 17 year old.

Go and get a picture of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham U 14 in 2012. And then look at Tega Abrahams, Aina, Tomori or Iwobi and Tega Onomah and then ask yourself the same questions.

I am sure at this stage the difference will be clear.

I remember playing b.ball with 2 other guys. I had hit 6ft since 16, and these ones were 6ft 5. We got talking and from their accent one could tell they didn't live in Nigeria.
The two guys were brothers, 16 & 13 respectively with the older one sporting a neat moustache

Raheem Sterling has only two kids. He had the first one in 2012 when he was 18 and the second one last year. Do your research before you get too excited trying to defend Uzoho.
You're indirectly doing the same thing you feel others are doing to Uzoho.

If he is lying about his education, according to you. What else could he be lying about?

Do you even know if he actually gained admission into the University before pulling out to join Aspire Academy?

Look I don't know Uzoho's history in and out. But one thing I know is your attempts at rubbishing his age are totally unfounded and without facts.

Francis Uzoho is 20years old. Take that to the bank. angry

Imagine if this was the case for a Nigerian player peeps will even claim he got the first child at 30.

How can my fact digging attempts be unfounded and without facts? I am not actually a lazy Nigerian who hate research.
You claimed he was adopted by Aspire Academy straight from secondary school, I showed you his personal Facebook account which he claimed to have studied at IMSU.
What could be less factual than that?
Since you don't really know him or history why are sticking your neck out to defend him

Ah, I came to share the joyous news that Uzoho has found a beautiful flower in another man's backyard and is set to pluck it.

However, I have found that his age is once again, a subject of argument.


I would like to inform the naysayers, that just because a man is doing big things at a small age, does not mean he is beyond his years.

There is no stipulated age for anyone to achieve anything. Yul Edochie got married at 22 and has been living happily with his wife for over a decade now. He was fresh out of the University when he tied the knot. He did not have any specific job at the time and was still dependent on his parents to some extent, but he still took the plunge at a time when his 'mates' were compiling a comprehensive list of clubs they planned to visit and the girls they would knack once they 'blow'

Uzoho is two years younger, but has a proven source of income and is well capable of caring for a family, as young as he is. His younger team mate, Awoniyi also got married this year, because he has the means and has found the woman

Now, he might not be twenty, but he isn't older than twenty-two years of age and can get married, after all, Yul did it.


Strike while the iron is hot, do what you can in your youth. Build a family while your waist is still strong and you have the funds. Don't sit down and wait to do things, so that world people will not criticise..... Because, whether he settles down now or in ten years time, world people will still have something to say.


Wish the man well and move on with your own life. Uzoho's age should not really concern any of us as long as he is not in an age grade competition and he is doing his job decently. The man did not even play in the age grade competition he featured in. Give it a rest!

Mind u Facebook was originally designed for people who have graduated from school. So there is no provision for "attending" So so and so school. It will always read "attended" so so and so school even for 100level students.

According to the moniker who said uzoho married his senior high school mate back days.
That means that lady is way older than uzoho and that moniker is a teen or probly a toddler grin

Make my left balls burst if uzoho is actually 20.

By saying I don't know someone's history that much I know what I meant. There are several players I know personally even off the pitch. That is the comparison I am making. None of you claiming Uzoho is above 30 knows him better than I do. We are all just basing our analysis on what we have read about him. Or do you know his parents?

Abeg which argument did we have about Taye Taiwo?

Oga go back and read that Castro guy's post again. He said he knows a girl who is friend to Uzoho's IMMEDIATE ELDER SISTER and that they( This girl and Uzoho's elder sister) went to school together. This girl is 22. Meaning she will be of about same age as Uzoho's ELDER SISTER. Uzoho is 20 does that not add up?


oh.... I thought the guy mean, the girl he knows was UZOHO classmate,

then UZOHO looks every iches a 19 going to 20youth

Uzoho was picked from secondary school by Aspire was the line used to defend his acclaimed age. Maybe wasn't originated by you but surely, that was the defence line here.

As a public figure, he has no reason to lie about his education on his personal page. I don't think he graduated anyway, he must have stopped to pursue his footballing career, however we know the Nigerian education system gives room for impostors to write exams for students in abenscia, especially a runs school like Imsu.....
Anyway, I have actually learnt alot about Uzoho this morning.
My best wishes to the new couple.

That line definitely didn't originate from me.

Like I said he may have gained admission and abandoned it for Aspire academy.

And again like i said I have not seen any solid proof to discredit Uzoho's age. All those inferences most peeps are making based on his physical attributes are just baseless.

Agent: 'Premier League club keen on Villarreal youngster Samu Chukwueze'

By Darren Plant, Reporter | 12h
Agent Johnny Ogbah has claimed that a club from the Premier League is showing an interest in signing Villarreal youngster Samu Chukwueze.
The 19-year-old has been a part of the first team at the La Liga side since September, with four goals being scored from 12 outings in all competitions.

Villarreal are keen to extend the player's contract and insert a large release clause, but Chukwueze has been linked with Arsenal and his representative has acknowledged that there is interest from England.

Ogbah is quoted by CastellonInformation as saying: "Many clubs are interested in signing Samu, but we will have a clearer idea of it in the New Year.

"Of course Villarreal is interested in renewing his contract. A Premier League club has shown a lot of interest."

Chukwueze's contract is currently due to expire at the end of the season

Has absolutely nothing to do with body size by the way. Beards are kinda hereditary too. Whenbwe were still in med school there was this guy who had absolutely nothing on his chin while I had a little goatee and he was the butt of all my jokes, between 24 and 25 when he graduated and his internship year I don't know how, but his face became worse than that of Osama. I thought he used drugs or something but he is my very close friend and I know he didn't, it wasn't until later on that his dad told me that he started developing his own beards at 30 that i understood that it runs in the family. So saying you can't sprout beards at 27 is false.

By the way isn't it funny that his height at 14 is barely 2 inches less than his current height Oga you can't, as in you cannot add just two inches between 14 and 20, absolutely not possible

Now what annoys me so much or why I am pained is that I voted him for the best young talent in our NL Nigeria player award...

I feel cheated, he is no national long term prospect to help us develop our football. That's the simple truth.


By 18, most people have finished growing. Few continue till 21 or so.

The boy obviously continued growing.

The boy is young. You have not been cheated.

Uzoho is not in his 30s. 100%.

The dude took it too far, 30 is too far. I think he still is in his prime, say 26-27 and that is why his reflexes have improved a lot. However this is really sad because further improvement in his performance is going to be difficult
