Dude played for Mancity and Leicester.
Dem don hype am reach borough boys?
Recall when very lengthy articles about Chuks Aneke, Onyedimma, etc used to be a daily thing here

Can you please quote one with screenshots with regards to Chuks Aneke and Onyedinma including dates.

You used the term daily thing so finding 10 lengthy articles will be very easy with DATES.

OR your another blatant liar .

Imagine comparing the hype of the Kelechi,'s that has lasted over 8 years to players mentioner over a few months and not been talked about for at least 5 seasons.

Or Iheanacho might feel at home in Middlesborough and have a better time there.

That's a possibility albeit highly unlikely .

Sometimes if not most times a manager can make all the difference.

Akpom under the kick and rush blood and guts manager only managed 5 goals after 38 games in the championship.

However under Carrick he became the highest goal scorer with 28 goals 🥅 after 38 games that's incredible.

Time will tell.

I love the way Chelle is really drumming it in the ears of these players that March qualifiers cannot be toyed with. I also heard that he requested from NFF that he wants a June friendly with any African team that plays like South Africa

Nigeria Flying Eagles Resume Camp for Egypt Friendlies Ahead of U20 AFCON (Cote d’Ivoire 2025):

Head Coach Aliyu Zubairu has called to camp 30 players as Nigeria’s U20 boys, Flying Eagles, prepare for a two-match tour of Egypt later this month.

Team , Aliyu Lawal Ibrahim informed the NFF that the seven-time African champions will clash with their Egyptian counterparts in Cairo, capital of Egypt in friendly matches that have been scheduled for 25th and 27th February.

This year’s Africa U20 Cup of Nations will be staged in Cote d’Ivoire, 26th April – 18th May, with the four top-placed finishers qualifying to represent the continent at the FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Chile, 27th September – 19th October.

The Flying Eagles, champions of Africa in 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 2005, 2011 and 2015, won the WAFU-B U20 Championship held in Lome, Togo in October last year to be eligible for the finals in Cote d’Ivoire. They defeated Ghana’s Black Satellites 3-1 in the final match.

The two-time FIFA World Cup runners-up, in 1989 and 2005, came within breathing distance of the semi-finals at the FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Argentina, before losing narrowly to Korea Republic after extra time.

I 'think' it's about where the coach is coming from. You will see people complaining of Coach Olowokere teams consisting of more Yorubas too. Though coach Oyin Zubair is from Kwara, He spent some time in the North.

Someone said dis would be the 23man list

Hmmm
Where is Chrisantus Uche Of Getafe and Chuba Akpom of Lille?.
Some sources say there will be Dele Tom Bashiru of Watford in the 31 man list. Either one of Ugochukwu or Chukwuemeka will make the list most likely the latter. Arthur Okonkwo May likely get a slot in the goalkeeping department. Tolu of Genk is also making a strong statement for inclusion in the squad list

If you ask me ,I will say there will be as many as 5 new names in the 31 man list.
We may likely see the return of Leon Balogun and Nathan Tella
Eric Chelle has the final say.

Anything now na just speculation and media propaganda

I won't doubt it. The NFF is not serious they're not even picking the best to play

The thing is they can fool themselves but can't fool European clubs to sign them

Chelle must do everything possible to qualify us. We must not miss the next world cup.

Yes,
Any foreign born who desires to play for us should indicate now,not when some players have labored to qualify.
We don't need what late Keshi(to his blessed memory) did with Shola Amaobi,or what Pinick tried with Tammy Abraham all in the name of beefing up of our squad.

You are being emotive and prejudiced.

Quality is the only basis for selection.

It's a common phenomenon that not all the players that helped you to qualify get into the final squad.

As BETTER and more quality options in players are found and therefore selected.
