Chinonso Eche is an 11 year-old Nigerian freestyler who wants to take his skills to the international stage, MySportDab reports.

He started developing his skills at the age of eight after watching videos of international players including Lionel Messi and Nigerian Jay-Jay Okocha.

Eche, who uses his stunning skills to entertain his friends in schools, told BBC Sport Africa of his dream to play for big football clubs and the Super Eagles of Nigeria when he grows up.

OMG! Watch His Videos HERE

We have loads of Messi and Ronaldo combined here in Nigeria

Funny cuz almost every young football talented stars has being tagged “The next Messi”

Hahahahaha am just happy for one reason though

Omo igbo igbo

freestyle is different from 11 a side football if you think am lying ask habib makanjuola

Lol so he is the next messi because he can juggle ball ni. Come My area come see people way they juggle ball na, if na to juggle ball be football them for they play pro. Freestyle juggling is different from 11 aside pressure oh. Abi van dijk won dy pursue you make you carry ball for head dy run? Them go push am enter one side oh. Football goes way more than juggling Ball Bro

Why is it that MOST ECHES are soccer players..??

We have a lot of Messi and Ronaldo in Nigeria but no opportunity to showcase their talent. Football na connection for Nigeria, if you no get connection, na garri you go drink.

No be by freestyle o. He better hone his talent and develop important aspects of the game. Football is all about output these days and finding the balance between showboating and goals/assists.

All the best young lad

As if freestyle has anything to do with being a great footballer....

everyone want to be the next Messi,once you dribble more than 3 players on the pitch.the next question will be na him be Messi.....

Why does every good players are always compare to messi? Why not next Ronaldo? Lmao.

They said he hasn't done any thing for his national team but he has won copa america golden ball and the world cup golden ball, the highest individual honour for a national team, he's the highest goal scorer in Argentina ever even more than the overrated maradona, he's like 20 goals behind mess I.

He dribbles, assist, scores. The only player ever that has won both the play maker awards and the goal scorer award which is an impossible feat. Mhen messi is good, really good.

uthlaw:

I swear bro, no one want to be the next ronaldo. Even Nigerians that hate messi was even saying chekueze is the nigerian messi, lmao.

The guy is too good.

maybe he's good, maybe he's not I can't say but stop tagging people with names that they may not be able to live up to. they'll call that guy up now and sign him and y'all may not hear his name again cos he might not be able to complete a simple . Messi isn't called the GOAT because he juggle balls. all these things he's doing ehn, KURT ZOUMA will do it.

Ok

Wow

He needs to calm down... He needs to see this Tanzanian market woman. She even does a better job than him. Does that mean she can play in a soccer match?

That's how they were calling Stanley okoro little messi, where is he today?

Pls what happened to Iheanacho?? Dude's no longer making waves.

Arsenal should sign him sharply.

freestyling is different from playing 11vs 11 in a football pitch

He never start anything, una don dey compare am to messi. Continue

A yoruba driver got a pay raise and prostrated in gratitude before his expatriate manager. The American ran towards me like, WTF! Dave, what's this guy trying to do? I said he's saying thank you. He said, "damn, u mean y'all do push ups to say thank you?" I need a new tribe

All the best Chinonso.

the last nigerian messi is nowhere to be found o. this guy would make it sha if he keeps working hard

amaniro:
Omo igbo igbo

@pic

Goodbye

He may not be as good as Messi and others
What he's doing is what is done at the CIRCUS not football pitch

Mtcheew.. All these Nigerian hypes that never live up to expectations
