No difference. We will still beat South Africa blue black.
Customer dada ni.
It will be a great loss if Nigeria don’t quickly call him in future to the senior national team. He has the talent. Check his video clips on youtube. What a talent
Talents are too much bro, he cannot stand most of our strikers in the current U17 squad, i have watched his clips well to know this.

‘Nigerians, we never learn from our past mistakes, ‘TALENTS ARE TOO MUCH’ we made this same mistake with ADEBAYO and we lost him to TOGO, Tell me how many players in the U17 team Adebayo could not qualify to join made it to his level? We also made the same mistake with Alaba and we lost him to Austria, Alaba left Bayern Munich after winning multiple champions league cup with them and joined Real Madrid and he has since won another Champions league cup with Real Madrid.
We need to humble ourselves and learn from our past mistakes.
If the kid was born in South Africa he cannot be qualified as “Nigerian-born” just because his parents are from Nigeria.
You are right actually but if the parent acquire south africa citizenship the boy become south africa citizen automatically
