They will still invite Musa and underperformiing simon over him and say they need experience. Play Togo abeg, Nigeria no work
If we are a country that believes merit then the following names must be in the next Super Eagles roster, Gift orban, Victor Boniface, Nathan Tells, Chubs akpom, adarabioyo should also be a good addition.

You are very correct
New rules of 20 Foreign base players, Musa, Onuachu, Simon untouchable, Akpom, Urban, Boniface, Tella Out!
Congrats Orban.
Wow, 3 hatricks in a season..
Talent everywhere..
The best should represent the rest…..that is the rule that applies all over the world except Nigeria…..They will tell you to allow Orban wait for his time…..they will tell you that Orban should start from U23……they will tell you that national team football is not club football…..they will tell you that the team must be BALANCED and all regions in Nigeria must be represented……they will tell you that experience is what inactive players bring to the team…..All this nonesence talk just to keep the best out of the team…..Who did this to us as a country?…..Na wa o
Chelsea can try him .cook him for champions league or Europa .
If Chelsea can see him all the way from England then what stops the NFF from noticing this striking genius?
To be fair to the NFF, they noticed him but it was for the u23 national team. Meanwhile they will invite Ahmed Musa and co (shake of head), we are not serious at all. Someone who just came in January and has racked up 14 goals is not good enough for the nigerian senior team….lol jokers! If we are serious , the guy should play behind Osimhen in the national team.
Until he starts bribing them, they won’t invite him.
It is unfortunate that the Nigeria football federation (NFF) has not yet capped Gift Orban as soon as possible, despite his impressive performance on the field. It is worth noting that Orban’s mother is from Togo, and this makes him eligible to play for the Togo national team as well.
Given Orban’s exceptional talent and potential, it would be a shame if he does not get the opportunity to represent the super eagles. It is essential that the football federation recognizes his talent and takes steps to ensure that he has the opportunity to showcase his skills at the international level.
At the same time, it is also important to note that the decision of which national team to represent ultimately lies with the player himself. Regardless of which team he chooses to play for, it is clear that Gift Orban is a rising star in the world of football, and his future looks bright.
Gift Orban is undoubtedly a phenomenon in the world of football. With an impressive record of 14 goals in just 13 starts, he has proved to be a valuable addition to the Gent. His exceptional skills on the field are evident in his ability to score goals at an incredible rate, which makes him a force to be reckoned with in any league.
What makes Orban’s performance even more remarkable is that he has achieved such a feat despite joining midway through the season. If he continues to play at this level, he might just break the record for becoming the top scorer (the top scorer is 20 goals currently) in a league despite joining later in the season. This is a testament to his talent and dedication to the sport, and it is no surprise that fans are eagerly following his progress.
Overall, Gift Orban is a name that is bound to be heard more and more in the world of sports, and it will be exciting to see what he accomplishes in the future.
