Nff is just disturbing the boy’s progress with the ridiculous age he was given for the U20 World Cup. He should be polishing his craft in Europe by now but dem say him be 16 years. Ridiculous!!!
You’re absolutely right! He’s very you but doesn’t look 16 to my mind. Good player to be honest by the way.
stop all these propaganda drama, its the guy who gave his age details to the NFF, and he is not as old as you think, he could be 16 years or 17, go and look at your 17 years old neighbours in Nigeria, some look bigger and stronger than daga if you dont know, expecially in the east they grow very fast and strong if well fed, you go even hail some of them like Bross, why are you indirectly accusing daga and Nff of age shit when the guy is obviously young looking, unlike taye taiwo, aghahuwa,sani keita, etc this is not that generation.
Anyway i want to congratulate Eyimba for doing the needfull for Daga to develope him self ahead of the big european move, this is what i have be clamoring for and i am happy kanu nwankwo and finidi do follow comments here, teams like eyimba bendel insurance and remo stars should integrate these talents into their teams, since they represent us in continental level, players like bamiyi, aiyanbozo and some of the left overs by european scouts should be integrated to our big teams in other to give them the experience and also bost their chances of super eagles, for example if the nff demand for 1 or 2 homebase inclusion, players like daga can easily be relied upon, most of us will not complain, keep it up Eyimba, i hope insurance follows up, imagin if insurance had bought sarki ugbelu and agbalaka into the benin arsenal i think they will be team to bit in this cofedration cup, instead of allowing those guys go where they canot be seen again, this is a good news, at list i can be enjoying dagas classic display via enyimba games, he may join the eagles for the nest afcon.
Daga is 16 years old…??
A player who has played for FC Rockets, Dakkada FC and now Enyimba…?
Are you freaking kidding…?
Because make up artists have painted his face young before this photo shoot you think we are fooled…?
In your mind Daga is same age with the boys Ugbade paraded at the last U17 AFCON.
Oga open your eyes. Go and rewatch his matches at the U20 WC and come back here to tell us again that he’s 16 years old. LMAOoo
E sure for am naim e no go start with Ugbade boys make MRI open in yansh….? LMAOoo.
We should better stop seeing this lad as a kid and start using him in the SE now. Otherwise we will not benefit anything from him the same way we never benefitted anything from Rabiu Ibrahim, thinking he would grow….LMAOoo…not knowing he was already operating at his peak while still claiming to be u20.
This one has cut his age so badly that he has even cut himself of of contention from playing in Europe for the next 2 years….LMAOoo.
The boy is at his peak now, Nff and Peserio should fast track his passage into the SE so we can at least benefit 3 to 4 years of service from him before he sublimes into oblivion like those before him
If what I read about Daga was anything to go by. Then he is still a young boy. Though, he might not be 16yrs old but he is less than 20yrs. According to the report, he was a secondary student 2-3yrs ago.
No Mind the mumu parrot, he go dey talk as if na him born the pikin. Ask am whether the europe wey him dey we no get 17 year old wey dey look like 30 years old men. Oga if you have nothing sensible to type here i will suggest you go wank yourself to sleep.
Thumbs up Sisterwomam Mercy. Sense no go kill you. This point you made here on Daga is important.
Daga looks very young I have seen him enough to believe he used his real age probably 17 now.
Playing for Eyimba will help his development..
