NFF step up quest to secure Glasgow Rangers midfielder Ovie Ejaria in response to his sparkling form - See more at: https://goo.gl/f41UYy

I need to watch this boy a bit more. I am not sure where his best position is in midfield. Is he another anchorman like Ndidi or a playmaker like Nwakali?

[ogasir]

You know he came to the Under 17 national team screening as a 15 year old in 2014 and he was dropped. The boy was so disappointed at not making the Nigerian Under 17 cut and wept bitterly.

"Wept bitterly". This sounds like a made up article cuz no one talks like this in real life

IF this is true then

NFF needs to start taking faceless internet certified coaches seriously , we have been raving about this boy.....

Good news, but we don't have to wait for Europeans to develop our players before we invite them to the national team. The NFF should set a goal to cap 20 new players every year in friendlies. Got to give young players a chance to train with the senior players. Yekini wasn't at his best when he was first brought to camp. No one knew who Oliseh was before he was invited to camp.

We need to look for another quality foreign developed player that will have similar impact as VMoses - Can Ejaria be the player

[amafolas]

Ejaria when I first saw him reminded me of a young Mikel Obi

[Next]

Did he not train with the Nigeria Under-17s team together with Akpom in 2013 until he was forced to leave camp by his former club, Arsenal, at that time? He was supposed to be handed his international debut by coach Salisu Yusuf against Tanzania.

So he shouldn't be difficult to convince him to switch allegiance (though he has already played for the England U20 team).

Why is Naija stooping that low?
These mercenaries should be rather chasing Naija

Naija's best decade was when she used local (born and bred) Naija players: JJ, Kanu, Oliseh, Yekini, West, Siasia, Finidi, Eroha, Babayaro, Amunike, Amokashie
...Just writing their names make me love the game
No "AjiButters" ... Pure Ajegunle

You damn right man. It's an insult with all these players having SE as second option.

That's just the patriot n you talking, driven by sheer sentiment.

I'm sure if you had the choice of doing your present job in a Naija firm, or in an American equivalent, you wouldn't be rushing for the Naija job.
Practicality rules.
It's a career choice and sentiment plays only a bit part.

After watching the NFF crisis, some people still think Nigeria is the first option for players.

[ohenhen1]

Ejaria should choose the best option for himself. After saying that playing for Nigeria is right choice. England will just use him like Agbonlahor and dump him in a few years. SE fans are mostly loyal. Won't have to deal with the rubbish Sterling had to deal with. Play for your family. But be awareof the unprofessional people running the NFF. Just be ready for their shenanigans.

Good job or response - Damunk! Please "told dem", according to Zebrudayia.
