@ANC: Frankly, I'm not bothered about it. People are having discussion, which they have the right to do but it appears some are taking it too seriously that Torunarigha should or must play for the SE and if he doesn't the SE is screwed. Sooner or later you will find people here heaping abuses on him just because he decided to not to play for the SE, hence the statement to cool down. If you don't like that maybe because you are an agent or have your own agenda....

Possibly. But let's wait and see what happens. Very talented young player whose style of play would fit right in with us. Then again, it could be injury related.
Re: Rohr offers Torunarigha World Cup Spot, reports ESPN
By the way, I don't think that a World Cup roster spot has been promised to anyone. If Torunarigha (or any of the other German Nigerian Centrebacks) chooses to play for Nigeria, the offer is likely to be a spot on the provisional roster. This would give him (or any of the others') a chance to train with the Nigerian team and possibly push for a World Cup roster spot. Barring injury, making the final roster would require proving that they currently deserve a spot over one of our top four guys (Ekong, Balogun, Chidozie, Omeruo). However, even if that doesn't happen the important thing is the commitment to Nigeria as we look towards the future (remember that we are not just building for this World Cup, but for the next one as well).
Re: Rohr offers Torunarigha World Cup Spot, reports ESPN
Here in Germany, I am aware of Rohr's plans to recruit tried and tested Bundesliga players into Super Eagles. His pitch is the world cup in Russia.
Jordan has made his decision to reject Nigeria for Germany. His agent informed Rohr about the decision.

Hertha Berlin centre-back Jordan Torunarigha has been offered a ticket to the 2018 World Cup by Nigeria, which would allow the Germany under-21 international to represent the same country as his father.
The Bundesliga player could switch allegiances and play for the Super Eagles, which his father, Ojokojo Torunarigha, won 12 caps for in the 1990s.
Eligible to play for both Nigeria and Germany, the Nigerian FA have now offered the centre-back a ticket to the 2018 World Cup, his agent, Thomas Zorn, has confirmed to B.Z.
"That's true. We have such a request from the NFF," Zorn said, and the paper added that Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has tried for several months now to win over the centre-back.
"Jordan must listen to his heart," Zorn said. "This request is a huge honour, and also a confirmation for his great development. But I think his journey for the German FA is not over."
Hertha coach Pal Dardai, 42, said that while "the World Cup is a huge chance for him, it might be better for his development if he first plays for Germany's U21."
"Maybe, he can even play for Germany one day," he said.
Coming through the ranks of Hertha's academy, Torunarigha has played for Germany's youth teams since late 2014, and since debuting for Berlin's pro team in February 2017 has made 21 appearances for the club in Bundesliga and Europa League competition.
Torunarigha has been selected for Germany's upcoming U21 European Championship qualifiers against Israel and Kosovo.
He is really good.
He is 'better' than all of our current CDs... at worst he will add quality depth.
Will like to see how he meshes with our other CDs.
He might just pull a Chidi Nwanu should he be eligible and is willing to play for us.
A team with truly young players who can keep on growing.
