Re: Francis Uzoho age
if he was 14yrs old in 2010, then he shoudl be 22yrs old now which is actually not bad at all. I perosnally dont think Uzoho did serious damage to his age.bret- hart wrote:There is a brief video clip of Uzoho circa 2010 goffing around. He clearly looked young. like 14 yrs old. You guys defamong his name without evidence need to stop this.

This man picture is trending on social network about his age. People are accusing him of falsifying his age but I highly disagreed because I saw a documentary of him with kelechi at NFF u13 program. The problem with Nigerians is how quickly they’re at attacking their brothers even without any evidence
Luckily for Uzoho, he would last long as keepers tend to last far longer than outfield players.
How does 19 fit into 12?
HAHAHA. Damunk, thats how ridicolous it gets. Please when next are you in Nigeria? I would take you round to these academies in Lagos, and we can have one on one chat with this players. THough 19 to 12 is not that much, 16/17 to 12 is pretty rampant.
And then they will still pass the MRI scans?

BTW, my main man Wilfred Ndidi failed MRI scan in the 2013 ANC U17 and was dropped. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/04/1 ... -cheating/
He seems to still be using the same age.
A kid that was born in the US, with confirmed Birth papers also failed it, so maybe Ndidi falls within that 1% or 5% (or whatever the marker for the MRI test is for that age) that fall under the normal bell curve.

Actually that is not a contradiction at all. He is quite correct and that is exactly my understanding. I hope you understand the fine difference between what he stated and your previous statement. For instance if you had stated that MRI may be passed by a 19 year old and failed by a 16 year old there would be no issue because those occur within the margin of error. What is not possible is your claim that a 30 year old would pass the test because that age is significantly outside the margin of error. That is the difference.
You need to read Dvorak's study and the reports can be found online.

Pls point it out.
Ive checked your link and I no see am.
As for Ndidi, you obviously don't seem to understand how the MRI works.
You need to FULLY EDUCATE YOURSELF on the basics of bone physiology and the application of the MRI scan before making comments like you have which basically suggest Ndidi is an age cheat.
Do you know the Ndidi story or are yu just following the headlines as written by an ignorant journalist you can probably teach yourself?

Dude, time to put a cork in it and quit with this "I-am-a-cheat-and-thus-every-Nigerian-must-be-a- cheat" mentality of yours. For starters, THREE generations of my own family were all born within a little more than two months of the year (with a couple of outliers of course). Nonetheless, only SEVEN of the 21 members of Uzoho's set (2013) of U17 Eaglets were born in December and January (6 in December and only 1 in January). That means that your tortured "thesis" about birthdates was frankly just pulled from your sitter.
Finally, as it fortuitously turns out, when the disgraceful Ade Ojeikere was publicly blathering on about how nobody knows the 2013 Eaglets' school-mates, this same FRANCIS UZOHO was the one player on that team whose pictures taken with his school-mates was reproduced from social media (and I personally posted same here on CE - and will try to search the archives for it). This was a THIRD-STRING GK on the U17 team when those pictures were produced - with no indications (going from previous trends) that he would be ever heard of again on the national scene. SMDH@

Nfacheif or whatever you call yourself. Yes Nigeria has a history of age falsification, Yes we have numerous players that have cheated, you are not telling us anything new.

Have I accused any player here be it Uzoho of any form of FOCKING AGE CHEATING? WHAt teh FOCK is wrong with you guys? I have nothing to show he is an age cheat hence i have not accused him.
In another thread on Awoniyi, all i said is that I know his age peer and i ended that FOCKING post with the fact that he is quite young and close to stated age and he would play for the SE for a very long time.
As for Ndidi, I stated a fact that is out there and has been on several publications that he was dropped due to failing the MRI scan and he is still using the same age. But i didnt accuse him of any BLOODY fact that he is an age cheat. EnuguII has now engaged me in a constructive argument on MRI scan unlike you trying to come here to disrespect me. STUPID OLODO!!!!

What other conclusion is supposed to be drawn from the statement " HE IS STILL USING THE SAME AGE"? What other age is he supposed to use? You are you using your age on your birth certificate still?
Yes insult me go ahead. Keep on making unsubstantiated claims. No constructive "argument" can be had with an ignorant person like yourself. Go and educate your ignorant self on how MRI's work and what it tests for before you come and cast aspersions on young kids on a public website.

Actually that is not a contradiction at all. He is quite correct and that is exactly my understanding. I hope you understand the fine difference between what he stated and your previous statement. For instance if you had stated that MRI may be passed by a 19 year old and failed by a 16 year old there would be no issue because those occur within the margin of error. What is not possible is your claim that a 30 year old would pass the test because that age is significantly outside the margin of error. That is the difference.
You need to read Dvorak's study and the reports can be found online.
Some of the arguments on this MRI scan thing again doesnt seem to work with me. Again, like I said, I would like to speak with a medic on this MRI and get very comprehensive understanding on how it works and probably invite him to educate us on this forum.
From your argument and that of Metalloy, It seems FIFA has approved a test that would likely disqualify eligible candidates and qualify candidates that are probably over 16 but not older than 19.

Luckily for Uzoho, he would last long as keepers tend to last far longer than outfield players.
How does 19 fit into 12?
HAHAHA. Damunk, thats how ridicolous it gets. Please when next are you in Nigeria? I would take you round to these academies in Lagos, and we can have one on one chat with this players. THough 19 to 12 is not that much, 16/17 to 12 is pretty rampant.
And then they will still pass the MRI scans?

BTW, my main man Wilfred Ndidi failed MRI scan in the 2013 ANC U17 and was dropped. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/04/1 ... -cheating/
He seems to still be using the same age.
A kid that was born in the US, with confirmed Birth papers also failed it, so maybe Ndidi falls within that 1% or 5% (or whatever the marker for the MRI test is for that age) that fall under the normal bell curve.

Actually that is not a contradiction at all. He is quite correct and that is exactly my understanding. I hope you understand the fine difference between what he stated and your previous statement. For instance if you had stated that MRI may be passed by a 19 year old and failed by a 16 year old there would be no issue because those occur within the margin of error. What is not possible is your claim that a 30 year old would pass the test because that age is significantly outside the margin of error. That is the difference.

While I believe in freedom of expression, I also believe in censorship of stupid expressions.
If ever there is a thread that should be censored, this definitely is one. What use is a thread
like this, and at this time? Is Uzoho's age, whatever it is, constitute any illegality on our team?
I will suggest that this thread be closed, as the title merits no discussion and should not be encouraged.

Re: Francis Uzoho age
FIFA has said, for the U17 tournament, to determine those that are U17, use the MRI scan. NDIDI FAILED IT and got dropped from the team.metalalloy wrote:chief nfachairman wrote:Oga Metalloy,metalalloy wrote:No he is simply the average clueless individual who makes baseless unsubtantiated claims, offers no evidence to back up his claims, and then digs in in ignorance when challenged.Damunk wrote: Uhm....Chief.....where is the story that a 30yr old passed the MRI test?
Pls point it out.
Ive checked your link and I no see am.
As for Ndidi, you obviously don't seem to understand how the MRI works.
You need to FULLY EDUCATE YOURSELF on the basics of bone physiology and the application of the MRI scan before making comments like you have which basically suggest Ndidi is an age cheat.
Do you know the Ndidi story or are yu just following the headlines as written by an ignorant journalist you can probably teach yourself?
Nfacheif or whatever you call yourself. Yes Nigeria has a history of age falsification, Yes we have numerous players that have cheated, you are not telling us anything new. But to make baseless insinuations on players ages based on a testing system that you have little understanding of is just not acceptable.
Have I accused any player here be it Uzoho of any form of FOCKING AGE CHEATING? WHAt teh FOCK is wrong with you guys? I have nothing to show he is an age cheat hence i have not accused him.
In another thread on Awoniyi, all i said is that I know his age peer and i ended that FOCKING post with the fact that he is quite young and close to stated age and he would play for the SE for a very long time.
As for Ndidi, I stated a fact that is out there and has been on several publications that he was dropped due to failing the MRI scan and he is still using the same age. But i didnt accuse him of any BLOODY fact that he is an age cheat. EnuguII has now engaged me in a constructive argument on MRI scan unlike you trying to come here to disrespect me. STUPID OLODO!!!!
What other conclusion is supposed to be drawn from the statement " HE IS STILL USING THE SAME AGE"? What other age is he supposed to use? You are you using your age on your birth certificate still?
Yes insult me go ahead. Keep on making unsubstantiated claims. No constructive "argument" can be had with an ignorant person like yourself. Go and educate your ignorant self on how MRI's work and what it tests for before you come and cast aspersions on young kids on a public website.
And then i said "He seems to still be using the same age." Am I not working with FACTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!
We use FIFA facts, una abuse us. We saywe know his peers, una abuse us. we say he graduated from sec school at this age, una abuse us. We say A, B, C to Z una still abuse us. Na wa o
You started the disrespect MR. MAN. YOU DID!!!!!!!

Re: Francis Uzoho age
Yes and that is the crux of the matter. I apologize if I came off heated, but we have debated this issue several times on these boards, and unsubstantiated claims made on website based of picture evidence and a shoddy testing protocol sets me off. The fact that Ndidi "failed" the test does not necessarily mean he is not the age he claimed he is. Complete fusing could occur in a legitimate 16 year old kid and they would "fail" the MRI and have that stigma associated with them forever. When Ndidi signed for Leicester, his "failed" MRI was brought up on the Leicester boards to doubt his age.chief nfachairman wrote:

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Here are two links. The first is my discussion specific to Nigeria and a summary of how the MRI test works and its use. The second link is a summary of Dvorak's study.
