Apparently, Rohr met with Billing and he agreed to a FIFA nationality switch. The papers were even sent to him but a Nigerian online medium, owngoalnigeria got the story and ran with it.
Denmark put pressure on him and the incoming coach called him and he reneged on his agreement with Rohr.

This is a player we need not pursue. While he is very good, there are other prospects who are very eager to represent Nigeria. We can wish him well and we can put this to rest.

I hope you would apologise for this abuse if the story turns out to be true.
Do you have a comprehension problem?

I asked if there was evidence of the article and cited the fact the dude has been wrong in the past as the reason to verify that the news has a collaborating source.

Did he stop being unbalanced because he got this story right?

I did civilian hand-over and retired to a farm, but the lure of football has proven too much.

The pursuit of Billig and other disinterested part-Nigerians is a fool's errand that only serves to boost their profile for a future transfer windfall. We must not pursue such players. We must only extend a hand to players that are interested. Here are two players I prefer:

1. Ayo Simon Okosun - Ayo Simon Okosun is a 6ft-6in Danish/German/Nigerian giant ... He is tall. No he is not Sunny Okosun, and looks nothing like the late musician. Ayo is a player who has shown playing consistency. He plays for AC Horsens on loan from FC Midtjylland. He is strong, technical and has an engine. More importantly he identifies with Nigeria.

2. Maduka Christopher Udeh - Maduka Udeh is a player to watch. He is currently with Norwegian minnows Øygarden FK. The 6ft-6in juggernaut will likely prove to be the next Seyi Olofinjana in Norway and we should hear of him for years to come. Bookmark this place, because this is a player who is technical, fast, and has the physical presence and all the attributes of a top center back.

Thanks for this GT.
I believe we need to boost our central defensive depth and have kept a close eye on Adarabioyo and Ozonwafor. I will add 22 year old Maduka to that list.
He looks solid in every sense of the word.

Can't find any footage on Okosun, just interviews in Danish
