The process for players seeking FIFA clearance from the UK is a lot more complex...
Every FA in the UK (England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales) has to sign off saying they are in agreement with the switch.
That's why it takes forever to complete (remember Ola Aina and Victor Moses cases, which took over a year to complete).
Ademola Lookman and Ovie Ejaria are both in the same boat, most especially because they represented England in the U17 FIFA WC.

You can forget someone like Eze making it on time for Nigeria's WC campaign - he will most likely NOT get clearance on time, even if he initiated the switch now.

Hope he will be approved by March. We need some more AM options.

FIFA needs to address this. These players did not play for Wales, NI and Scotland so Why should 4 FAs sign off on a switch from England to another country meanwhile if England wants a player from another country to switch its more straight foward. Its been over a year and Ejaria and Lookman has not been cleared meanwhile Rice and Grilish switched over to England with little hassle.

How many of these players did you get to switch to Nigeria before Rohr? Rohr's accomplishment for Nigeria goes far beyound his record on the pitch. If Nigeria wins a major international trophy in the next decade, it will be solely because of Rohr and Pinnick. Believe that!
