Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
Good luck to him. He is doing what he needs to do to secure a better life in Europe. If we had a decent league grown men would not need to pretend that they are 18.

Na stress oh.
Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
I blame those who constantly inform us...
If you are still in the NPFL after 3 years you are not good enough.
If you are 24 and over and still playing in the NPFL, you are not good enough.
These nonsense rhetoric leads to this stuff this lead.

We need to teach our "Youth" to do the right thing, not what "is right for them to get a better life".
But we must also ensure that anyone doing the right thing for them to get a better life is not called up for our under 20s and under 23s, thereby denying a place to those who are doing the right thing.

Fans Left 'Baffled' By Age Of 18-Year-Old Silas Nwankwo After Joining Swedish Side Mjallby AIF

Fans Left 'Baffled' By Age Of 18-Year-Old Silas Nwankwo After Joining Swedish Side Mjallby AIF
Swedish outfit Mjallby AIF have completed the signing of highly-rated forward Silas Nwankwo from Nigeria Premier League side Nasarawa United - but some fans believe he looks older than his age.
The 18-year-old striker enjoyed a wonderful campaign last year. He scored 19 goals in 35 games for Nasarawa, guiding the NPFL club to a second placed finish in the league.
Nwankwo was also named in Nigeria's 'Team of the Year' after finishing the campaign as the Premier League's joint top scorer.
After such a profilic season, it was confirmed on Thursday that the teenager had earned himself a move to Allsvenskan side Mjallby AIF on a four-year deal.
Hasse Larsson, who is the club's sporting director, expressed his delight at the signing. “It is clear if you look at his merits as an 18-year-old in a high-speaking language, it is impressive," he said.
“But we are also impressed by his top qualities both in the wrong turn with his size, but also by his ability to manage goal chances to goal in the offensive penalty area.
"A player who will need time, so with a longer contract, we believe that Silas, in the long run, can really make a difference for the club.”
The signing of Nwankwo was confirmed on social media this week and soon after, fans began to raise doubts about his age.
According to Stockholm-based Rasim Reiz, the forward was listed as being 24-years-old on Football Manager 2021. "On Football Manager 2021, he is 24 while on Football Manager 2022, he is suddenly 17 years old," he wrote. "Senseless."
Reiz went on to post a Twitter thread of posts surrounding details of Nwankwo's alleged age, with screenshots from online articles included.

He played West African University Games (WAUG) in 2015. And 7 years later, he is how old again?

Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
24 is not that old. Why would he claim 18? Anyway i hope he hasn't blown his chances. Looks like a decent player
Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
That boy is not 24.

Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
That guy based on this report is most probably 25-26years old. If one assumes he was 18-19 when said report was made.
This alleged but seemingly true age falsification is just sad on so many levels.

Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
How stupid can this guy be? Really? If is not like he was an unknown guy and given the existence of social media. This, in my view, is plain ridiculous. While I understand the social and footballing circumstance that breeds this, it is really not excusable. It is acts like this that taints everyone else from Nigeria even if they are honest.

Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
The club is obviously complicit and be fined heavily for this.
OCCUPY NFF!!
Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
In my view, a hefty fine is in order asvwell as other appropriate criminal prosecution. They ought to locate those who assisted in falsifying official documents and prosecute them. This isn't a crime that should be glossed over.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 1:58 pm The club is obviously complicit and be fined heavily for this.

I wonder if his passport also says 18. That would be really bad.Enugu II wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 2:08 pmIn my view, a hefty fine is in order asvwell as other appropriate criminal prosecution.

This is the sort of age fraud that affects most of our players in Europe. It just creates unnecessary distrust when it concerns young players coming out of Nigeria. Very sad.

Re: 18 Year old NPFL hotshot moves to Europe.
smh...
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
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.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

EII,
But where is the evidence?
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

You, on the other hand, will tell us to trust you because you are a Naijarian and know for a fact he is lying without providing any evidence.
