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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I wonder if his passport also says 18. That would be really bad.

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.

But there is evidence. They didn't do like you Ageologists, they actually provided evidence of a guy who goes by the same exact name having played NUGA games back in 2015.

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.
