Like their cousins in Kenya (Luos) the Igbos are ballers !Damunk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 8:57 amWhat do you know about Nigerian ethnicities?Field Marshall Ogolo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 3:51 amI notice that most of the outstanding players of SE are of Igbo origin.

To keep it short and simple, I think Nigeria has done a terrible job in exploring the talent pool among the North, the representation of Northerners in all our national teams have been poor, and it can't just be due to lack of enthusiasm on the part of Northerners in the round leather game.
For better context, has anyone noticed that all the more skillful players that play for Ghana are from the Northern region in Ghana, precisely Hausas?
Kudus
Kamaldeen Sulemana
Salisu
Baba Rahman
Sulley Muntari
Abdul Samed
etc
All these players I listed come from predominantly the Hausa speaking parts of the North, and they are among the best players Ghana had fielded...maybe it's time we try scout more in the North for football talents? it's no surprise that most of our best Southern players all came from football academies in the North.
You probably think Aribo is Igbo.
