Dominic Iorfa ready to play for Nigeria

His father now says his son is ready to play for Nigeria at 27yrs old and still playing for Sheffield W in the championship. This man made a terrible mistake by not allowing his son to honor an invitation to play for Nigeria 6yrs ago. Had he allowed his son to play for SE, it’s likely his son’s profile would be much higher than it is today as he would likely had gone to the 2018 WC and played in a couple Afcons for Nigeria. Now he wants his 27yrs old son to play for SE. Well, he’s not good enough anymore and we don’t need him.

I hope the likes of Eze, Olise and Ugochukwu are paying attention. Get it while u can.

Sheffield are in League One (3rd division) and have been for the past 2 seasons

Wow. I even give an championship. This is sad. I can understand him falling to league 1 after playing for Nigeria but not ever playing international football has definitely hurt his career. Have we ever even had a SE player fall to League 1 after playing for SE at 27yrs old? Mr Iorfa did not help his son’s career.

Nigeria should help this guy get out of the third division, abi una dey heartless?!

He can try his luck with Shooting stars of Ibadan, I'm sure they wouldn't mind his quality

No way dude. Ibadan will not be a good place for him to play. I recommend Rivers United for him to rediscover his form and earn a spot on the SE.

I don’t know where people get the arrogance to think they can dictate to or make demands of Nigeria. As far as I am concerned, lower division players who are not sought after in better leagues or are over the hill shouldn’t be dreaming of playing for the SuperEagles. I can understand looking at 18 to 21 year-olds with obvious potential but a 27 year-old Ligue 1 player is definitely not it


Cheers.

His father like the father of Torunarigha insulted us. No problem.

On top of all that the man was particularly disrespectful.
It’s one thing to be diplomatic and non-committal but it’s another to say the kind of things he said.
Now he has the cheek to openly push for his son to wear the GWG.
He should go and sit down somewhere.

The man should kip kwayet ‘jare.
What makes him think his son is good enough to even enter the CHAN team if he were eligible sef?
That would be disrespecting the CHAN team.

Sheffield Wednesday ko, Minefield Monday ni.

Nothing wrong with his father, setting very high standards and desiring the best for his son.

They wanted his father to make a choice for his child that they will never make.

The father should not lower the high standards. Let them keep to their high standards!

He’s reached his highest standard at Sheffield Wednesdays ,not everyone can play at the highest level but he shouldn’t give up on dream to play for England.

Exactly.
The fact that it was the father speaking for a grown man also says a lot.
Can't imagine my father dictating to me at age 23 where I should work as a professional.
Sounds funny.

Uncle Damunk, I hope you know playing for a country is not classified as professional work.

Broda Fabio.
You're splitting hairs. Same difference.
Its a professional decision and at that age, I should be making my own choices; not allowing my father to be speaking for me and my career options in public.

[Aswani]

What age did Sola Ameobi make his debut for Naija?
Dominic knows what to do to get his son in, even Jordan Ibe's father knows what to do as does Ojokojo.
Once they do, they'll be in and there's nowt anyone on here can do about it.
