Ajax striker Chuba Akpom has once again expressed his strong desire to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria, despite years of waiting for a call-up.

Since making himself available for selection, Akpom has yet to receive an invitation from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) or Super Eagles coaches, even as he continues to perform in Europe. Speaking to Oma Sports, he remained hopeful but realistic about his chances.

“I give my best every time. I’ve been waiting since 2019. I switched allegiance a long time ago, but if it happens, it happens. I’ll just keep working hard,” he said.

Addressing misconceptions about dual-nationality players choosing Nigeria only when England overlooks them, Akpom explained that many players simply didn’t get the chance to represent Nigeria from a young age.

“It’s not about choosing Nigeria because England didn’t call. Many of us grew up in England, played for their youth teams, and followed that path. But deep down, our roots are Nigerian,” he added.

Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.

The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”

“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”

Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.

It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.

Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.

“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
