It's not fair to other teams who have 15, 16 and 17 year olds. This is why Nigeria is having a tough time qualifiying for the world cup!!! They had to wait till the last game to qualify! But if theyplay in an sub 17 world cup they win easily they should make a Sub -10 world cup I bet Nigeria will put older players and win again Fortune Chukwudi looks like he's 30!! What a disgrace FIFA! False Insitution Fake Ass Tournaments! Fifa should get rif of SUB - 17 World Cup

I have watched only one of the matches played by Nigeria and i am also not convinced that even Stanley Okoro is as young as he claims to be. However, Nigeria may not be the only country trying to win at all cost by fielding men instead of teenages and the consequence is and we are all living witnesses that such plays do not always do well at top flight football because age is always not on their side.

The are two ways to detect somebody's age; 1 through the person's family and (2) through MRI. The 2 processes have been followed and both proved him to be less than 17 years. Meanwhile, we need not to take medicine for another person's headache. All the best! I dont think one needs to create any unnecessary confusion about the guy’s age.

And people still wonder why the African teams get great results in the youth competitions and invariably fail in the "grown up" ones. Maybe the guys they have playing there are already in their 40's?

He still knows what to do with the ball though. Kanu could be 50 with the way he moves. He still knows what to do with the ball though.
