British rapper Dave has taken a sharp dig at Nigerian football strikers over claims that they lie about their age. In his latest track “Chapter 16,” Dave compared Nigerian strikers to women who lie about their ages, implying a lack of honesty that has drawn significant attention from fans and commentators alike.
Age falsification, though controversial and widely discussed, has been an issue in Nigerian football for years, especially in youth tournaments where age limits are strictly enforced. Past investigations and MRI screening tests by FIFA have revealed cases of over-age players in Nigerian underage squads, tarnishing the nation’s football reputation.
In the song, Dave’s lyrics suggest skepticism about the authenticity of Nigerian players’ reported ages, fueling fresh debate on the topic. This criticism highlights ongoing challenges in football ethics and accountability within some African football systems.
The remarks have sparked reactions, with some defending Nigerian players and others acknowledging the need for stricter regulations and transparency to protect the integrity of the sport.
