Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that a player on the books
of Premier League champions Manchester City recently overhead Flying
Eagles officials discussing about dropping players invited to the
training camp who refused to grease the palms of the coaching staff.
The
Flying Eagles officials talked freely despite the presence of the
midfielder as they didn't know he understood vernacular perfectly
because of his British accent.
The officials were arguing among themselves about the players to drop from the roster for refusing to bribe the coaches, and they called out the names of the players in that category.

Apart from the issue of bribery,
on one or two occasions at a team meal in the evening, the foreign-born
players were shell-shocked over the fact that the Flying Eagles coaches
freely joked about the Nigerian-born players' ages.
Some
of the Nigerian-born players admitted that they were playing with their
'football ages', the foreign-born players were surprised this could
happen in 2019 and they should not celebrate if they win the World Cup
in Poland.
The Nigerian-born players kept
asking the foreign-born ones if the ages stated on their passports were
their real ages which amused them.
