    Obama,am in Holland 🇳🇱 the truth is morrocan kids are just proud to be referred as morrocan than Dutch sometimes am even surprised. It starts with their parents because telling them no matter what they are morrocans.So is not simple as you are saying it.ls all about parenting and what they tell their the kids about their origin.

      The Role of the Parents is huge. Cultural affinity, representation, and a sense of national pride starts with the Parents. I see this daily. I coach abroad at an academy and the fellow Nigerian parents barely name their kids with cultural names. It starts there. The children need to be raised in a Culturally sound home. The FA can then find easier paths to identifying talents and grooming them in an already familiar environment.

    Thank you Saddick Adams, you've hit the nail right on the head. You mentioned the FA officials and their bribe taking attitudes. This is one think that destroys these players when they're young especially the local players.
    Then comes this unpatriotic attitudes of not spending money to scout for the young ones when they're in Europe. Our FA rather spending on themselves.
    Look at the pitches we play on, look at this "who you know" kind of call-ups. Then this mentality of "once a local player, he's not good enough for the national team".
    Mr. Saddick, my prayer is that Ghana will get a right thinking, patriotic leader for the country who will nominate quality people like your type, looking at the knowledge you have and the courage to speak truth to handle the GFA. This Kurt Okraku guy and his team at the FA are nothing but tribal, partisan and greedy corrupt individuals that must be thrown off board like their useless président Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Akuffo Addo who put such ingrates in those positions.

      Messi relocated to spain when he was 13. Argentina will always be one of the favorite for any major trophies at any age level because of the talent in their country so it was easier for Messi to play for his country. If messi was from el savador, bolivia or any other less talented footballing country maybe he would have represented Spain.

      @orisonagor109 we are saying the same thing. But in my opinion if messi was from a country with less talent in football that can't challenge for any trophy, maybe he will then play for spain regardless of his childhood club. Argentina chances of winning a trophy is most of the time better than spain throughout history. The main reason the African players represent countries like France,England, Germany is because they have a better chance to win a major trophy than any African team.

    Hello from Ghana, i think Sadick and the rest of the readers are not really paying attention to this particular subject very well because we are all forgetting the fact that most of these kids are brought up by their parents outside Africa and it is the responsibility of their parents to train children in a way that they'll would not depart away from when they grow. Inyaki Williams like most of the rest of these kids are not raised like Africans by most of these parents. Their best is only teaching them how to eat their local or indigenous foods. Assuming they train them to know that no matter what they'll grow up represent their country of origin even if they fail to represent at the juvenile level. Do you think any of them will grow thinking twice to represent their countries of origin? Kudos to parents like Abedi Ayew Pele. He made sure that regardless where his kids were born he raised them and conscienticed them represent Ghana 🇬🇭 and the international level. Kudos to Right To Dream(RTD) for training and educating our young African brothers by teaching them to go back to their roots. Kudos Tom Venon.

You can't tell these players to come to Africa and play when it seems foreign to them, Mikel has kids in UK and they will grow there to be candid if they get into sports Nigeria will not be their first choice but UK where they schooled and groomed.

Kindly listen to what he said, don't treat your African country as a second option. No doubt, all what he's saying when your FA came calling at your prime you refused as a player. Then sit and wait till your prime had worn out, you want to be relevant after aged 29 to 30 what more can you do. Knowing your relevance won't be a regular. Then if you're opportunistic stick with it. Oga! Stop confusing yourself here ok. Koby and Eze etc. won't be a regular in 3 lions shirt. Just that Saka, seem different but time would tell. So, why Ghana will now accept Koby if he hadn't been a regular again. Messi what had been trained by Spain, where is he playing. Oga, stop doing copying and paste.

    The argument favours both sides, in my opinion. As Africans we have a lot more to do to attract those players. The leaders are already looking for ways to loot and share. Just look at what happened to KP Boateng and Kwarasey which is embarrasing to international football. Corruption is destroying our African sports. Just count the number of athelets representing Ghana and the entourage taking advantage to follow them to Paris. Africans don't wanna invest but only thinks of enjoying.

      Kevin prince Boateng used Ghana to move to Ac milan from a small team Portsmouth and retired from Ghana and came back 3 years later to play in the world cup 2014. Such nonsense and nothing happened to adam kwarsey

    Saddick Adams and Mikel Obi, do you know why FIFA instituted the programme of allowing other players who have grandparents of other countries to play for the Football Associations of such countries????? You, Saddick Adams and Mikel Obi, should stop the foolishness!
