Another person with the mentality that is destroying the Super Eagles team. Selection and inclusion of players in the final list should be based on merit and not on performance from their clubs. Victor Osimhen can be doing great in Galatasaray based on the conditions there, but may not in the Super Eagles team because conditions are not the same.

I am not against his selection, but I am of the opinion that every player should merit their inclusion.

You talk about merit and at the same time you talk about how the performance in their club is not what the call-up should be based on. So what merit are you talking about? Osimhen currently has more goals than every other striker in the Nigerian squad. How can you speak of merit and say Osimhen was not selected based on merit?
When selecting players for the national team, they usually look at how they're performing in their club side and the kind of club they play for. If a payer is doing very well in his club side but struggles in his national team then the questions should also be on the national team and not only the player.
