Former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has expressed surprise over head coach Finidi Chelle’s decision to include goalkeeper Amas Obasogie in the latest national team squad. According to Aiyegbeni, Obasogie is talented but still developing, and he believes the Super Eagles should rely on more experienced hands for such an important period. His comments have sparked debate among fans who have mixed opinions about Obasogie’s readiness.

Aiyegbeni argued that the national team should always field the best and most prepared players, especially when preparing for major competitions. He insisted that the Super Eagles cannot afford any form of experimentation when results matter most. Some football lovers agree with him, saying Obasogie needs more time and exposure at club level before stepping into a bigger role.

However, others believe Chelle’s decision is part of the long-term plan to refresh the squad and introduce younger talents. They argue that giving Obasogie an opportunity now could boost his confidence and help the Super Eagles build a stronger team for the future. The debate continues as fans wait to see whether the young goalkeeper will get playing time.

The inclusion has now become a hot topic across Nigerian football circles, with many eager to see how the squad performs. Whether Aiyegbeni’s concerns turn out to be justified or not, the discussion shows how passionate Nigerians are about the Super Eagles and the players chosen to represent the country.
