What is the monkey business around new Super Eagles call-up Owen Oseni?

Questions are now being asked about the justification behind selecting a striker from the English third-tier, Owen Oseni, ahead of more accomplished players for the Super Eagles friendlies against Poland and Portugal.

Oseni has been considered ahead of Rafiu Durosinmi, who this outgoing season featured in the Italian Serie A, as well as Femi Azeez of Millwall, who is generally regarded as one of the best players in the higher English Championship this past term.

This comes amid allegations of underhand business in team selection in the Super Eagles.

A quick search showed that 23-year-old Oseni scored seven goals and made three assists in 27 appearances for Plymouth this past season.

The search further showed that this particular player last played for Plymouth in April and so did not feature in his team’s four matches to the end of the season.

These are certainly not eye-popping stats even in the third division in England.

Is this not another case of a big man imposing a player on the national team to the detriment of the country as it was during the failed qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup?
