Credit:balleralert ATLANTA, Ga. – Wanda Smith, a revered comedian and radio personality, has passed away at the age of 58, as confirmed by her colleague Darian “Big Tigger” Morgan.

- Mikel Praises Lookman for Choosing Nigeria Over England | Xtrafrica
Mikel Praises Lookman for Choosing Nigeria Over England Prince Jean Sep 23, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Mikel Obi Commends Ademola Lookman for Choosing Nigeria Over England. Credit:gettyimages Former Chelsea star, John Mikel Obi, has praised Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman for his decision to commit to the Nigerian national team, lauding the timely choice as a reflection of the player's strong dedication to his roots. Lookman, born in England to Nigerian parents, initially represented England at youth level and was part of the victorious 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup squad. However, in February 2022, after receiving approval from FIFA to switch allegiances, Lookman officially joined the Super Eagles and has since become a key player for the Nigerian team. Speaking on BeIN Sports, Mikel emphasized the importance of African-born players embracing their heritage early in their careers rather than delaying their decisions. "Players often wait too long before choosing to represent their African roots. I believe it shouldn’t be that way," Mikel remarked. “If you’ve made up your mind to play for a country like England, France, or Germany, that’s fine. But if you’re not called up, it’s a choice you’ve made. Don’t wait until you’re 26 or 28—make the decision at 20 when you’re still at your peak. African nations shouldn’t be a second option." Lookman’s swift transition to Nigeria has paid off, with Mikel applauding his stellar performances since the switch . “Ademola made the right call by committing to Nigeria early. He had an outstanding season and continues to show his quality. He’s a fantastic player.” Now an integral part of Atalanta and a contender for the CAF African Player of the Year award, Lookman’s decision to represent Nigeria has clearly been justified, according to Mikel.
