Why I picked Nigeria ahead of England – Joe Aribo

By Tosin Omojola

Super Eagles and Southampton midfielder Joseph Temitope Aribo has explained why he chose to represent Nigeria instead of England, emphasizing the significance of his Nigerian background.

The 28-year-old skillful midfielder was born in Camberwell to Nigerian parents but decided to play for Nigeria rather than the Three Lions of England.

“My Nigerian heritage means a lot to me. I don’t really talk about it much, but it means a lot. I always ask my parents about where they grew up and where I am from.

“I went back there when I was young, but I can’t remember it.

“I plan to go back in the future. I’m honored to be part of the Super Eagles and to represent my country,” he said.
