Re: Nigeria. Because I follow Arsenal, I know more about this than any American probably ought to due to the presence of one Bukayo Saka. He was born in England, he has lived in England his entire life, he started and came up through the Arsenal Academy. In short, thoroughly English. His parents (I believe) emigrated from Nigeria and so he is also eligible to represent the Super Eagles (which is an awesome name).
As of right now, the Nigerian Football Federation policy for players like Saka and Dike is to make them aware of their eligibility, once, and then leave it up to the player. Whether or not that lasts, who knows. Whether or not they've contacted Dike as they did with Saka, also something I don't know. But there it is.
