Dear Eniola Aluko, Nigeria is not your fallback plan!
While some ex-players like Aluko are out here calling England “more attractive” and acting like Nigeria is a football charity case… just take a look at Ashleigh Plumptre — a true daughter of the soil by choice, not convenience!
Plumptre could’ve stayed comfy playing for England. She had youth caps, the accent, and every right. But guess what? She chose Nigeria — not because England rejected her, but because identity, heritage, and pride matter more than fancy stadiums.
And she didn’t just “show up”…
She shined!
Africa Women’s Cup of Nations
2023 FIFA World Cup Round of 16
Top performances vs powerhouses like England & Canada
Leadership, grace, and zero scandal
Compare that with Aluko, who ran to England and still faced racism and mockery from their system. After over 100 caps, England turned its back on her. Irony?
To be clear — no one is saying Ashleigh is “better” than our legends like Mercy Akide, Perpetua Nkwocha, or Asisat Oshoala. But she’s walking in their footsteps with dignity, humility, and heart.
Nigeria is not perfect. But don’t insult the Super Falcons — a team that gave birth to legends, broke African records, and gave global giants a run for their money.
So next time anyone says playing for Nigeria isn’t attractive… remind them it’s not about attraction — it’s about purpose.
