Media personality Eleanya Ucheya has reignited the debate over age documentation in football.
Speaking in a video, he noted that Lionel Messi is still playing at the top level years after facing Mikel Obi and Nigeria's U-20 team at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship, while many of the Nigerian players from that generation have already retired.
According to Ucheya, "You can claim any age you want, but your body will ultimately reveal the truth."
