Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo has dropped a cryptic post on social media that has Nigerian football fans talking amid the international allegiance switch saga.
The Nigerian Football Federation have been on the case of many European players of Nigerian descent to switch their international allegiance and represent the Super Eagles.
Adarabioyo, who met Austin Eguavoen, is one of those whose cases the NFF have been active on in recent times but are yet to get a favourable response from the Manchester City academy graduate.
The former England youth international made a post on his official X account, which is telling and has got Nigerians camped in the comments section.
He shared pictures from Chelsea training ahead of the Carabao Cup Round of 16 tie against Newcastle United with the caption “Odogwu”, an Igbo word which means a strong man of charisma and prowess.

BSN Sports reported that the former Fulham star had agreed to the switch and will be named in the squad for the AFCON 2025 qualifier doubleheader against Libya in October.
Tosin was snubbed from the list, but he and Nigeria would be grateful he wasn’t on it after the hostage saga ordeal at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya, which would have been a bad introduction to the team for him.
