Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin wonderkid Bob Okezie has committed his international future to Nigeria ahead of his country of birth, Germany, and has made himself available for selection to the Golden Eaglets ahead of the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup.

Born in Potsdam, Okezie started his football career at the age of six at Fortuna Babelsberg, where he spent six years before transferring to SV Babelsberg 03, then joined his current club in 2018.

According to the attacker's dad Chief Nweke, Bob has visited Nigeria so often where he learnt the words "quacking", "shoot heavily" and "control your ball", etc.

In 2015, his club SV Babelsberg 03 won the Brandenburg State Junior League (state junior championship) and the Nigerian whizkid won the golden boot.

He is currently the top striker at FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin U17 team and the fourth highest goalscorer in the Nordost regional league in Germany.

He wears the number nine shirt for his club and has scored several goals this season.

Nigeria needs such a prolific striker in the Brazil-bound Golden Eaglets.
