Rafiu Durosinmi opens up on his Super Eagles call-up as the realisation of a childhood dream shared by millions of young Nigerian footballers.
While Europe's academies chase the next Osimhen, Nigeria's domestic talent pipeline continues producing players like Rafiu Durosinmi who understand that wearing the green jersey isn't just career advancement. It's cultural duty. The Super Eagles' enduring pull on homegrown talent exposes the beautiful contradiction of African football: our best export remains the dream itself, not just the players who achieve it. Durosinmi's hunger for legendary status speaks to a generation that refuses to see national team selection as consolation prize, but as the ultimate validation of African excellence.
