Felix Agu, 25 year old Werder Bremen full‑back, declared his eagerness to represent the Super Eagles after featuring twice for Germany’s Under‑21 side. Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, Agu confirmed his intention to switch allegiances and join Nigeria’s senior squad.
The defender who has made 14 league appearances this season told Oma Sports that playing for the three‑time African champions has been a lifelong ambition. He revealed discussions with fellow German‑born Nigerian Justin Njimah have strengthened his resolve, calling it "a dream come true".
Agu’s performances in the Bundesliga have sparked interest from both national teams. Having kept his options open after his Under‑21 stint, he emphasises his readiness and "commitment" a promise of heart and identity should he be selected for the Super Eagles.
Editorial
We view Agu’s declaration as a powerful affirmation of identity and ambition. In an era where dual nationals face tough choices, his openness to don the green‑white‑green is more than a transfer—it’s a personal narrative of belonging.

We believe his conversation with Justin Njimah reinforces the supportive role of diaspora networks. It shows how community bonds and shared backgrounds can that shape international careers.

We note the potential impact of his Bundesliga exposure. Playing at a high level equips Agu with tactical understanding, physical readiness, and competitive discipline assets Nigeria can integrate immediately.
We also see wider lessons. Nigeria must engage prematurely winnable dual nationals proactively opportunities lost rarely return. Agu’s journey may inspire others to embrace their roots without hesitation.

Our conviction holds: Agu is not just ready he is resolute. If called up, he will arrive with more than skill he brings story, purpose, and the promise of a new chapter for the Super Eagles.
