Are you thinking his overall impact in the league or a specific NPFL match convinced the Eagles coaches?

I suppose his knack for big moments in tough NPFL matches must've convinced the coaches he was ready.

It's interesting he claims he always knew he'd make the Super Eagles, even before his first NPFL appearance.

Confidence helps, but claiming belief alone got him selected overlooks hard work, scouting eyes, and training performance in the NPFL.

Clubs and players should focus on consistent NPFL performances to catch national team scouts' attention, just like Nwaiwu did.
