The 21-year-old winger, who captured the world's attention with his dazzling football performance, was spotted touching down in Lagos, marking an unforgettable moment in his young career.

The English international, whose parents hail from Nigeria, arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport amid a wave of excitement and jubilation from fans and media alike.

Regardless of the motive, Saka's presence in Nigeria has undoubtedly reignited hopes and dreams among aspiring young footballers nationwide. His remarkable rise to prominence is a powerful inspiration for youngsters, proving that dreams can become a reality with determination, hard work, and talent.

As news of Saka's arrival spreads throughout the country, fans eagerly await the possibility of witnessing the young star in action. Whether on the field or off it, Bukayo Saka has become a symbol of pride for Nigerians worldwide, a testament to the country's rich footballing heritage.

    Nigerians should stop celebrating that hypocrite Saka whatever his name is, he is of no benefit to Nigeria as a country.
    What Nigerians should be celebrating now is our current flying eagles who are making us proud as a country.

    Why would you say that nonsense about Saka or anyone? I’m not just saying that because I am some crazy Saka fane but I am saying this for your sake because you look like an idiot leaving that comment. Don’t do that to yourself. I don’t care that you don’t like him but keep that to yourself because again you like an idiot. Don’t hurt yourself. Did I read, “Saka, or whatever his name is” that comment just by itself make you look so stupid!!!!! I got secondary embarrassment when I read that. I don’t even know what else to say
