Nigeria will take 21 players to the 2014 African Women Championship in Namibia which starts on October 11.

Finally, the guys that had planned to buy Vaseline bcoz of Courtney Dike can use their money on something else wink and watch the ladies play without their hands inside their shorts during and after the match.

Nice list, just watch out coz these ladies (Falcons) will still molest their counterparts without using protection or dil*o undecided.
#Go Ladies (mummies) and do Nigeria proud#
God Bless Nigeria.
