Lagos Academy Set For N 400 m Windfall From Ndidi ’ s Leicester Move




A Lagos-based football academy Little Wonders FC is set to receive compensation from the transfer of Wilfred Ndidi to Premier League champions Leicester City, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Ndidi started out playing organised street football for Little Wonders Football Club under the tutelage of coach Victor Atutoya who decided to start an academy at the Military Cantonment in Ikeja, Lagos to help young kids to recover from the trauma of the Ikeja bomb blast of 2002.


Atutoya oversaw Ndidi's development from the age of seven and Little Wonders FC have been battling for a FIFA-mandated 5% training compensation from the deal that took the Super Eagles midfielder from Genk to Leicester in January.


Little Wonders FC trained Ndidi from a tender age until he joined Nath Boys of Lagos from where he transferred to Belgium. But after enlisting the services of London-based lawyer and with the help of Ndidi, Leicester have agreed to pay Little Wonders what is due them, which is estimated at £850,000 (about N425 million).


Speaking exclusively to Complete Sports, a very excited coach Atuyota thanked Ndidi for remembering his roots and revealed the money will a long way in transforming the club and helping more young kids.

"I'm very very happy, in fact I'm the happiest person on earth right now since we reached an agreement with Leicester City, and it’s good for the club. Wilfred still left some young boys behind and now they're going to benefit from him.

"I thank him for all his efforts in helping us. Now we can afford to buy balls, cones and other training equipment. I appreciate Ndidi for remembering where he came from because it is not all players that make it remember where they are coming from. I pray for him to continue going to higher places."

Referring to Ndidi as his son, Atutoya shared fond memories of the shy young boy who he observed first hand develop from a budding talent to a towering versatile central defender who could also play as a defensive midfielder.

He said: "I started training Wilfred Ndidi from when he was small, when he didn't even know how to wear a boot. He just wanted to play football and gradually he became used to playing with boots.

"We played a match with coach Nduka Ugbade's team at the Ikeja cantonement, our players were very small, especially Ndidi, yet we beat them. Ugbade was so impressed with Ndidi's performance he told me he would like to take him to the Coca-Cola tournament in Owerri. The barracks was like a fence and the boys needed exposure, so I decided it's best for his career to go to the tournament."

It is a bad start by the Super Sand Eagles..... but uhmmmm..

I hope they respond nicely in their next game...

We play Mexico next on the 29th. Iran is up after that on the 1st of May.

Wishing our Team the Best in their next games. I think Italy are the toughest side in the group... in the other game, Mexico lost 3-2 to Iran but ofcos... it is matchday that matters and not past results.

TheSuperNerd:
Really some of you here can be really amnesiac.... is it not I who have stated times and times again that Pep doesn't rate Nacho?? is it not I who is saying that Pep is the issue here with Nacho's non-playing situation and not Nacho? This is why I want Nacho left alone and left out of all jabs and unhealthy digs.... he is not the issue... the issue is Pep does not rate or give a damn about Nacho.... na wa!


But, You just jump in and start blabbing off tangent... cool down next time and read from the contextual beginning of each post then you will understand much better the point I was driving home.....

O pari.

More worries for Super Eagles’ coaches
By Gowon Akpodonor and Alex Monye









Super Eagles handlers must be having sleepless night at the moment, following series of injuries to some key players they are expecting to use for the fast approaching AFCON and World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Cameroun.


While injured Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has been reportedly flown from his base in China to London for urgent surgery, Lille of France announced yesterday that Vincent Enyeama, who is heavily linked with a return to the national team is out for the rest of the season.


According to report on sports.enorth.com.cn, the 30-year old Mikel, who has missed Tianjin TEDA’s last three games due to abdominal strain, could be out for more weeks again.

It was learnt that Mikel has lost confidence in the local medical treatment he has been subjected to before now.

Last month, Mikel underwent a traditional Chinese acupuncture in a bid to be fit for a Chinese Super League match.


“Mikel has not played in the league for three consecutive weeks as he has returned to the UK to prepare for surgical treatment, which also means that he will miss the next three league games,” the report by sports.enorth.com.cn, stated yesterday.

Even outside his injury problems, Mikel has always been a major doubt for the Super Eagles camping in Corsica, France, next month as the Chinese Super League season will still be in progress.

Mikel has scored once in three Chinese Super League appearances since joining on a free transfer from Chelsea this term.

Enyeama has missed the last three games of the club due to the injury, and according to an official statement from the team, he won’t take part in any of their games for the rest of the season.

The former Super Eagles captain was due to hold talks with coach Gernot Rohr about a possible return to the team, following doubts surrounding first choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme who is battling to be fit.

Enyeama’s return has been severally discussed, with Rohr openly admitting he will love to have the experienced goalkeeper, who left the team after a disagreement with former coach Sunday Oliseh.


Nigeria face South Africa in the AFCON 2019 qualifiers on June 10, with Rohr now faced with the prospect of either fielding Daniel Akpeyi or Ikechukwu Ezenwa, two goalkeepers who he doesn’t seem to have faith in.

Meanwhile, a member of the Technical and Development Committee of the NFF, Christian Chukwu, has told Gerrot Rohr that getting a replacement for injured first choice goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme should not be a problem at this point in time.

Chukwu pointed out yesterday that the duo of Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa have what it takes to stop any opponent in both the Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers.

“Akpeyi and Ezenwa have been training with the team. They were with the Super Eagles at the London friendly match against Senegal, and I don’t know why Rohr should be worried about goalkeepers,” Chukwu stated.

He further stated that Rohr would be treading on a dangerous part if he decides to turn his back on the two goalkeepers, since the 2019 AFCON qualifier against South Africa and 2018 World Cup qualifier against Cameroun are very important ties for the country.

Apkeyi and Ezenwa have what it takes to stop any opponents, if it's really true,why is Rohr and everybody is worried? Chukwu is not being completely honest

binhozie:
Let us not over exaggerate the criticism of kelechi s current situation, most people in this forum love kelechi and they want the very best for him that his talent deserves, people like Musa and even I Success are chowing bench and they get lil mentions, My problem is Guardiola is a one way traffic man, coming from a staunch Barca fan, he either likes ur style of play or doesn't and it doesn't matter what on earth you do he will always prefer his ideal player he did same to Eto just that Eto was scoring an outrageous amount of goals, in the end he still sold him.if you think he likes Aguero and Aguero has adjusted just wait till this season ends, he will get his kind of striker and bench or sell Aguero I suspect there is no interest in the players career that's what sickens me otherwise why would u buy another 20yr striker to compete with your 20 yr old striker, it's only because you want an upgrade, if he is interested in kelechi s growth he would have bought a 26-27 yr old striker that will be short term replacement for Aguero and kelechi will be long term replacement, Wenger might have all his flaws but he always protects his young players careers till they prove otherwise that's y Iwobi should stay,
preventing Kelechi from going to the Olympics and buying a striker that played at the Olympics said a lot.

safarigirl:
having tegular sex with one person dies not translate to 'being in a relationship'....sex is a tasking affair that will take away your energy more than give you energy. if you want to relieve your sexual urge, mast-urbate, visit the gym, perform lots of drills on the training pitch, put all that tension into something that will better your game rather than wasting it on top woman. Fooling around with one ashawo looking somebody will not make you a better sports person.


CR7 is not in a relationship and his career is going great, so what are you on about?

Sunnypa11:


Safarigirl is also on my hunting list but she is here making good contributions unlike others

Sunnypa11:


Chukwu should take a rest or face the damaged Rangers international...
He will start blaming Gernot Rohr for not calling an Nsukka made goalie if Akpeyi or Ezenwa mess up against South Africa

Sunnypa11:


She is a fine girl..I don dey monitor her for long..She is just passionate and intelligent... She is anywhere they are discussing Nigeria players except Beer Parlors

Icon4s:
This Iheanacho's case. I don't think there is any thing yet to be said about it.

The good, the bad, the hype, the drills, the lack of game time, The Pep's Philosophy, the coming of Jesus, the need to leave and so on.

My own is I do not care about Man city, Pep and their Philosophy.

My concern in this case is are we going to the World Cup with a bench warming striker?
A striker that only takes part in drills?

I really feel for the boy. He needs help fast else before our very eyes we'll see Iheanacho disappear from the spot light.
Which is already happening.

Gernot Rohr, I know you can do something. Please talk to Pep to release Iheanacho. I take God beg you.
