It’s official. The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Football Club of Lagos have been declared the best football playing church in the world. The Nigeria representatives achieved this feat after defeating the United Church of Colombia 7-0 in the final of the maiden edition of The Church World Cup on sunday afternoon in Goa, India. MFM FC which plays in the Nigeria National Division One League dominated the encounter from the outset in what would turn out to be a miss match. It was just a matter of time for top striker, Adekunle Adegboyega to open the flood gate of goals. Midfielder Sheriff Alashe made it 2-0 while two more goals came off the boots of Nelson Kenedinum and Adegboyega to give his team a 4-0 lead after 45minutes. Adegboyega continued from where he stopped in the first half to complete his hat trick, elastic winger, Sikiru Olatunbosun found the back of the net twice while midfielder Nelson Kenedinum completed the rout. MFM FC ended the competition without conceding a goal and scored a whopping twenty goals in five games. Meanwhile, It was a clean sweep for MFM FC as striker, Adegboyega won the top scorer award with eight goals and diminutive midfielder, Onuwa Emmanuel was voted the Most Valuable Player of the competition. MFM FC’s road to making history at the Church World Cup in India started with a 3-0 win over Colombia, next to fall was Egypt who lost 2-0 while Uzbekistan were hammered 7-0 and the host, India conceded a goal in the semi final which catapulted the Olukoya Boys to the final of the competition. The participating teams were host India, Colombia, Egypt, Brazil, Nigeria, Ghana, Uzbekistan and Portugal. An elated MFM General Overseer, Dr Daniel Olukoya was full of praise for the boys and has promised a befitting welcome for them on return to Nigeria this Tuesday. “Wow! This is wonderful”, exclaimed the sport loving clergy. “The boys have made Nigeria and Africa very proud. I’m really happy that this feat was achieved by footballers who are ambassadors from MFM, they’ve made us proud in far away India. “As a church, we will appreciate them,” concluded the first class microbiologist turned preacher of the gospel. |

Hi Seun, semid4lyfe and honeric01. My thread titled ‘Table tennis (ping pong) for TT lovers’ was suddenly hidden and removed for no clear reason. I initially messaged the mods using the ‘Mail Mods’ button but there was no response and this has persisted for a week. That’s why I mentioned you guys on a dead thread. My thread was all about educating potential table tennis fans about the game. I can’t imagine how that broke the rules. I’d love to have it restored. Thank you in advance
