Please forget this lady - she underwhelms everytime she plays for Nigeria.
That's why she fell out of Waldrum's plans after she put up a very poor display during the Turkish invitational.
Time to focus on more exciting prospects.

.Onyeka completed her hat-trick in the 73rd minute for a 10-0 lead.

The young lady has already represented US at U15, U16, U17 and U18 levels.


Ayo Oke


A top-notch defender, who currently plays for California, featured for NTH Tophat Club and helped them reach the GAL Championship game.

She was named best regional player in the 2020/2021 season.

She was born to Nigerian parents, which makes her eligible to also play for Nigeria.

I don't understand why Simi Awujo has recently represented Canada W U20. The very Canadian Soccer Association says she was born and raised in USA to Nigerian parents (born in Nigeria). If she and all of their parents and grandparents were not born in Canada and she has not lived in Canada the required time, she is not eligible to play for Canada.

So many Nigeria talent spread all over the World... There's one also who Plays Right Back for the Netherland U20 Women's team, hopefully i will be monitoring all of them during the various tournament proper..


Posted them here so you all we also keep tabs with them...


Nina Iyobosa Nijstad .... DUTCH U20


I spoke with Nina sometime ago and she was interesting in Playing for the Superfalcons but just wanted her for Finnish with the Dutch U20 first ..

Her performance at this U20 Women's World Cup will definitely prompt me more to go for her...


Anyway thanks to my great friend Andrés Lopés who keeps making the job easy to get access to them..

Canada is very actively poaching players globally. The Canadian FA and the Canadian govt. are working together on this.
It is not by happenstance that their MNT qualified for the world cup and doing so decisively, winning their CONCACAF group ahead of powerhouses Mexico and the US.
They are slowly but steadily amassing a powerhouse of quality players for their WNT (evidenced by winning the Olympics) and will very soon start to compete for the WWC.

But this Simi case is just intriguing to me, Both Parents are Nigerian, born here in Nigeria before moving to the US, I wonder how she became a Canadian without living there for the stipulated number of years.. Not even US but Canada.... hahaha ��
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by AkinDS: 4:52pm On May 04, 2022
We need to do more than just keeping tabs - we need to be more intentional about getting them to play for Nigeria.
It is obvious that just relying on the HB will not get us anywhere and we will soon be left behind, not only in the world, but in Africa itself. Look at the composition of North African countries, if you don't believe this.
We really need to be serious about what are intentions are as a footballing nation, or else, we will soon become a nonentity.

Eseosa Aigbogun - Swiss player who we chose to ignore even when she had aspirations to play for Naija by way of her dad.
So many kids we could have had.

Similar will happen to the young Vicki girl in Spain. There is absolutely no way Spain will let her go. No way, considering she is a precocious talent who could become world class.
Naija dropped the ball here - big time!

Vicky wears no.10 for Spain U17 now, she has the final say here, I know too well that Spain wouldn't let her go but the Nigeria in her is still there...

With the presence of Ashleigh Plumptre, Tony Sisters, Onyi Zogg, Roosa Ariyo in the team I believe they would all want to play for Nigeria too..

This Gamero too is another super talented striker good with both feets, Half Nigeria and Half Spanish but US don ready grab her....

I remember one player who recently debuted for Netherland at the Senior level, she was open to play for 3 top counties Spain, US and Netherland but she went with the Dutch..
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by AkinDS: 5:03pm On May 04, 2022
Like I stated, it will be a tall order for her to play for Nigeria - I believe that ship has already sailed.
Naija lacks a well defined intake process and that has been the problem for us.

We have too many myopic and uninformed administrators who simply are incapable of seeing the big picture.
With the potential talent we have globally, there is absolutely NO reason why we shouldn't be a top 10 country and be able to make it to the Semi finals of the WWC. Absolutely NO reason.
But then again, its Naija with all its failures and inability to forward think.

This kid is a superb player. Watched her play this past weekend and she just reminded me of a more refined and skillful Ordega in her U20 days.
Another one that slipped thru the cracks for Naija.

At least, make an effort to get them and if you lose, you lose.
Not that you fold your arms and do nothing, and expect to get the best talent out there - which is the stance Nigeria has adopted all these years and we have paid dearly for it.

E nor easy at all...

But the truth is that Wether Foreign Born or Home Based they all deserve equal opportunity to play for Nigeria, but right now we mainly work with the Home grown at the U17 level and like 2 to 3% of the Foreign born too at the U20 level...

Right now am confused as to where Coach Randy Waldrum would play Tony Payne in the Superfalcon starting 11...

He already tried her out in over multiple positions for a Year..

Wing Back, Left Back, Attacking Midfield and as a forward..

I think the key word here is a "well defined intake process". One thing Randy will forever be remembered for his successfully putting nepotism to a pause. I've listened to interviews of almost every new intake to the team and their inclusion was stress free. We however can't center this process around Randy as this will likely end of we engage a new coach. It's important a laid down process be instituted.
