... Yeah, she is but na football age be that... cool, the only guys that real age can be authentic are the ones born outside Nigeria. If you know, you know.
How can that be football age?

She's been with the team since 2003... Spent most of her life in the US

They are 3 in number
one already qualified
Are you saying another one has been cleared from the remaining 2?
.. Two will play atleast, chinney has been granted to play, however, she was granted has a naturalized player. Nneka and Elizabeth williams were denied because they have played for too long for the us national team. The problem is, you can only have one naturalized player on your team. So elizabeth williams and nneka ogumike are appealing to court of abritation, siting development of female basketball in Nigeria. Chinney will play, however, she is apealing being regarded as naturalized pkayer as against being a "national".

You are right sha. She has a better prospect of winning laurels on a big stage with the US team than with our ladies..

... Arike is a good shooter,been following her since her college days, she would have been a good addition to the Nigerian team, however, i dont think she wants to play for us at all, as no interest came from her or her camp whatsoever. We will miss Evelyn Akhator..

... To be honest, i do not know,i have a feeling it is due to injury, because, i never saw her in any of the camps they had recently.

Would you pick him as our starting Point guard ?

It’s sad that the time was too short for CAS to hear the Ogwumike sisters’ appeals..
But I hope they’ll be cleared in time for September’s Women’s Afrobasket.
