I really like the babe. I think she got blacklisted by the NFF following her part in protests against unpaid bonuses at the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France.

She's been a great player since 2010 for the super falcons..

Cool

What about the hatrick girl?
When I say girls do it better. Them go think say na feminists thinking.

The Super Falcons deserves more respect from the NFF & Nigerians.

These ladies has brought more positives to Nigeria image than the Eagles.

No Ngozi Okobi.

Time and tide waits for no man..

Our female footballers have really stepped up. I remember when only a few used to play in foreign leagues. The Mercy Akides. 95% of the female national teams used to be local players from Rivers angel, and the many ‘Amazons’ (Even Perpetual Nwokocha). Now they be playing in top European teams. Kudos

Our women's always make us proud.

Girls wey sabi.. If the NFF give just half of the attention they give the male team towards this falcons, They're gonna perform better at the world cup and the AWCON will continue be their training ground..


Most times it's just the female teams that brings smile on the faces of Nigerians..

But the present squad of Europe based players haven't done better for Nigeria than their predecessors who were mostly home based

Nigeria does not have any football team called 'Super Eaglet' maybe you wanted to type Super Falcons.
