Kenya’s female Under-17 team has written petition to the Confederation of African Football (CAF), claiming that its Nigerian counterpart fielded an over-aged player in a World Cup qualifier at the weekend.

A top CAF official disclosed that the body has received a formal complaint from Kenya in this respect.

The Nigeria’s Under-17 girls, nicknamed Flamingoes, on Saturday, in Nairobi, started their campaign for a place at this year’s FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup finals on a bright note, when they defeated their Kenyan counterparts 2–0 in a first round, first leg match.

Patience Okaene scored in the 27th and 63rd minutes at the Nyayo National Stadium to set Nigeria on a sure course for a place in the second and final round of the qualifiers in March.
“The girls played well and dominated the game, and they showed the right spirit throughout,” said Aisha Falode, coordinator of Nigeria’s women national teams.

The Flamingoes featured in the two earlier editions of the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup in New Zealand (2008) and Trinidad and Tobago (2010), reaching the quarterfinals in the last edition before losing to eventual winner, South Korea in extra time.

What walks like a duck, quack like a duck, moves like a duck is probably a DUCK!!!!

We would never learn, one of the fruit of our seed is the Super Eagles not qualifying for the ANC!!!

na 2day we don dey do am

Where they expecting to beat Nigeria?
Ghana won cameroon,a team far better than kenya in yaounde by the same scoreline,and there was no cry for blue murder.
Empty vessels make the loudest noise!
Bunch of sore losers!!

but i tink dat d kenyans re stronger dan nigeria

but wat a poor act 4rm d 9ja

Those kenyans are crazy,so because naija beat them means they are over aged? Anyways no be today nyash dey for back,they had better shut up and respect those flamingoes cos some of the flamingoes fit be their mama.

Na only muscle and stamina dem dey use play ball?ever heard of skill,accuracy,body balance,jump power etc,you think say because them gather muscle for body come resemble man mean say them stronger?

If we want to progress in football, we have to allow the real youths play the game. Having said that, I think those girls fielded are officially U17 because the ones being complained about featured in the last U17 world cup as 15 yr olds.

See kenya sev dey accuse person, if not condition wey make Crayfish Bend!

Semanya?
I tot he was a woman.Was nt he/she?

^^ i think the results of the tests were leaked and it turns out she had the hormonal balance of a man- or something like that sha, it was in an australian newspaper.

but the authorities cannot say they didnt no she was a man somehow somehow before!

i trust nigerians, they can even put a toothless 70 years old woman, at the end they will claim she is 15 years old, long live nigeria.

The pix is that of goalkeeper of the female under 17 team.

By the way which of these crimes is lighter?Politicians who steal billions of naira from the public till and a citizen who understates her age usually aided and abetted by NFF officials to eke out a living?

^^^^^ 1 guess she is just 15 years old

The kenyans said the truth. Simple.

That goalkeeper would not look out of place in a veterans team.

On what evidence the Kenyans can go to hell.

Haaaaaaahaa

If the kenyans had won, would they have complained? how are we sure they are not guilty of the same offence we are been accused of? atimes face or physique can be deceptive, two sundays ago i went with a younger friend of mine to meet his would be inlaws in umuahia, towards the tail end of the visit that they call knocking the door, my friend was stylishly told in my presence that when next he his coming he should not come with a small boy.when we got back to PH he called the lady and ask her is a 44yr old man a boy? they all started apologising. physique and face can be deceptive atimes

Generally, Nigerians are of good built, because of our diet.
Wetin dem dey eat for Kenya? cornstarch and sour milk, most of the time.
Wetin dat one go do for body? abegi, make Kenyans eat correct fudu.

Dem sef dey use over age,na only thief go sabi thief wen he see am, all those girls wey carry big breast and nyash na him be under 17? If u wan see real under 17 ,go girls secondary school,dem go still dey ss2 or ss3,

The Goalkeeperess looks a tad older than 17

Mtcheewww, sore losers.

Instead ☺₣ them to accept defeat they go about laying false complaints as if it's their birthright. Which team doesn't field over-aged players sef? How many African women are okay with their sixteen year old daughters playing football and how many African teenage girls prefer kicking Ǟ ball to chatting with friends and having manicures?

when the done had happened there is no need of regretting. The Kenyan team were only taking the case of over age to sand filled the humiliation and disgrace faced at the yard of their house.

Na complex mathematics. If Nigeria win any age competitions these days, people say it is because we fielded over aged players. If we loose, they say we lost as a consequence of having fielded over aged players in the past and now it has caught up with us. We just cant win in some people's jaundiced eyes. Meanwhile every so called Nigerian believes everything negative others say about us. How honest is that and yet we're supposed to be lairs !

bad losers

I am really distressed with what the nigerians presented. The kenyan media exposed a nigerian player who had a child approximatley 8yrs old. The official response to this from the nigerian technical bench was of denials. when the expose was widely shown the nigerian delegation covetiously made a quite exit.
