Promising Nigerian Attacker Fela Scores Against Favourite Opponents Liverpool  Promising Nigerian frontman Olufela Olomola registered his name on the scorecard as Southampton were held to a 2-2 draw by Liverpool in a Premier League 2 clash at St Mary's on Monday night. The former Arsenal youth-teamer slammed home from inside the box on 69 minutes to double the Saints advantage, but two goals from Harry Wilson, the last coming in stoppage time, earned The Reds a share of the spoils. Liverpool are one of Olomola's favourite opponents, as he netted two goals against the Anfield side on the opening day of the 2016-17 season, back in August. The London native joined the Saints in 2014 and rose through the ranks before making his first-team debut against Sunderland in the League Cup two years later. This season, Olomola has made the matchday squad for first team games four times, against Leicester and Chelsea in the Premier League, Hapoel Beer Sheva in the Europa League and Sunderland in the League Cup.

Rohr : Odey Has To Be Better Than Man City Striker Iheanacho Before Super Eagles Call-Up  Gernot Rohr has explained why Mountain of Fire FC striker Stephen Odey cannot be integrated into the Super Eagles squad for now, ahead of the national team's first competitive fixture of 2017. The 19-year-old Odey is making good progress and his recent strike versus El-Kanemi was his 14th of the season, but he's not up to the quality of Kelechi Iheanacho, according to the German. ''I hope that Stephen Odey can get better because I have a Manchester City striker (Iheanacho) in my team, '' Rohr was quoted as saying by Brila FM. ''Nigeria needs more academies, less synthetic pitches. Nigeria is the biggest football nation in Africa, given the passion''. Based on the recent pronouncement of Rohr, there's little probability of Odey being called up for the African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

Icon4s:Good question. However, I wish to restructure your question to "How do we control age cheating in this Country"? It's achievable if we are determined to do it. First, the The National Population Commission can work hand in hand with Hospitals/Clinics/Health Centres especially where children are given birth, to check age cheating across the Country. National Population Commission of Nigeria in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education (Primary/Secondary Education Institutions) and other relevant institutions can create national data for (e-based) all births all across the nation. It should be made compulsory for all Health Centres in the Country. An e-based and analogue profiles should be maintained. Such data bank can be used to verify ages of people with questionable and conflicting records. Cc; tbaba1234, Komekn, ... *modified* |

CLUB NEWS NPFL U-15: Shooting Stars, ABS in good start in Osogbo  By Tobi Samuel Amazing results were recorded on Matchday 1 of the maiden edition of the NPFL U-15 Promises tournament which served off early hours of Monday at the Osogbo City Stadium for teams in Group C. Remo Stars, Shooting Stars, MFM FC, ABS FC and Sunshine Stars made up Group C in Osun State at the end of which two will qualify for the quarter-final stage. Okoromi David scored the lone goal for ABS FC to pip MFM in the opening game, while Shooting Stars spanked Remo Stars 3-0 to put the championship underway. But it was MFM that got the better chances in the early minutes of the game. Hammed Saheed’s free kick went inches wide on the third minute and two minutes later Atoyebi Gideon shot directly at ABS goalkeeper, Kolawole Sheriff. MFM defence collapsed under sustained pressure from ABS in the 7th minute when Okoromi picked the final pass and beat his marker before he chipped the ball over MFM goalkeeper, Oladunni Habeeb. MFM FC Under-15 head coach, Isiekwene Christian would admit his lads learnt their lessons the hard way. "We conceded early in the game but we were able to create some good moments and shake off the goal. We could have got something positive from the game but we have learnt a hard lesson that would guide us better in the tournament," said Isiekwene to npfl.ng after the game. Olubode Hassan’s hat-trick propelled Shooting Stars to a 3-0 roll over Remo Stars in the second Group C game of Matchday 1. The young star scored the first of his three goals late in the first half in the tough encounter and he followed up with a brace in the second half to complete the first hat-trick of the championship. An elated Shooting Stars Under-15 coach, Monday Ozeibe was quick to rate his boys as favourites to win the group. Ozeibe said: "I wasn't impressed with the first half performance of my boys but we got a late goal in the first half which was the tonic for us. The boys have done better during pre-season matches. The victory has placed us as the favourites to win the group and I believe we are capable of finishing top of the group." Matchday two continues on Tuesday morning with Sunshine Stars making their tournament debut against ABS FC while Remo Stars and MFM FC battle for their first win of the tournament. npfl.ng/index.php/news-features/club-news/2157-npfl-u-15-shooting-stars-abs-in-good-start-in-osogbo 1 Like |

Another Hattrick King is Unearthed... CLUB NEWS NPFL U-15: Akwa Utd, FC Ifeanyiubah serve notice to rivals  By Fisayo Dairo A 13-minute hattrick by Akwa United's Elisha Aniefiok Jonah was the opening day highlight at the Nigeria Professional Football League Under-15 Promises tournament at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri on Monday. Owerri, one of the two centres playing hosts to the best of Under-15 talents across NPFL clubs this week is also having former African champions, Enyimba, FC Ifeanyiubah, Rivers United and Abia Warriors as the other teams that will showcase their budding talents for five consecutive days. It was Akwa United that blazed the trail on Monday when they outclassed Abia Warriors 5-0 in the centre's opening match. The only team that had its club chairman in attendance on opening day, the young guns from Uyo - who were buoyed by Paul Bassey's quick return from Kano, venue of the senior team's historic away win on Sunday - dominated play from start to finish. It took Elisha Jonah just four minutes to invite some deserved attention to himself when he struck Warriors' crossbar with a dipping volley from 20 yards. His team went ahead though on 16 minutes through Uwana Akpan's deflected effort before Archibong Archibong's free kick went all the way into the net. Jonah owned the second half and scored the first of his treble on 56 minutes before adding another with a finish from the outside of his boot six minutes later. He completed his hattrick from the penalty spot in the 69th minute after Warriors' Bobson Samuel handled inside the box. After the game, hattrick hero Jonah told www.npfl.ng he hopes to break into the Akwa United senior team in the next four years. "I thank God for my performance because it is the first time I will score a hattrick in a tournament like this," begun Jonah. "I always watch the senior team when I have (the) chance and I believe I can play for them in the next four years," added the youngster whose role model in the Akwa United team is Ubong Friday. In Owerri's other game on Monday, two first half goals from captain Samuel Salau and striker Adam Azeez lifted FC Ifeanyiubah to a 2-0 win over Enyimba. Salau scored on 17 minutes when the Enyimba defence failed to clear their lines before Azeez finished off a pass from Babatunde Bello in the 30th minute to seal victory for his side. Coach of the losing side, Chidozie Agu attributed his team's loss to his players' inability to quickly settle into the game. "Of course you know they are kids and they are just experiencing this for the first time," he said. "You see they came back better in the second half but it was a little late. I am sure they will do well in their next game," added Agu. In Tuesday's action, Rivers United will face Abia Warriors at 2pm before the marauding teens from Uyo, Akwa United face Enyimba at 4pm. npfl.ng/index.php/news-features/club-news/2158-npfl-u-15-akwa-utd-fc-ifeanyiubah-serve-notice-to-rivals 2 Likes 1 Share |

Tottenham's Nigerian talent Moroyin Omolabi wins praise after switching to centre-back Dan Coombs @hitcdancoombs Tottenham's under-18s won this weekend. White Hart Lane Teenage striker Reo Griffiths bagged a hat-trick this weekend as Tottenham Hotspur's under-18s won 3-2 over Norwich. Griffiths, 16, has had an impressive season in the club's academy and he continues to mark his card as a big talent to watch for the future, having represented England at youth level. Another less well touted prospect is Nigerian youngster Moroyin Omolabi, who joined Tottenham's academy as a central midfielder. After the weekend's game he was picked out for praise having switched positions, featuring in central defence. Tottenham head of development John McDermott told the club's website: "Moroyin Omolabi, playing at centre-half, stood out against their front players who were very good. "There were a lot of positives today and I was very proud of the way we played." Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino with head of coaching and development John McDermott during training It was the third match Tottenham's under-18s had played in eight days, and made it back to back wins in the league. Tottenham's team sit top of their table, in the second phase of the campaign, with four games remaining, and can end the season on a high. Griffiths' hat-trick was his first at under-18 level, and with Tottenham's youngsters supplementing the first team's success in recent seasons, it seems their academy is showing no sign of slowing down it's production of young talent. www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/04/09/tottenhams-nigerian-talent-moroyin-omolabi-wins-praise-after-swi/ 1 Like |

Nigeria Professional Football League News HOW THE NPFL U-15 LEAGUE WILL WORK- SHEHU DIKKO  The U15 Youth League as you know we are working with LaLiga to put it together and the overall objective is to get the clubs to jumpstart their Youth Programs. Indeed, we have taking note of the School calendar and thus the project is PRELIMINARY planned subject to further amendments to take place on this format. 1. The 20 clubs have been devided into 4 groups. 2. Each club would be required to form an U15 team principally comprising of kids within their catchments area. 3. Each team would be required to appoint an U15 coaches by Jan/Feb 2017. Our advise here is for clubs to appoint much younger coaches to head this department for obvious reasons so we can also use this to build a new generation of coaches. 4. LaLiga would send in experts by Feb/march 2017 to train this U15 coaches on specific of youth players coaching, scouting and Management. You know this is also a speciality field. 5. By march 2017 clubs would have had their teams set up with trained coaches managing them and indeed having their trainings and preparations. 6. By April 2017, when the schools would have been on holidays, the league competition will take place with each of the 4 groups of the clubs converging at a neutral venue to play a round robin league and the top two from each group goes to the quarter final, then we play the semi finals and the finals to have winners. We can all actualized this within one month. We can also structure the quarter finals, semi finals and finals to be opening matches for some of the top league matches and some might be on TV. 7. During the tournament LaLiga would send out scouts to Look at the boys and also assist the club coaches technically. We believe also our U17 coaches and also the clubs scouts would be looking. 8. At the end an Allstar Team of the U15 will be selected across all the clubs and would LIKELY in the summer be taking to Spain to play in the LaLiga PROMISAS tournament comprising the U15 teams of all the top clubs in Spain among other clubs invited globally. 9. With this done and the possibilities we would be jumpstarting our NPFL youth league and by next season we would see how to increase the number of games and there would be incentive for each club player selected to the U15 Allstar and also for each player that made his club main team within say 2 years. 10. BUT NOTE this structure is the preliminary structure being envisaged and is subject to further amendments based in exigencies of of the situation. So any suggestions can be welcome 11. We have already approached some corporates that are engaging in organizing youth football tournaments to see if they can redirects and situate their sponsorships within this NPFL Youth League structure.

Rivers United Messi Set To Take The NPFL By Storm  Best Deemua is one of the hottest, albeit unheralded prospects, in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). Little known outside his immediate surroundings, the Rivers United starlet is highly rated by teammates, coaches and fans of the Port Harcourt club. He made his debut in United’s 4-0 win over Kaduna United in the Federation Cup (Nigeria’s oldest football competition) last season and shone like a million stars. The then 17-year-old slotted into the trequarista role saddled upon him by technical manager, Stanley Eguma with aplomb and dictated play in midfield with the guile of a veteran. He provided the assist for a stupendous goal by Chinonso Okonkwo and was overwhelming choice for the man of the match (MOTM) award as United won at a canter at the Aper Aku Stadium, Makurdi. Best was arguably United’s best performer in pre-season this year as head turning performances consistently characterized his appearances for last season’s NPFL runners up. The 18-year-old finally got his chance in the big time on Sunday as he was given the nod to start Rivers United’s match day 17 NPFL game away to Gombe United. It wasn’t exactly a debut to set the pulses racing as a psychologically-brittle Rivers United side struggled for fluidity and cohesion early on at the Pantami Stadium. In the midst of all the chaos however, Deemua did show some sparks of magic and the consensus amongst many who saw the contest was that big things are to be expected from the ‘little man’ in the coming days.

Manchester City Nigerian Wonderkid Dele-Bashiru In Contention To Face Stoke City  Manchester City attacking midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is in line to return to the starting line-up when his team trade tackles with Stoke City in the second leg of the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup on Monday night. Despite playing an important role for the Citizens in the earlier rounds of the competition, manager Lee Carsley started him on the bench against the Potters in the first leg at City Academy Stadium. Previewing the tie, City wrote on their official website : “Tom Dele-Bashiru was the unlucky one in the first leg. Having played a key role in earlier rounds, the midfielder was reduced to a substitutes’ berth as City opted for the pace of Luke Bolton and the striking power of Nmecha with Diaz operating in Dele-Bashiru’s central role. “Will Carsley go with the side that clearly worked so well in the first leg or will he have some more surprises up his sleeve?” Manchester City have one foot in the final of the FA Youth Cup after thrashing the opponents 6-0 in the first leg on March 10. The 17-year-old Tom Dele-Bashiru started against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Southampton, while he came off the bench in games with Reading and Stoke City.

Alhassan Ibrahim – Failed Arsenal Target,Once Rated Ahead Of Iheanacho Turning Heads In NPFL  The story of Akwa United free scoring midfileder Alhassan Ibrahim popularly referred to as Mu’azam won’t be complete without visiting the issues that stifled his growth. Back in 2012 when Nigeria U-17 coach Manu Garba finished screening for the next badge of cadet players for Nigeria, the one player whose name was on everybody’s lips was Ibrahim Alhassan. The midfielder who loves to play just behind the main striker was a beauty to behold during the qualifiers for the African U-17 Youth Championship which was hosted by Morocco in 2013. Mu’azam missed out on the tournament after falling short of the mandatory MRI Scan, but English Premier League giants have seen enough in the two qualifiers against Niger Republic and Guinea Conakry, hence they slapped in a bid for his services. His agent (names withheld) killed the deal, when he insisted on taking control of negotiations instead of working in tandem with the intermediary who brought the interest from the English Premier League giants. He subsequently tried out with some clubs in Europe but an ankle injury stopped him from joining any of the teams despite his performance, and his lack of club football subsequently cost him a spot in the 2015 Nigeria U-20 team for the World Youth Championship. That exclusion happened to be the kick he needed to get his career back on track, as he joined Wikki Tourist last year and played a role inGodwin Obaje emerging as the highest goal scorer in the league. He moved to Akwa United before the start of thisseason, and his form has once again gone back to 2012 where he was the big hit in a Nigeria team ahead of the likes of Manchester City Kelechi Iheanacho and Watford’s Isacc Success. So far he has found the back of the net seven times as a pseudo striker, a strike rate that has made him one of the feared forwards in the Nigeria Professional Football League, and a show of why Arsenal pulled the stop to sign him in 2012. * Ade Emmanuel http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/03/alhassan-ibrahim-failed-arsenal-target-once-rated-ahead-of-iheanacho-turning-heads-in-npfl/ |

Chambeshi backs brave Zambia to lift Afcon title  Following their 1-0 win over South Africa in the semifinals of the 2017 U20 Africa Cup of Nations, Zambian mentor Beston Chambeshi has praised his charges. A goal in the extra time ensured the hosts are through to the final of the junior tournament as the Junior Chipolopolo remain favourites. Chambeshi said that Zambia will play to win in the final and has no preference with regards to an opponent as he could face Senegal or Guinea. The second semifinal clash is set to be staged on Thursday to decide the opponents in the final slated for Sunday. “Congratulations to them but I also say bravo to my players who did not give up and wanted to score to qualify before penalties,” Chambeshi said to reporters. “It was a very good match and either team could have won. “For the final, we have no preference whatever the opponent we will play to win it.” As they await to know their opponent, the coach also praised Amajita for the gutsy performance in Wednesday's clash. “South Africa caused us a lot of problems. They had a very good defensive organization that prevented us from developing our attacks,” adds the coach. The final will be staged at National Heroes Stadium on Sunday at 17:30. https://mtnfootball.com/news/693798/Chambeshi-backs-brave-Zambia-to-lift-Afcon-title |

Zambia book U-20 AFCON final berth  Africa U-20 Cup of Nations hosts Zambia have booked their place in the final of the tournament after defeating South Africa 1-0 after extra time on Wednesday evening. The first semifinal at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka was hard-fought affair between the regional rivals, though the young Chipolopolo were worthy winners given the number of chances they created. Zambia were the more forceful team through the first half, but they were unable to create any clear chances with which to test SA goalkeeper Mondli Mpoto. Amajita also struggled to cut open their opponents’ defence, with their best moment in the opening 45 minutes coming from a free kick which saw Luther Singh fire a well-struck shot over the crossbar. The hosts continued to boss the game in the early stages of the second half, but as the match wore on South Africa began to look more and more dangerous. On 68 minutes a free kick effort from Teboho Mokoena almost caught out Zambia goalkeeper Mangani Banda, while Singh headed wide of goal a short while later after meeting a fine cross from the right flank. Zambia still had plenty to offer in attack, though, and on 80 minutes they almost scored a bizarre goal when defender Notha Ngcobo’s clearance rebounded off Enock Mwepu and hit the woodwork. The hosts’ last chance of regulation time arrived less than a minute before the final whistle, with Patson Daka sending a fine effort on target only to be denied by a fine save from Mpoto. The young Chipolopolo continued to spurn scoring chances through extra time, while the match was also halted for a while due to some teargas drifting out on the field of play and affecting the players. The deadlock was finally broken in the second half of extra time. Prosper Chuliya fizzed in a great ball from a free kick and Edward Chilufya’s glancing header had the beating of Mpoto to make it 1-0 to Zambia in the 110th minute. The hosts will face either Senegal or Guinea in the final on Sunday 12 March. The West African sides will meet in the second semifinal, set for Ndola on Thursday. South Africa 0 Zambia (0) (0) 1 (Chilufya 110’) SA: Mpoto, Mukumela, Mthethwa, Malepe, Ngcobo, Mokoena, Meyiwa (Shopane 113’), Margeman (Mbule 101’), Mbatha, Singh, Mayo (Kodisang 54’) Zambia: Banda, Mayembe, Nyondo, S.

Ex Nigeria U-17 Ace Jack Ipalibo Scores Sublime Freekick In Villarreal Rout  Former Nigeria U-17 star midfielder Jack Ipalibo continued his fine for the U-18 of Villarreal with a well taken free kick goal in their 8-0 win over A.D.M Lorqui yesterday. Ipalibo scored the last goal for his team in the 8-0 drubbing by striking a free kick from 30 metres out into the net of the opponent, which left their goalkepper stranded. The 18 year old posted the video of the goal on his facebook page, and immediately became a hit on the internet with most people sharing the video on their wall. Since joining Villarreal in the summer, the midfielder who is largely referred to as Nigeria Yaya Toure in some quarters has emerged as one of the integral team of their U-18 team. Although he is yet to make his debut for the first team, he got a run out with the B team in their friendly game against Nigerian side Rivers United, who are coincidentally from his state of origin in Nigeria. *Ade Santos http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/09/ex-nigeria-u-17-ace-jack-ipalibo-scores-sublime-freekick-in-villarreal-rout/ 1 Like |

This kind of thing can not happen in Ekiti State because their no nonsense Governor can't tolerate such. I weep for my people. This form of ethnic and religious cleansing demonstrated by the Fulanis is totally unacceptable. They tried this in Ekiti State and the Governor spoke out loud and clear. Why are the leaders in Benue afraid to speak? Where are their Senators, House of Reps members, State house of Assembly members and above all their religious leaders? Oh I see all their politicians/leaders are only concerned about milking them dry. Why should a State that massively voted for APC be allowed to suffer in the hands of Terrorists for this long? Where is CAN? Whether we speak out or not, we still been killed so what difference does it makes. |

Cameroon bounce back with comfortable win  Cameroon are back in semifinal contention at the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations after cruising to a 4-1 win over Sudan in Ndola on Thursday. The result at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium sees Cameroon join South Africa at the top of Group B on three points, while Sudan drop to the bottom of the standings on one point. The teams’ true positions will be clarified by the second match later today between SA and Senegal. Cameroon almost opened the scoring with just a few seconds on the clock, as Preston Tabortetaka was denied by goalkeeper Mohamed Saeed and his follow up from the rebound hit the outside of the post. In the ninth minute the West Africans’ early dominance was rewarded with the first goal: Eric Ayuk crossed the right flank, Saeed could only flap at the ball and Ketu Jih was able to direct a shot into the unguarded goal to make it 1-0 to the Indomitable Lions. Just past the half hour mark Jih missed out on a chance to make it 2-0, failing to find the target after Saeed was caught in no-man’s land, while he also sent a point-blank header over the target to ensure the half ended with Cameroon just one goal to the good. Yet the Lions had to wait just seven minutes of the second half before they doubled their lead, with Ayuk heading home from Frabrice Ngah’s cross to net his second goal of the tournament and make it 2-0. The match was put to bed in the 74th minute when Cameroon extended their lead to 3-0. This time captain Samuel Oum Gouet fired home a left-footed volley which travelled through a crowd of players and caught Saeed unawares. Sudan pulled a goal back with 10 minutes to play when Herve Bodiong was caught napping on the ball, allowing Khaled Osman to tee up Walaa Musa to score. It proved to be no more than a consolation for the East Africans, with Cameroon’s right-back Olivier Mbaissidara restoring his side’s three-goal lead with a brilliant solo effort in the 89th minute. Sudan (0) 1 (Musa 80’) Cameroon (1) 4 (Jih 9’, Ayuk 52’, Oum Gouet 74’, Mbaissidara 89’) Sudan: Saeed, Hamad, Waheed, Mustafa, Suliman, Mohamed (Moalad 78’), Sulieman (Mugadam 66’), Osman, Taifour, Hassan, Musa (Gumaa 84’) Cameroon: Simon, Mbaissidara, Ele Ebolo, Bangou, Ngah, Bodiong (Moudoumbou 83’), Oum Gouet, Ayuk (Chenkam 90+3’), Soni (Mpindi 77’), Jih, Tabortetaka mtnfootball.com/mobi/news/692086/Cameroon-bounce-back-with-comfortable-win |
