I believe we would play better 2mw...The game against China served as a real practise for the girls, though i am sad that we do not have much of creativity on the team atm... However, i believe we would beat Mali, even, if it is 1 point... Btw Mali playing well against France atm..

While I agree with you on some points, the team will still fall short cause of the 3point deficits. This isn't peculiar to this qualifiers, it's been a challenge, hence our early exit from the Olympics. See the Japanese team for instance, the were trailing Canada by as much as 20 points in the 3rd quarter but went on to win the game. Our team definitely has character, the 4th quarter showed that, but we'll always need that extra edge that the 3points give and for now we don't have it even with the full team playing.

... Absolutely our lack of ability to make 3 pointers has been our biggest problem. The only person i have a little bit of confidence in her 3 pointers now is Amy Okonkwo, despite she being a power forward.

PDPGuy:
Damn
This is a complete blow out

....no its not, despite everything it ended at 90-76.....My take, i knew it was going to be hard without Ezinne,Promise and Sarah too me are better off been played as an off guard. Hence why we reallyhad serious problem. One of the older ones in either Elonu or Nyingifa will have to be a make shift guard, to assist promise, as in playing that role fully, Nyingifa did this towards the end of the game. Also we were trying to get the Chinese girls of the glass., hence why we played zone,However, the chinese girls could shoot, hence, it was not so effective, Ultimately, the damage was done in the 1st qtr. We would grow into the tournament, we only need to beat Mali, which i believe, we would. Then, we can go and take care of our house. Since they are done with the election, there should not be any excuse should, we qualify for world cup, at full strength i feel we can actually beat this chinese girls, our girl, had just a session or 2 to train together before today, so i will be easy on them.

They should, they've always shown the qualifiers over years. Can't find anything on their Facebook page as well. They may post it later today though.

.. Well, any other alternative as they have not said anything about it, it seems they wont... You do not want to show an event like that and noy market it o.

Any link for this game... Seems star time wont be showing it.

I stand corrected but I don't think Sarah Ogoke will make it for the qualifiers. Her Instagram story seem to suggest so. It appears we'll be prosecuting the qualifiers with just 9 players. Risky, but we'll know more in the coming days

...i still think she can make it,lets wait and see.

.....well what that means is that everybody go play tire, it is a very odd time to be fair...NCAA is on,so we cant use players during NCAA Season, i.e Elizabeth Balogun...then those old Knuckle head men that used their election to disrupt everything, it is more like a rescue mission for the girls to be fair,so the hope is to just beat Mali. With that we would qualify, we need to manage our fouls. We are really thin in the point guard position. it is well, i have a feeling those old men want these ladies to fail due to the protest, but they will qualify. Na Mali go chop am.

lovewins:
Really hoping we have 3 more players joining and this isn't a depleted version of the squad.

Ezinne Kalu is still recuperating from her injury so she wouldn't be there.

Not sure what the futuristic plan is for the team, but it would have been nice to extend invitations to Arike Ogunbowale and Michaela Onyewere. Michaela was rookie of the season in the WNBA and she identifies proudly with her Nigerian roots

... Yeah, i know about Ezinnes injury, i do not think Arike wants to play for us,she wants to play for the USA, Micheala i was hoping she would get an invitation based on Ezinnes injury and also she would bring a lot to the team...

promise is the only point guard in the pic, i am guessing Sarah Ogoke, and Pallas will be joining them soon.

D tigress photoshoot,wondering who the last 3 players will be.

@ Schemerkhiz

Didn't Glory Ogbonna get a straight red card against Ghana (2nd leg of AWCONQ in Accra on 24 Oct, 2021 - 69th min)?
How is she eligible to play this game when she is suspended for 2 games at least? Or did Nigeria appeal and win the appeal? If so, when did that happen because no one heard about it.

If no appeal was made and granted by CAF/FIFA, then it makes no sense inviting her for this fixture. If she is used in the match, that is an automatic forfeiture of the game and Nigeria will be disqualified. This match has FIFA and CAF oversight. The same goes for the previous matches played in the ABC (a FIFA sanctioned event). All those players who got yellows and reds over the past 4 SF matches NEED to be flagged so that we don't get kicked out due to some administrative error on the part of the NFF because of someone not doing their homework. ...

This really needs to be flagged.

Good morning Nairalanders,

It's your girl Ms Travelin Diva!

Wrapping up my trip to Louisville, and it was EVERYTHING! Background, we came to Kentucky strictly for the Bourbon trail, but we did get in a few museums and some art during our stay.

We split our trip between Louisville and Bardstown which I highly recommend given the distances between the distilleries. Bardstown is a very cute and lovely town and definitely worth the visit for a few days.

Started the Kentucky Bourbon Trail at the "Frazier Museum" (also visited 21c Museum), and I visited the following 10 distilleries (over 4 days) and tasted their Bourbons:

Evan Williams
Michter’s Fort Nelson
Jim Bean
Angels Envy
Maker’s Mark
Barton 1792
Heaven Hill
Preservation Distillery
Lux Row
Wilett Distillery

Food: In Louisville, we dined at Proof on Main, Le Moo, Repeal, Biscuit Belly and Back Deck BBQ (black owned). In Bardstown we dined at Cinco De Mayos and Pat’s Family Diner.

Lodging: We stayed at the Hotel Distil in Louisville and the Fairfield Inn Marriott Bardstown.

Now a little history regarding Bourbon. Nearly 95% of the world’s Bourbon is produced in Kentucky. All Bourbon is Whisky but not all Whisky is Bourbon. There’s no law mandating that bourbon must be produced in Kentucky, although it might seem that way given the state’s dominance in distilling the distinctive corn-based, barrel-aged whiskey (however, to be called a Bourbon, it must be produced in the U.S.).

So is there something in Kentucky’s water that has caused the bourbon industry to flourish? In fact, there is. The state sits atop vast deposits of blue limestone, which filters out hard iron and imparts sweet-tasting calcium and magnesium.

If Louisville (or the Bourbon Trail) is on your radar, you will not be disappointed spending a few days or even a week here!

Here are a few pictures from my visit. Enjoy and Happy Travels!

Live. Laugh. Love

....welcome back........ ,

FTMO Interview Request!

---

This is the 3rd Interview request I will be receiving from these guys, the 1st two were rejected, I do not want my face out there! Now another interview request is here based on my recent withdrawal where I made 95.65% Win rate from 46 trades and a total profit of US$19,113.00.

What do you guys think? Accept or Ignore?

.................you do not have to accept if you are not comfortable yet.......for them, it is marketing, if you are not comfortable doing it, no need to do it yet...

D’Tigress end year ranked 15th in the world!

They should be the highest ranked Nigerian national team in any team sport..

... No actually, the super eagles were once ranked 5th in the world...

end of 3rd qtr Ngr 67 :Ugd 45...we need to win by 21 points to top this group....

Final Score

Nigeria 72pts Mali 70pts

NB:

Really impressed at the comeback. The boys rose to the occasion and clinched the needed win. Still a long way to go, but good job guys

.. Startimes cutted the game off at 3rd qtr.... Blame nobody... Anybody out there representing Naija should be hailed.... No preparation what so ever, coach does not know his players etc.. Let sha get a few wins, no matter how ugly it looks.

steady986:
That's terrible of you to say. Even though the Morris brothers are known for dirty plays, they've never caused anyone to miss multiple games through injury. Two wrongs cannot make a right.. Will you be saying this if Stewart for instance got through to LeBron and injured him and made him miss multiple games? A wrong or hard basketball play is different from a blatant act of non-basketball violence, and we don't condone that.

......Listen, first off, i am glad you said that the morris brother are known for dirty play,so they should taste what they dish, and maybe a little more, what is happening is bigger than what you saw....What Morris did, is trying to roughen Jokic up a little bit and act like nothing happened,trying to get him off his rhythm, i love the message Jokic sent back....I am no punk.....As regards the lebron saga...first of, lebron is not known to play dirty, secondly, if you watch that play, you would see that Isiah had his hand on Lebrons back/Rib cage, it is only natural to shake that hand off you,also Lebron went over to apologize immediately,but isiah was not having it. Also, who told you that because isiah was running towards lebron, he would be able to injure....lmao.....I need the old school basketball men......Them days of Oakley, pistons....

steady986:
Just a reminder that Markieff Morris still hasn't played a game since Jokic inflicted that blindside whiplash on him. That's 9 games now. Plus he hasn't travelled with his team for their four-game roadtrip. Imagine some people compared his whiplash to an elbow. I can't believe some people even accused him of flopping.

....a little taste of their own medicine(morris brothers), do not dish what you can not take.....lmao..He got what he deserved....
