I will believe the governors own more than the president, cos that 10 m each is within their budget,

But you see that #100,000, lemme not talk fes
Now everyone wan host them. They should allow these ladies relazz and go back home abeg. Chai.

All these for the pleasure of these old men that belch with laughter and can't reason beyond their nose. 😂😂

Let's see if the 100k will be audio. But i doubt it is Audio sha.

AkinDS:
And what exactly is your Zidane going to do? She would be clearly out of her league, as she does not have a defensive bone in her body. Ditto that for Moshood. Idoko is not half as good as Favour Emmanuel who should be the one to complement the current midfield. The SF needs players with the best lungs, who are pacy and can offer value upfront and in defense.
Neither of the players you mentioned offer this.
She will do just what she can offer to the team. Same for Idoko. Whether there is someone better now or later, these two have skill sets that i can say we need. There is still Peace Efih again. But everyone can't agree with all from the talent pool.

I personally don't want to think it is just about lungs sha.

All the governors dey open purse now cos e be like auction for them now. If e reach to help state owned NPFL or NWFL club now, we go dey hear

"The monies need processing"
"We are working on it"
"The committee involved will handle it and get back to us"
"When it is due, everyone will be paid. That i can tell you"
"Trust me, i know what im saying"
"They'll have to be patient as these things is not rocket or danfo"
"We have taken care of the logistics. Don't peddle false narratives"


And other blahhhs to the bala and the bluee that can paint a rainbow black blue.

I hope this doesn't bring one potential narrative in future where if they ask for what is due, they'll call them ungrateful sha.

In attack we could have:

Ihezuo, Edna, Oshoala, Kanu, Monday, Okafor, Esther, Babajide, Ajibade, Ijamilusi
Make they add Zidane and Idoko join for Midfield, it won't be a bad idea for Moshood too.

Was waiting for this.

This looks like an "all lives matters" list. Nigeria should have at least 2 persons in defence if they are being serious. I guess they wanted the love to go round.
Chai. See who they say better pass Plumptre and Demehin.

At this rate, it looks like we haven't recovered one bit from the 2019 APOTY voting controversy. Will that repeat itself this time around for Rasheedat? undecided

Falcon players with dual nationality. Okoronkwo, the current best is missing from this shot.

It haf do sha. Agenda journalist, make una no exceed this quota grin grin grin. bring in and take out as necessary.
But leave space for our girls from Mushin to come out of the hood and carry their family on their backs.
Ahhhh. Who shot this? I thought i saw this moment on a clip and she was near the stands.

My own was there was just to much disorganized moments after we colet trophy. Event planner for do better order of events.

From the annoying white tops that were shabbily made to the way pics were taken....

They go give contract to who no sabi better thing. Even the speckled too and shorts were too big for most of the players. 😞😫

For me, my favourite goalkeeper in super falcons history so far (not the most accomplished though) is Alaba Jonathan. Chiamaka and Oluehi comes close then Precious Dede.
Oluehi was pivotal in 2019. O my my. Especially the final. That was OG levels of Performance from her. Now she's won another WAFCON alongside Ayinde and co.


I wished those non starters got minutes sha. E dey somehow as they no kick ball. But we are champs anyway.

Ann as Assistant coach on a low. She try.

The fact is people have taken it the tribal way and that pisses me off totally. One can't make an true assessment of performance without someone bringing the ingredients of bigotry into it. It is insane.


What's even more astonishing is, if two or three oyinbo sport journos came and said Esther deserved the MVP, and wrote a thread on twitter, dem go still attack am but not as much as when it is a Nigerian tweeting that.


I hate this trajectory. Why do i have to infuse tribal angles to justify my own tribal person when i just need constrictive criticism to assess performance?

Na the same folks(from different tribes in Nigeria) go argue Messi and Ronaldo and not an inkling of bigotry will be involved. It will all be stats, stats, evidence, cheeky banters, more stats, instances and anything that this person could do that the other couldn't.

Until e turn 2 Nigerians.

Infact we don't used to do like this for Nigerian footballers before. We have seen a Osimhen vs Aghahowa and Aiyegbeni, a Osaze vs Moses, and the likes but no tribal angles. We know where this nonsense started sha.


Pages ago, before this final ended, i gave my own choice of who deserves the MVP. Nothing concern me with tribalism. I say it as it is. But here we are. And now more are fueling it beyond normal to a sickening degree.

My POV is you can't influence a remontada final that way and be ignore for that award. But there's a track of POTMs already with Rash(which i don't agree with most anyway).
I hope this doesn't get to a viral level where both teammates begin to dey do their selves one kine one kine. It's that toxic.


We go dey alright.

Quick question ;

Who’s d better goalkeeper Btw Dede precious and chiamaka Nnadozie ?
Nnadozie undisputed. Many of the goals Dede conceded were totally avoidable if she at least moved or dived. She didn't make an attempt that my mum that used to watch Falcons that year used to be pissed sort of. She had good games though but those funny goals conceded, compared to Nnadozie......


Chiamaka is the better GK

Alozie is not even the best defender in our backline.

Is this a result of that terrible 1st half performance or what? Like howwwwww.

Esther as LW? 😂😂

North Africans generally just have very poor sportsmanship, and they don't really try to hide it. It's why I never root for them in any major tournament.

Sometimes, they remind me of South American teams like Uruguay and Argentina with the way they rely on antics and generally display superiority complex over African sides.
Its obviously a south American influence. They've modified it and made it even worse😂😂😂😂

CAF no wan address all that kine levels. Yet Fifa made rules adjustment when Cameroon gk was holding ball too much that year o. They supposed address the antics and faux dramatizing. Only then they'll realize it's no longer an advantage. But caf dey troway face. Smh

BTW, the Super Falcons will receive $1 million (N1.5 billion) as prize money
Actually, nff don cut the cake prior to now. Only $330k will land in the players hands asides the owed bonuses and allowances. 670k to NFF coffees for their unimaginable non-sporty pleasures.

As of today, we are hearing they want to pay the 330k in naira and not dollars. NFF and controversy are Siamese twins. That body dey behave like bureau de change. Once money don pop up, they display unsportsmanlike xtics. 😂

Post match press conference.

Jorge Vilda blames referee for Morocco's loss. He said that the only team that was above them in the tournament was Zambia.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1xJCjxu6-M?si=Wp2hJLBC6or1CVtu
This one no sabi better press conference. Madugu even better pass him for this conference level by far. Make he return go spain by ferry. Na 1hr at least. The former Moroccan manager still sabi talk pass am. Lol

Zambia ke? Two player zambia? What of Ghana that showed tact and physical against his team? 😂

He sabi read game sha. But his chochocho na G10.

We will finish every average team if they infuse tiki taka into their game
We’d be able to play dynamic football
Whether it be physical, technical short passes or aerial balls
Multiple tools in their arsenal
We’d be complete
Sadly, average team no dey world cup level. What Jspn alone dey do teams ehn😂

If we stopped at Quarters last time out, we need to strive to match that this time. Meaning the right boxes must be ticked. Especially tactically preparation for potential opponents style of play.

The officiating was balanced. There's a reason i say it was opposite of the 2022 one. Like they cancel pk for us? Omo. That wouldn't have happened in the 2022 semifinal vs Morocco. Lol.

We knew she was a candidate as at semifinal levels. She dropped a goal but was outshone by Esther who gave 3G/A in a final. Esther and Ajibade wey also candidates as well. Ajibade via accumulated POTM and Esther via her GA contributions.

Franny played but was injured after the zambian game. You didn't see her in the trophy parade with pop on her leg? I wished chioma got at least 2 mins as part of time wasting sub. But 0 mins so far.
