Player of the Tournament for Nigeria?
Esther Okoronkwo easily wins this for me, followed by Ihezuo and then Ijamilusi

Kindly drop your email or hit me up at greatmaxon@gmail.com

Thanks.

Any method that cannot be discussed openly here means that it's an unofficial hack. It might or might not work. You might or might not be scammed

Ijamulusi, her 2 goals were tap ins. But the 2 penalties we won were also created by her.

Congratulations to the Team and to the Coaching Crew.
Special congratulations to Esther Okoronkwo, my woman of the tournament.
She has the energy, skill and sense.
Her excellent long freekick skills gave us 3 goals. (2 against Zambia, 1 against Morocco today).
Plus her selflessness to create chances and give an assist.
🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 Green White Green till I die!!!

Payme.and Onumonu for Abiodun and Ijanulusi?

6 defence minded players, not enough attackers. We ain't creating chances. He should take one of Abiodun/Ayinde off and bring someone offensive.

Your team is 2 nil down, you're squeezing face instead of tactical discussions with your assistant. Our Coach oh!

Seems Abiodun comes in for Echegini.
Abiodun wey dey collect card, dey break people leg on the steady.
Would have preferred an attack minded player like Payne instead.

Google recently terminated my developer account for what they called high risk behaviour

Account I recently created with my international passport and business document and already have 2 live apps

I helped a client online to build a project and used similar code I used for his app to build my own app countdown timer

My clients account was terminated and within 48hrs my own account also got terminated due to guilty by association

I really need to come back on play console

My friend is ready to lend me his own identity to make a new account...

I'm looking for a group to join and use as guidance so I don't make any mistakes this time

I'm really really down right now

And my app had about 10k downloads within a month 😢

It' s been 8 months, how have you been coping as a programmer? Any chance you got the account back?

SunshineIHCTS:
I'm done developing my app and want to hire someone to upload it to Google Play store. The person will handle the Play store account, app testing and publishing after production is approved.

Interested people should comment their WhatsApp contact.

Update on this?

Onetechnews:
The emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a mobile developer. On the outside, it looks sweet. You’re the tech genius. You build apps, fix bugs, and make digital magic happen. People assume you’re living your best life in front of a screen, with coffee in one hand and big tech dollars rolling in. Behind that screen is a human being going through a lot.

Here are some of the hidden battles many mobile developers fight daily:

1. The Endless OS Updates

You just finished optimizing your app for Android 13, and boom, Android 14 drops. Or you’re dancing with joy because your iOS app is finally stable, then Apple decides to change its policies or introduce new frameworks. You can’t catch a break.

How does it feel? Like building a house on sand. Every time you finish, something shifts.

2. Device Fragmentation

You test on your device. Everything looks great. Then someone with a different screen size or OS version downloads your app and sends you a 3-paragraph complaint about the “ugly layout” or “crashing experience.”

3. App Store Rejections

You poured your soul into building the app. Tested, re-tested, begged friends to break it, and finally, you submitted it to the store. Then comes the heartbreak: “Your app has been rejected for violating policy XYZ.” it feels? Like planning a wedding for months, only to get stood up at the altar.

4. Performance Issues

Lag, slow loading times, memory leaks… sometimes you fix one issue and five more crawl out from the code like roaches after lights go off.

5. Unrealistic Expectations

Your client or boss wants a clone of Instagram in two weeks with a ₦50,000 budget. You try to explain the complexities, but they say, “But it’s just an app.”

6. Keeping Up with Trends

There’s always a new framework, a new tool, a better way to do things. You blink, and suddenly your skills feel outdated.

7. Mental Burnout

When you spend 10 hours a day trying to debug, optimize, and solve problems that only get worse with stress, burnout starts creeping in. Slowly. Silently. Until one day, you open your laptop and feel… nothing.

8. Poor Internet and Power (Especially in Nigeria)

This one hit differently. You’re in the zone, finally making progress, and NEPA strikes. Or your internet decides to switch off like it’s on break.

9. Underappreciation

People see the app but don’t see the nights you didn’t sleep. They don’t see the anxiety, the debugging stress, the failed attempts, or the sacrifice.

Conclusion

Being a mobile developer isn’t just about writing code. It’s about resilience, patience, and silent strength. If you’re a mobile developer reading this, just know, you are seen. Your struggles are valid. And even when no one says it, what you do matters.

Keep building. The world needs your magic, even if it doesn’t always say thank you.

Awww, I feel you. Though every sector of tech can write a similar tale of woe in their own fashion.
Learning React Native is a top item on my bucket list. Thanks for the heads up. Lols

Nice game of football between Ghana and South Africa. Passes are flowing. I must say both teams look very youthful. Not too many Tom boys too. Proper curves everywhere.👍🏾😋

Truidstarr:
If Justin Madugu could pull a Clemens Westerhof move of 94 (Starting Amuneke who scored the 2 goals in the final against Zambia) by starting Chioma Okafor...the Moroccans won't see that coming.

How many people dey under Chioma Okafor payroll here? Haba!!!

daveP:
She was lost today mehnn. This should be the last attempt of Rash and JOE together henceforth. I thought it would work considering one is a work machine and the other is on flair. But e no work atalllll. The Roles given Esther and Ihezuo when SA was playing out from the back pushed the middle to farr out of reach and that affected building down the middle if Esther wasn't involved.

If Echegini is injured for the finals, Coach shouldn't make the mistake of going defensive with Ucheibe or Abiodun. he should start Payne ASAP!

semid4lyfe:
Asisat don retire from the Super Falcons. This AFCON is her last appearance for the team. She listened to her body and read the room so I applaud her decision and wish her well in her future endeavours.

Go well our GOAT of African football.

Person dey retire midway in tournament?
Make them no select her for remaining games?
I find this very confusing

WAFCON IN 2022, South Africa, Morocco and Zambia all beat Nigeria.

WAFCON in 2025. Nigeria beat Zambia. South whipping loading, and we finish the job against Morocco (most likely).🙏🏾

mostob:
Since when you don dey crush on that lady eh. When they return from Morocco, try and meet her.
If mountain no come meet Mohammed, Mohammed will go and meet mountain.

If Colin Udoh as a journalist can toast and marry Mercy Akide, then so can you

semid4lyfe:
Coach Madugu is intelligent and smart.
He speaks well, answers questions without giving too much away and most importantly he avoided the bobby traps that were set for him, like that question on officiating.

Can any one share a Bio of Coach Madugu, where he played, teams coached in past etc.
Well done to him!

ekehopp2:
New comer, wellcome.
14 Dimenhin and 18 Ayinde are sure starters.
My predicted lineup:

---++±------++Okoronkwo
--Babajide-----Echegini-----Ajibade
------------Ayinde---+Ucheibe
Plumptre--Dimehin---Ohale--Alozie
--------------+++Nnadozie

Ihezuo and/or Payne might play instead. Depends on Coach's analysis .

Almost like i predicted but with

Ihezuo for Ucheibe
Ijamulusi for Babajide

So effectively

-------------++Okoronkwo
--Ihezuo----Echegini----Ijamulusi--Ajibade
--------------------Ayinde--
Plumptre--Dimehin---Ohale--Alozie
--------------+++Nnadozie

We will likely also be wearing our new white jersey for the first time competitively.

solonnachi:
Today makes it the 13th day since the commencement of WAFCON 2024, Madugu should cap this Okafor girl. She may be the joker he is talking about. Hope todays game will not go into penalties ooo. We need to finish this game within 90 minutes.

If she's fit, she'll get minutes.
But just goes to show money and it's influence on selections in Nigeria. Cos this is just giving all vibes of Tinubu and medical tourism. Where the ill-fitted get the juicy positions as far as they can press the right buttons.

Walahi I miss Randy. He will never take an unfit player to a tournament.
And if by chance the injury was found out before first game, player would be replaced ASAP.
But of course money has changed hands and Chioma Okafor must stay make money for no loss.

Idiko1:
If Nigerian falcons bring players with jersey numbers 13, 14, 18 and 21 to the game, there is 75% chance Zambia will win the match. In addition, if the falcons players failed to properly trap the ball and seek out teammates in better position to score, the odd increases in the favor of Zambians.

New comer, wellcome.
14 Dimenhin and 18 Ayinde are sure starters.
My predicted lineup:

---++±------++Okoronkwo
--Babajide-----Echegini-----Ajibade
------------Ayinde---+Ucheibe
Plumptre--Dimehin---Ohale--Alozie
--------------+++Nnadozie

Ihezuo and/or Payne might play instead. Depends on Coach's analysis .

Deltamani:
I would have picked Fransisca Ordega to start from the Left flank as well considering she’s very strong and quite fast as well, she can deal with their RB and allow Plumptre forward a little bit…

If not for OSINACHI Ohale age, I don’t think Barbra Banda is anything to worry about consider the caliber of Fast and Physical Strikers Ohale have handled in the past…

We also have a dependable Halimatu Ayinde and Christy Ucheibe who can minimize their threat as well considering how they thrive in this kind of Physical games..

My Problem is our combination upfront… Ajibade must play from the wing, bench Toni Payne as she might struggle in this kind of physical game..

Babajide/Franny — Ihezuo/Oshoala — Ajibade

Then remove Echegini when she’s tired and move Rash to the Midfield later, bring in Esther to the right wing… Or you can as well move Rash to the Left and bring in Abiodun to the seal up the midfield…

The set up against England at the last World Cup is good enough to run them down, only Kanu that’s currently not in the team…!

But Fransisca Ordega is greedy oh. She wants her name on the score sheet by all means. See the chance that was thrown away because she refused to pass to Ihezuo, and instead did a funny 360*. Okoronkwo would not have done same.
She needs to get it out of her head that she needs to prove a personal point. We don't really care, all we need is a goal, present the ball to the person with the best chance of scoring.

AkinDS:
Edna Imade signed by Bayern Munchen.

Congratulations to her - really proud of her accomplishments.
If not for that buffoon Magudu, who refused to invite her when he should have, she could’ve been a Super Falcon running the frontline at this WAFCON. What a complete dullard!

Lols, you cannot please everybody. There are only 24 spots, not enough to go around. Make una calm down.
And the funny thing is, you never hear all this tantrums over our home grown players coming from U17 or U20.
Always always over foreign born players.
WOWO (We Only Want Oyibo). #SMH

Team list, only Demehin, Nnadozie and Ajibade keep their place. Fresh legs!

---------Nnadozie

[quote author=lovewins post=136081328]Oh

I didn't know Oshoala stormed off the pitch when she was substituted in the last game. Many obviously didn't know because no one here brought it up.

Osasu asked the coach about it and here was his response:

I asked ⁦@NGSuper_Falcons⁩ coach Justin Madugu at Saturday’s #WAFCON MD-1 presser whether disciplinary action will be taken against Asisat Oshoala for storming off the pitch after being substituted in their last game against #Botswana. Hear his reply… pic.twitter.com/0uZJNesAQH

— Osasu Obayiuwana (@osasuo) July 12, 2025

love Osasu; he is confident tackling issues without fear of the Nigerian system. He has been removed from it.

The Naija system is so corrupt and malfunctioning that the only way our top national football teams can function is by having a manager who does not need to conform to the system. Doesn't need to beg or kiss ass for the job, made his/her name in their own right. So will demand a reasonable salary and will pick players on merit to achieve results, and not because of any kickbacks or undue influence from different quarters. That's why I miss Randy Waldrum, and why Eric Chelle's appointment is a good one.

We have a tough path ahead of us

QF vs Zambia
SF vs South Africa
Finals vs Morocco

While Morocco has the simpler task.
It is well.

PDPGuy:
For Sunday’s game vs Algeria, this line up won’t be bad

————————-Oluehi———————

—-Alozie——-S.Oladipo—Ohale——-Plumptre—-

——————-Ayinde——Ucheibe————-

————————-Echegini——————-

———Ajibade——-Ihezuo——Babajide——

The likes of Chioma, Okoronkwo and Onumonu can come in in the 2nd half

Nope, QF starting line up should 100% be

————————-Nnadozie———————

—-Alozie——-Ohale—Demehin——-Plumptre—-

——————-Ayinde——Ucheibe————-

————————-Echegini——————-

———Ajibade——-Okoronkwo——Ihezuo——

For the final group game. Coach should change the whole starting 11 and give other players game time.

Same starting line up. Coach no get liver.
I would have dropped Oshoala for Okoronkwo.
Anyways we will most def Top group, and meet either Morocco or Zambia in Quarter Finals.
Be prepared!

AkinDS:
Very very impressive commentary run by Desire Oparanozie.
From knowledge of the game and diction, I was in awe.
Really proud of her debut as a commentator.
A billion times better than Rachel Ajegba and Ikpeba who were mediocre, to say the least.
Big ups to Desire 👍🏾👍🏾

Shouldn't commentators be mostly neutral?
Dunno why Ex-Nigerian players Amokachi, Desire Oparanozie etc when they get a chance on an international stage can't stay professional.

Easy win to be honest. We played much better second half, though we scored more goals first half.
The only thing definite today is that Asisat Oshoala shouldn't start a game again. Esther Okoronkwo and Ihezuo offered more bite and mobility upfront.

Deltamani:
SUBSTITUTES
1• TochuKwu OLUEHI
11• Sikiratu ISAH
4• Shukurat OLADIPO
20• Folashade IJAMILUSI
12• Onyi ECHEGINI
10• Christy UCHEIBE
19• Chinwendu IHEZUO
17• Fransisca ORDEGA
9• Ifeoma ONUMONU
6• Esther OKORONKWO

Unachukwu (GK), Usani (def), Okafor (Attacker) didn't make the match day squad.
11 on the pitch, 10 on the bench.
3 + 11 + 10 = 24
