My brother as the thing be like this ehn, I just jejely choose Tinubu because of some works he did in Lagos state most especially improvement in IGR from 600m to 40bn without federal government allocation and his unbias appointments of competent hands. I go manage that one small

If only the crowd shouting Obi can sit down to tell us what they expect of him. I visited Anambra in 2014 and I heard from folks he was a good Governor, but personally I am yet to see that outstanding trademark of Obi that corresponds to the hype.

What I hear is that he renovated some teaching Hospitals and built some roads or bought 120 laptops for primary school children. But even Amaechi and Yahaya Bello have more outstanding achievements than that in my opinion, so I don't get what the hype is all about.

The only thing I may appreciate Obi for is if he truly makes Government simple by reducing the cost of politics and Governance. He seem to be more likely to pursue that with the Senate out of the three candidates. Other than that, I see nothing special in him as of yet.

Starlight252:
Seriously, i'm confused.
Tinubu sees the presidency as his inheritance, Atiku sees it as a business opportunity while Obi's fellow state indigenes are calling him a curse.

Na where we go con turn to laidis when the 3 biggest contesters are all birds of a feather...

I weep for my country.

Anyways, when you have to pick a choice among three evils, you choose the lesser one.

Let's see how this unfolds
I really hope we don't make another mistake in this country.

I was actually a supporter of Osinbajo, now I nor know who to support.

PROUDIGBO:
I previously held a not too favourable view of Peter Obi. But with the benefit of hindsight, and now being better informed on what governance entails…esp’ governance in a state that’s almost starting from ground-zero, i now appreciate his efforts during his two terms as governor! He laid a good foundation for the likes of Obiano and Soludo to build on!

Let's reason together here and be factual. No matter what Anambra was previously, it is still easier to govern Anambra than Nigeria. Obi tried in Anambra, but I think we expected a bit more considering how hyped he is. What foundation did he lay in Anambra in the following areas:

1) Electricity
2) Roads
3) Education
4) State Security Outfits
5) Control of local Governments
6) Portable Water Supply
7) Attraction of Investors
( Broadband connectivity
9) Healthcare
10) Waste Management

He did average in some (Education, Investments, Health), below average on roads and terribly on the others.

Bonny Islands Nigeria.

Our Attack, Rasheedat doesn't have any business in that Midfield again except if we find ourselves in a situation that would need her there.....


Ajibade can be our Megan Rapineo who's known for her playmaking, Assist and Scoring.


Desire Oparanozie
Asisat Oshoala
Ifeoma Onumonu
Rasheedat Ajibade
Esther Okoronkwo
Uchenna Kanu
Fransisca Ordega

The rest below should be the next option if any of the above name ain't available
Monday Gift
Vivian Ikechukwu
Chinwendu Ihezuo
Roosa Ariyo
Maclean's Chinonyerem
Anam Imo
The current U20 strikers should be given some look...


Rinsola Babajide still look like someone who isn't certain about her international Career yet... As she's currently with the England U23 set up.
Eyes on Vicky Lopez

The problem is not that Ajibade can't play midfield but rather she seemed to have played behind Rita Chikwelu in the game against South Africa ( if I'm not mistaken) which of course is always a gonna be a bad idea.

vankelvin:
Countries that have so far put in their bid for AFCON 2027

Tanzania (East Africa)
Uganda-Tanzania (East Africa)
Zambia (South Africa)
Botswana-Namibia (South Africa)
Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Senegal (West Africa)
Morocco (North Africa)


My bet on the first three bids, any of them deserves to host 2027 Afcon

You mean Southern Africa not South Africa.

Buhari expressed sifierr shock when I also told him yesterday.

EKONGKING:
Eko atlantic ,what these people are boasting about is not even finished 5 percent , after 10 years .

electricity = maximum number of grid collapses every year ,out of all countries in the world .

Insecurity = Ha Ha

So what is your solution?

mostob:
Rita you mean

Yeah Rita.

psychologist:
These guys still don’t get it

It’s not about the party anymore
It’s about the candidate

However, I will vote pdp over apc again.
Apc is pure evil party

Oh come on, PDP is very useless. The major qualms I have with APC is the sluggishness in terms of security but in terms of projects, APC has more than PDP.

Idiko1:
The bolded is another carpenter on the Falcons team.

No matter how you look at it, she's more active than Rita at the moment. At least she's faster.

Danielnino00:
How's the result of the AWCON going to affect our FIFA ranking?
It's likely we lost the number one spot to South Africa...

I don't think so unless South Africa do well in the World Cup and we don't. South Africa for now at best would overtake Cameroon.

frog12:
project moot due to what demands? money? of course we knew the siemens project was going nowhere

Siemens project is still on course. New equipments already paid for, to arrive September.

Kennedyli:
Okay. Let's say he asks Siemens how they can build the plant.
- Will he also ask them how to finance it?
- Will he also ask them how to run the plants?

And Siemens is not on ground anywhere. The German chancellor clarified that the project is moot due to demands. Show me what Siemens has built in Nigeria since 2019 the project was supposedly signed. It took Egypt 3 years to build 25kw. 3 years later. We've not even added 1kw. Yet you guys keep decieving yourselves about simiens been in Nigeria.

To finance it, Egypt took a lot of foreign debt worth billions of dollars. I know this and I didn't need to travel to Egypt to know this.

To run the plants is simply to run the plants. Are the Egyptians the only ones who know how to run new power plants and when did that become rocket science?

Siemens is on ground. They had issues with local content laws of Nigeria which took about 2 years to resolve. The first batch of equipments worth 100 million dollars have been paid for already and would arrive in September.

Note: German chancellor did not say to Chimamanda that the project was stalled. She simply spoke about local content laws and made it clear that she would still have to verify what has slowed down the project.

Kennedyli:
The difference is what can be done in practical and theory.

Atiku is telling you the same thing that we all read on paper about how electricity can be produced with coal and dams in those days.

Obi has gone to see people who were able to generate 25000kw of electricity in 4 years. He met all parties involved including the financiers.

So it's about bringing those people down here to replicate what they did in Egypt.

Atiku on the other hand doesn't even know wheter the dams can be actually worked on or if our coal infrastructure are still existent.

But why would Nigeria be using coal when we have enough gas and are supplying gas to other countries to generate electricity?

I am not a fan of Atiku, but if you go back to that interview, Atiku was simply speaking about diversification of electricity generation. Enugu has coal that can supply the South East coupled with gas in Anambra. The North can use Solar for the major part and also has dead turbines that can be worked on etc.

As to your point on Obi visiting Egypt, I don't see the need. Obi should have first unravelled why Siemens seem to be slow in Nigeria. What are the laws in Nigeria holding them back? Siemens is in Nigeria already, they can lecture Obi better on the difference between Egyptian situation and the Nigerian situation.

If the NFF can't appoint a top Coach from Europe like the Moroccan Women National Team Coach with a better CV...

They better stick with our own Coaches...

Head Coach; Florence Omagbemi
1st Assistant; Mercy Akide Udoh
2nd Assistant; Peter Dedevbo


If this 3 can work together in unity with NFF giving them the needed Support just as they gave to Randy Waldrum, I bet you there's no way the Falcons won't succeed at the big stage... DEDEVBO took the U20 to the World Cup final in 2014, he knows those Crops of players very well..

Florence OMAGBEMI have been there before on a shottime bases with the needed experience after Coaching the girls as Assistant to Edwin Okon at the 2012 U20 FIFA Women's World Cup in Japan where they finished 4th, before leading the team to Victory in Cameroon in 2016 AWCON..

Mercy Akide Udoh a University Coach like Randy Waldrum who's one of the greatest as far as women football is concern in Africa is also doing well in the US with good experience as an ex international, and playing pro in the US years back...

Peter Dedevbo would be my choice.

Just40:
Netflix has really destroyed the tv subscription service oo...

I wonder what Starlink will do to African telcos

The major reason many still use TV subscription, specifically DSTV, is Supersports 3 (English Premier League and UEFA games).

codemaniacs:
It's not about been above another player it's about the result on the scoreboard.

It's time for Chikwelu to retire.

codemaniacs:
Sebastian is a goal scoring winger and SF needs goal scorers.

SF needs goal scoring forwards.
SF needs goal scoring midfielders.
SF needs goal scoring defenders.

The weird thing is the Men's also needs the same.

We need an attacking midfielder who is better than Okobi.
Okobi wasn't outright bad in this tournament though, she was way above Chikwelu.

isan:
Sebastian is a winger, she doesn't have the frame to play as the striker

Okay cool.

mostob:
Vicky Lopez I'm not sure she will play for us o.
I won't mind Rinsola, the rubbish Ordega and Vivian played yesterday was just nauseating..
I don't know Imran and Abiodun is an excellent addition.

What of Rosin Demehin? You think she is not ready sir?
What of Ariyo? Zogg?

Rafiat Imran is a natural left back for Rivers Angels.

Vivian Lopez wants to play for us because of her mum. Mummy's love.
You are right, I don't know if that's possible now because she's in the Spanish Youth Team, but she's one for us in the near future. She may not likely make it to the world cup with us, I agree.

Ordega for me, ever since leaving the U.S, seem to have lost her touch. Vivian Ikechuckwu like I said in my older post do not seem to be peaking from her brief form last year.

Demehin, Ariyo, Zogg, all not ready yet in my opinion.
I would need to see more of Demehin at the U20 World Cup.

hatakekakashi:
Why quote him That rubbish he posted doesn't even deserve a reply. You should ask yourself whether he even follows the team or just looking for an opening to bring his tribalism agenda here.

I agree. He isn't worth quoting.

mostob:
Apart from Esther and Desire, which other players should we be expecting to join this team?

Cc schemerkhiz, GeneralDae, Lovewins, Deltaman

Patricia - left back
Sebastian - Striker
Abiodun - Midfielder
Imran - Left back
Rinsola Babajide - Striker/Winger
Vicky Lopez - Striker

Also Yewande should be tried as a goalkeeper or we also bring back Jonathan Alaba.

dododawa1:
They surely missed Oshoala, Ajibade and YORUBA are great,no them,no Falcon.

We have all time top scorers in this tournament as Perpetua Nkwocha, Mercy Akide, Desire Oparanozie, Cynthia Uwak, Assisat Oshoala. That's just one Yoruba there.

This is not a political thread, if you think you have a point with this, you can post it on the front page.

lovewins:
I think it's okay to make a case for Macleans without necessarily shifting narratives.

Facts, MacLean got more time to prove herself than Monday Gift did and He hasn't shown an iota of promise so far. For someone who is fighting to be included in a position that's already very swamped, and mind you only got it as a replacement for another player who couldn't make it, she isn't making a good case for herself.

You are right. When given the opportunity especially against the likes of Burundi and Botswana, one should take it. Ucheibe showed promise in midfield against a side like Canada for instance. However, I would love to see more of her and Yewande.

solonnachi:
Please someone should correct me if I'm wrong but I think Tochi Oluehi is good at penalties than Chiamaka Nnadozie.

Why can't we even try out Yewande to see what she can do?

isan:
Imagine

When you look closely, most of these people don't even know anything about Super Falcons.

jrusky:
Whoever expect otherwise from you Adichie must be sick. Its Obvious we know your type if even its Osibanjo who is apc flagbearer and Wike or Okowa is pdp flagbearer you won't still vote for them so your *I can't wait to vote obi* we undertmstand the undertone behind it it is genetical...........

But remember you have just one vote moreso it's getting apparent that Labour has turned regional party gradually where only a particular people from certain region has be the one propagating their genetically propagandism as usual.

We have seen it before during Abiola, we saw it during IBB, we saw it during Abacha and these same set of people from that region has started it again.

As I have be saying it is pdp moment I'm not only voting party I'm voting someone I believe he has enough experience and will do better and a unifier not someone people like you Adichie will use it to be rubbing it on other region and tribes faces as your type did during Gej in office that made my party lost Aso Rock in 2015 till today.

Atiku is not what we need now. We don't want someone privatising everything unnecessarily. A crook with doubtful ways same as Tinubu, but at least Tinubu seem to be more competent.

APC may have been disappointing so far to me in many areas but I say never again to PDP (past democratic party). May PDP (especially Jonathan, Atiku, Obasanjo) never happen to Nigeria again.

fiizznation:
Wrong. The two major candidates are tinubu and Atiku, two candidates with questionable characters.
So you see my friend, I can't and will never vote any one of them. Fact!!!

The other candidates are purely a waste of my vote because I know they can't win. But I usually console myself that whoever wins between Atiku and Tinubu, atleast they 'will' be better than this present administration.

Flesh and blood have not revealed this unto you.

Buhari be like.. Wetin dey worry this one?

Where is the fire? Which particular Mountain?

codemaniacs:
is Okoronkwo injured

was she part of the team?

She was injured just before the tournament.

codemaniacs:
Onumonu yes, Oparanozie no..

Football especially female football is getting faster, so we need fast players... the strikers/forwards should be "fit and injury free" Oshoala they should not invite any player that hasn't fully recovered from their injury or any player that does not press should stay on the bench.

"fit" Oshoala
Kanu
Ajibade
Ordega
Vivian Ikechukwu
Florish Sebastien
Gift Monday
"fit" Onumonu

both SE and SF need to train on how they mark and tackle players, they should not be getting red cards , at worst they should hold the player's shirt or the player or pull the player back or at worst pull the player the Chie:llini pulled Saka.

I'll remove Vivian Ikechuckwu for Okoronkwo.
