[b][size=14pt] Sophia Omidiji: The story of adopted American girl's dream to represent Nigeria [/size] [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/a6/f8/sophia-omidiji_1ekx998d4dksx108txgk3gij1e.jpg?t=-1117611403&w=620&h=430[/img] By Samuel Ahmadu While many are rooting for the prodigy to impress with the Falconets in Papua New Guinea, reality is that she may have missed the train according to the team's coach GOAL FEATURE By Samuel Ahmadu Follow on Twitter The story of Sophia Omotola Omidiji, 19, reads like one out of a fairytale. Adopted as a little child by Lateef Omidiji, a Nigerian living in Las Vegas with his American wife Crystal, Sophia was brought up to love and respect her father’s home country. Her loving grandfather Bili made such a lasting impression on her which helped in making life choices. In the course of growing up, the young lady took to football, what Americans call soccer, and found joy on the greens with the ball at her feet. After breaking scoring records at her Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas, Omidiji caught the eye of local scouts and word got around about her abilities but she did the most surprising thing, she opted to represent the country of her adopted father, Nigeria. In an October 2015 interview with Goal, Omidiji spoke of her motivation to wear the green and white internationally: “There are many Nigerians abroad that choose to play with the country they were born in. But for me, I've had only one desire and that's to play for the greatest nation on earth and that's Nigeria.” Omidiji has since been trying to back up her dream, moving to the Netherlands with her family where she now features for the FC Eindhoven Women’s team and she continues to score goals. This week, Fifa created excitement about the prospects of Omidiji representing her adopted country in a pre-tournament profile of the Nigerian team on its website. She was named a great asset who could take after Courtney Dike, another American-born Nigerian who starred at the last tournament in Canada. “Like Dike’s, Omidiji’s father was born in Nigeria, and it is not unlikely that the two could feature together for the Super Falcons in the not too distant future,” Fifa.com wrote. Despite the growing international interest in her story, Omidiji was not able to convince Nigeria selectors of her ability and is set to be overlooked for the Fifa U20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea in November. Reacting to the Fifa recognition of her talent and resolve to play for Nigeria, she expressed doubt about her chances of making a case for inclusiveness during the tournament in four months. “I'm happy about [the Fifa recognition], of course. I think I can be part of Nigeria’s future. I feel like I can bring a positive attention to women football,” Omidiji told Goal. “I feel like somebody at Fifa recognizes that I’m a hard worker who has a track record of winning.” Nigerian teams are known for their imposing physical stature, at 5ft 1in, Omidiji is small but makes up for it with her blistering pace and eye for goal. That was why she scored 38 goals in her final year of high school. “I know I won't be selected but if I'm selected of course I'm confident in my skills. I know I can help the team. I know I'm not big but I'm technical and fast,” she said. The Las Vegas-born player declined talking about her biological parents, but stressed her resolve to represent her adopted country, citing her deep affection for Nigeria and the continent.

Mario Balotelli isn't less Italian because he was adopted. I don't feel less Nigerian because I was adopted,” she said. “Being adopted isn't something I talk about. I will say this, I may not look Nigerian on the outside but my heartbeat is Nigerian. I don't feel less Nigerian than my younger brother. I have a Nigerian passport along with an American,” she explained. “In Luxembourg [during Nigeria's recently friendly in May], I met Super Eagles players some told me and my brother that ‘we know of you guys, we support you guys, thanks for choosing our country’. That made me feel good,” she said. Meanwhile, Falconets coach Peter Dedevbo, applauded her great desire to feature for Nigeria, but admitted he is unsure of her chances, seeing her inability to cope with his side's physical style of football. “She is a good player and I really love her great desire to play for Nigeria as well as her passion," Dedevbo told Goal. “That was why I allowed her stay in my camp for nearly four months of our camping for the qualifiers. She is the first player ever to have stayed in my camp that long and not feature in games. “I really wanted to give her the much needed time for her to adapt to our style of football. I had intention of putting her in some of our qualifying games, but I could not feature her because we had tough and physical matches, which we needed to win and qualify for the World Cup. “She could not cope. Even though, I really liked her, but I must admit as the coach that her performance during the qualifiers did not measure up to my expectation,” he said. A European journalist, Adam Volk, hailed the quality of the player after watching her shine in a game for her club and believes she is a great talent to watch out for in Papua New Guinea. “Members of our team went to see some of her games in Holland for FC Eindhoven and I have to say that your country has a gem on her hands as she is a fantastic player,” acknowledged Volk. However, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, the 1st Vice President of the Nigeria Football Federation hailed Omidiji's interest despite admitting no knowledge of her and pledging to take necessary administrative steps to make her dreams come true. Akinwunmi, who is also the head of the NFF's youth football development department, assured that the federation will always provide the platform for exceptional talents – both at home and abroad of Nigerian origin – to represent their fatherland. “I’m not aware of her matter,” Akinwunmi told Goal. “But I will immediately take up the matter by meeting the technical department of the NFF and also the head coach of the Falconets to get more details about her. “We are resolved to ensure that under our watch no player of Nigerian origin is denied a chance of playing for the country due to non-footballing reasons. “I will hope to have her again and see her and assess her performance and determine if she has what it takes to make the team,” he concluded. The world loves a fairy tale and Omidiji being listed in the Nigeria team to Papua New Guinea will bring to fore that dreams still come true. Still, the decision to take the young lady rests on the shoulders of coach Dedevbo who seems to have made up his mind. But hope springs eternal for Omidiji. “I wanted to make my dad and grandparents proud because I am who I am because of Nigeria. I love Africa so much and my dream is to coach an African team to the World Cup one day,” Omidiji said. http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/12072/nigeria-women/2016/07/06/25354242/sophia-omidiji-the-story-of-adopted-american-girls-dream-to?ICID=HP_HN_1 [/b] 2 Likes 1 Share |

[b][size=14pt] Will USA-born Omidiji Play For Nigeria At World Cup? Fifa Thinks So [/size] https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/22875Omidiji.jpg The governing body of football, Fifa, has written a profile on the Falconets ahead of the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea. In the last tournament in Canada, Oklahoma native Courtney Dike became the first player born in the United States to represent the Nigeria U20s, and Fifa has predicted that Las Vegas - born Sophia Omotola Omidiji will follow suit. “In Papua New Guinea, Netherlands-based striker Sophia Omidiji could become the second US-born player after Courtney Dike, who represented the team in Canada, to play for the side. “Like Dike’s, Omidiji’s father was born in Nigeria, and it is not unlikely that the two could feature together for the Super Falcons in the not too distant future,” fifa.com said about the FC Eindhoven Women star. The eighth edition of the Fifa U20s will take place in Papua New Guinea 13 November – 3 December 2016 and Nigeria will face Spain, Japan and Canada in the group stage.

| Romance › 13-year-old Girl Forced Into Prostitution Makes Stunning Revelations by justiz5(op): 7:15am On Jul 03, 2016*. Modified: 7:33am On Jul 03, 2016 |
13-year-old girl forced into prostitution makes stunning revelations – The girl’s grandmother had deliberately ‘sold’ her into prostitution for N4,000– Despite the fact that the girl was being maltreated, the granny encouraged her to continue. – After leaving her madam, Blessing became a ‘bigger’ prostitute. – Her deliverance soon came after attending church regularly, Blessing Bassey Okon may have thought that her misery in life began almost the same day she lost her father, but she would never have envisaged what was in stock forher later. The 13-year-old was subsequently abandoned by her mother who quickly remarried and ‘dumped’ her with the late husband’s mother who could neither feed her well nor train her due in school. The Akwa Ibom-born Blessing, thus, started living another kind of life, especially since her grandmother had been praying for somebody who could take of her to come around. It didn’t take too long before her prayer was answered, albeit not what she hoped for. According to Daily Sun, a professional prostitute stormed the residence of the grandmother and in her businesswoman ‘clothing’, deceived Blessing’s grandmother into believing that she would take care of the young girl whom she said would be helping to assist in her shop where she sold rice. While narrating her ordeal, Blessing said the lady gave her grandmother N4000 and took her to Calabar, stating:“When that Aunty came to my village to pick me, she deceived my grandmother that she had a big rice shop which she wanted me to manage.“ She gave my grandmother some money and the old woman asked me to go with her. In fact, I was very happy because I wanted to leave the village to an urban area, so I would have the opportunity to engage myself in one trade or the other, since there was no one to support me. “Unfortunately, it was when we got to Calabar that I understood that what I went to do was prostitution. She showed me a room and instructed me to ensure that I deliver enough money to her otherwise I would die of hunger. I felt bad and wondered what to do. “After much thought, I remembered that I had no option than to obey her directive. So grudgingly, I started the job. I wanted to report to my mother and grandmother what I was going through, but due to lack of mobile phone, I could not. While doing the job, I used to deliver between N10, 000 and N20, 000 to my madam on daily basis. It was from the money that she feed me and pay for my room. Sad enough, I was not given any cash, even when I was the one who used my body to make the money.” In her explanation, Blessing said she managed to save some money while her ordeal lasted and eventually bought a N2,000 worth mobile phone to explain what was going on to her family members but was disappointed when after explaining to her granny, she was encouraged to go on. She said:“When I reported to my grandmother that the lady she gave me to later introduced me to prostitution business, she was not bothered, rather, she advised me to try to cope, in order to survive the hard times. From her statement, I understood that it was a planned work. She even later gave me one of my sisters to join me in the business. ”The poor girl, in the course of hustling for customers, got caught by some police officers for being a ‘child’ prostitute. “I was in my room when some policemen came. When they saw me, they were surprised because of my age. So, they arrested me. The following day, my madam sent someone to bail me from the police detention. When I left the station, a woman I did not know took me to her house and was giving me food. I was really satisfied and comfortable than the place I was. “At a time, her son started abusing and beating me for eating their food, without doing anything for them. As a result, I left the place and went home to inform my mother, instead of discouraging me, she also encouraged me probably due to the bag of rice and other items I gave to her. “So, when I returned, I decided to leave my madam to be on my own. Thereafter, I started going from one hotel to the other and was making some money, but could not see what I did with it,”the young lady stated emotionally. Narrating further, Blessing noted that,“whilein the business, I contacted HIV from one of my boy friends. Even at that, I was still having sex with several men. But I do not know whether they also contacted HIV or not. At a stage, I began to get worried about my condition and a possible way out because I could save money to do any reasonable thing from what I was doing. “So, one day, some church people who introduced themselves as members of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries in Calabar came to preach to us in our hotel. Their message centered on repentance. And as they preached to me, I was touched to heed their advice to leave the job and join them, but another mind told me not to go. But after much thought, I made up my mind to follow them to church. “Even when I joined The Lord’s Chosen, the demons in me were still at work. And, I was fighting with some members regularly, on little provocation. But the members advised me not to do such things in the church, yet Idid not listen. One day, I prayed God to remove the demons in me and those in my siblings because we are known to be troublesome people in our community. Good enough, I was managing myself to attend the Church and they were really working hard to deliver me. “I was brought to The Lord’s Chosen Crusade in Lagos from Port Harcourt on Friday, June 10, 2016 by their members. They sent me to Port Harcourt branch from Calabar. Then from there, they brought me to Lagos for this programme. When the 2-day programme started on Saturday and prayers were offered, I felt relieved of the problems I used to have. I also noticed that the HIV has disappeared because I do not notice some of the symptoms I used to have. What is left is for me to be tested to be medically sure.” She has since denounced prostitution, saying: “I want God to forgive me. I also want those I have wronged to forgive me also. I want to start a new life. I want to be a child of God and do not want to go into prostitution any longer. So, what I need now is a job and accommodation to enable me take care of my self.” https://www.naij.com/879652-men-still-slept-spite-hiv-status-13-yr-old-forced-prostitute-reveals.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C3031123515 |

[color=#000000]We will not surrender Benue to Fulani herdsmen - Ortom Nomso Obiajuru[/color] – Governor Ortom says Benue state will not accommodate open grazing of cattle – Ortom reveals that his government would continue to support those who were prepared to ranch their cattle in the state – The governor said agriculture remained the biggest industry in Benue state Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has said that a law to prohibit open grazing of cattle in his state will soon be enacted. The governor made this disclosure in Makurdi, Benue state capital on Monday, June 27, at the end of the Town Hall Meeting he held with stakeholders in the three senatorial zones of the state. According to him, his administration will not surrender Benue state to the invading Fulani herdsmen, despite unending attacks on communities in the state, Vanguard reports. However, Ortom revealed that his government would continue to support those who were prepared to ranch their cattle in the state. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3898419_ortom_jpegd2d5fb3d6e442bf91ace02daff676d68 Dr. Samuel Ortom Gov Ortom has said he will not surrender Benue state to the invading Fulani herdsmen, despite unending attacks on communities in the state. The governor said agriculture remained the biggest industry in the state, noting that available land in the state could not accommodate farming and cattle grazing at the same time. He said:“I have made it clear that we will not surrender Benue to herdsmen. We are saying that we do not have land for grazing. Though we are ready to support those that are prepared to ranch their cows but for those involved in open grazing should find other states because with the new law that would soon come into effect, that practice will not be acceptable in Benue state.” Governor Ortom commiserated with families who have lost loved ones to the ravaging Fulani herdsmen, assuring them that his administration was working round the clock to ensure that peace reigned across the state. Eight local government areas in Benue state, comprising Agatu, Buruku, Guma, Gwer-West, Logo, Kwande, Gwer-East and Katsina-Ala, have been under recurrent heavy attacks from the Fulani herdsmen. Reports state that between 300 and 500 people were murdered in Agatu and other communities of Benue earlier in March. The attacks by Fulani herdsmen has left many. www.naij.com/874139-governor-declares-war-fulani-herdsmen.html 1 Share

[b][size=14pt] Flying Eagles arrive Calabar as they prepare for Burundi clash Biyi Akangbe [/size] https://www.thenff.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/nigeria-eaglets-690x396.jpg Nigeria’s U-20 team on Sunday flew into Calabar, capital of Cross River State to intensify preparations for Saturday’s 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations second leg qualifying match against the Young Swallows of Burundi. Coach Emmanuel Amuneke led a group of 25 players and three officials into Canaan City of Calabar for their return leg match after beating the Young Swallows 1-0 in Bujumbura two weeks ago. Meanwhile, Chile 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup bronze ball winner Samuel Chukwueze has continued in fine form in friendly matches ahead of the clash, causing serious havoc to opposition defence –lines. Just two days after his brace helped the Flying Eagles demolish Nigeria National League side, Shekarau Babes FC in a friendly match played on the artificial pitch of the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja, the winger was again at his imperious best netting twice in the second half as the Emmanuel Amuneke tutored side saw off Amakson Football Academy 3-0 in another friendly match at the weekend at the same venue. The galloping winger was at his usual slippery best all through the entertaining affair and received huge applause from the crowd, among them players of the National U-17 team currently in Abuja for a screening exercise supervised by team Coach Manu Garba. Another winger, Orji Okonkwo added the third and final goal, just as he did against Shekarau Babes when he scored the fifth and final goal of the match to see off the Kano based NNL side. Amakson Football Academy pride itself as a hard nut to crack for National Teams, having had decent results against the U-17, U-20 and U-23 teams in the past. Friday’s bashing however, did not come as a surprise to fans and the proprietor of the academy, who admitted after the game that his boys lost to a very good team with great potentialities. The UJ Esuene Stadium, which has played host to several Super Eagles and Golden Eaglets’ international matches over the past few years, will host this weekend’s clash between the Flying Eagles and the Young Swallows. The winner on aggregate will reach the final round of the qualification series for the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, where Sudan will be the opposition. http://www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/06/flying-eagles-arrive-calabar-as-they.html [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Yusuf in race for Eagles top post after scoring high marks [/size] https://africanfootball.com//bp_images/2016/05/Samm_15_Dec_1.jpg Coach Salisu Yusuf - Humble and tactically strong Nigeria interim coach Salisu Yusuf could well be given the top post on a full-time basis should the country fail to hire a foreign coach after he was praised by both officials and players for his tactical prowess and humility. Yusuf, longtime assistants to Stephen Keshi, Sunday Oliseh and Samson Siasia, has earned respect for his tactical shrewdness which saw him outwit Mali and their French coach Alain Giresse on Friday in Rouen. His second half changes brought spark to the Eagles leading to the match winner by Manchester city starlet Kelechi Iheanacho. An official who is France with Eagles told AfricanFootball.com: “Nigeria could now settle for Salisu should a foreign coach option fail. “He has impressed with his tactical approach against Mali. “And the players have taken to him because he is not arrogant unlike his predecessors, who dwelled so much on their exploits as players.” The former Ranchers Bees and El Kanemi Warriors midfielder has already proved himself at two of Nigeria’s top clubs, Kano Pillars and Enyimba. The Eagles have crashed out of next year’s AFCON but they will be hoping to qualify for a sixth World Cup when the qualifying tournament begins in October. http://africanfootball.com/news/629562/Yusuf-in-race-for-Eagles-top-post-after-scoring-high-marks [/b] 2 Likes |

Aminu, 21, progressed through Nigeria’s age-grade teams before making his international bow against Egypt in an African Cup of Nations qualifier back in March. “I do not like predicting the outcome of games, ninety minutes will tell but I know we have a good team,” Umar Aminu told allnigeriasoccer.com. “We are taking the games seriously, all games are very important.” Aminu has said the environment in the Super Eagles made him settle into the squad seamlessly, with the likes of John Obi Mikel (Chelsea), Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow) and Echiejile (Monaco) all offering their support. “I have not experienced any difficulties in the Super Eagles. Football is the same everywhere whether senior or junior it does not really matter to me. “I do what I know how to do best whenever I get the opportunity and the (senior) players were all awesome, friendly and nice. They are amazing, ” added Umar Aminu. In 28 outings for Osmanlıspor in the just concluded season, Aminu found the net eight times, including a brace against Galatasaray.

It has come to light that the central defender does not have a valid residence permit which would have enabled him travel to France without a visa, and to make matters worse he only applied for a visa to France on Monday, May 23rd, according to the player’s intermediary. “We are working on Chidozie getting a visa to France, the Nigeria Football Federation is trying to get him a visa from Abuja,” said agent Babawo Mohammed to allnigeriasoccer.com. “The NFF officials are talking with Porto directly. He has not been issued the visa at this moment, he applied today. “His residence permit is still being processed and will be out before next season. He was playing for Porto with a temporary residence permit.” The 19-year-old Awaziem, who trained with the Golden Eaglets prior to his move to Portugal, played the first forty five minutes of Porto’s shoot-out loss to Sporting Braga in the final of the Taça de Portugal on Sunday.

[b][size=14pt] CSKA Moscow Would Like To Extend Aaron Samuel Contract If... [/size] https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/47624Aaron.jpg CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky has stated the Russian champions would love to extend the contract of Aaron Samuel depending on the success of his surgery. The Nigeria international is scheduled to undergo surgery in Germany at the end of May or first week of June after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the Cup final against Zenit St Petersburg. “We would like to continue cooperation. But some specifics will be after surgery,” said Slutsky to sport-express.ru. “Everything depends on the situation of things - how serious the injury is, what period of rehabilitation, whether the injury have further consequences. “Unfortunately, Dr. Einhorn, to which we send the players with a cruciate ligament injury, is on vacation. As far as I know, the operation is scheduled for the end of May.” Aaron Samuel’s contract with the Muscovites will run out on May 31, 2016.

[b][size=14pt] Ideye reveals he will miss Yobo Testimonial after Eagles recall [/size] https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/05/Samm_5_October_1_580x472.jpg Ideye Nigeria striker Brown Ideye has said he would have wished to feature in Friday’s Joseph Yobo Testimonial, but for the fact he has also been recalled by the Super Eagles for friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg. The Mali match will be played on the same day in France. The Olympiacos hitman said it would have been a great personal honour to be part of the Yobo Testimonial. "I really wanted to play. I had called and made enquiries last month concerning this particular game (Yobo Testimonial) because I didn’t know I would be invited to the national team,” he said. "I was like let me come home with my family play the game then go to the United States of America for holidays with my family, but I got called up.” He added: “I was really looking forward to the game, to play for him because I played under him and he is a very good guy and it would have been a great honour to support him." Yobo became the first Nigerian to win 100 caps when he captained the Super Eagles in a 2014 World Cup game against France. The Nigeria Football Federation have, however, released Eagles captain Mikel Obi and his assistant, Ahmed Musa, for the testimonial. http://africanfootball.com/news/628998/Ideye-reveals-he-will-miss-Yobo-Testimonial-after-Eagles-recall [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Arokoyo says he could quit Turkish club [/size] https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/05/arokoyo_club_action_2.jpg Arokoyo (left) in action Gaziantepspor defender Gbenga Arokoyo has kept the door open for a possible move away from the Turkish club as he has told AfricanFootball.com “anything can happen” in the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old Arokoyo joined the Turkish Super Lig side in the summer of 2014 and has been a huge presence for the club since signing from Mjallby of Sweden, and while he remains open to a move, he was quick to point out he still has a contract with his present club. “Anything can happen in football but for now I still have two more years left on my contract with my team,” he said to AfricanFootball.com. The central defender began the season brightly for Gaziantepspor, starting most of their games, but lost his place when he returned from injury towards the end of the season. He is one of the players invited by Nigeria for two friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg this month.

BENUE KILLINGS: 'Fulani Herdsmen Attacks is Beyond Me' – Governor Ortom www.nairaland.com/attachments/3742435_samuleortoma_jpeg4dd8ae28ab43945fdab82226928fbca8 Benue state governor, Dr Samuel Ortom has said that the brutal attacks of fulani herders in the state is beyond his power as the state's chief executive, adding that he will have a talk to President Buhari on why his people were still being attacked despite the presence of military personnel in the area. The obviously-looking-devastated governor made this statement while speaking with reporters on the terrible herdsmen attack that reportedly claimed the lives of 13 local residents of Binev council ward in Buruku local government area of the state. It was gathered that the security operatives posted to the area were withdrawn five minutes before the attacks sparking suspicion of collaboration with the invaders. According to Ortom, ''The Army, Police, Civil Defence and others responsible for the protection of lives and property in the state will explain to me because I cannot explain why they had to do that. If we have sent the Army and Police there and my people are being killed and their homes are being destroyed and the mercenaries have taken over the land, then there is no more rule of law. “Honestly, I’m still going to seek an appointment to meet with Mr President and make a report that this thing is beyond me.” He said. - See more at: http://www.benueforum.com/2016/05/benue-killings-fulani-herdsmen-attacks.html#sthash.6MMmI76t.bfVE0rwH.dpuf |
