[size=14pt] AF Nigeria Premier League 2015/2016 Watford Arsenal boss Wenger salutes 'fearless' Iwobi [/size] Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has again paid glowing praise of Nigeria youngster Alex Iwobi, describing him as “fearless and very mobile” after he notched his second Premier League goal today. Nephew of legendary Nigeria star Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, Iwobi scored after 38 minutes as Arsenal swept past Watford 4-0 at the Emirates. “He has been here (Arsenal) since he was seven or eight. He’s fearless and very mobile,” Wenger saluted the Nigeria international after his latest exploit. “I am pleased with his talent, but even more with his attitude and willingness to learn.” The 19-year-old forward has made seven appearances for ‘The Gunners’ in his debut season in the Premier League – two starts and five as a sub. africanfootball.com/news/623490/Arsenal-boss-Wenger-salutes-fearless-Iwobi 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers Arsenal Iwobi outshines Ighalo as Watford sink deeper into trouble [/size] Nigeria youngster Alex Iwobi outshone fellow Super Eagles star Odion Ighalo after he scored in Arsenal 4-0 win to further endanger Watford’s survival hopes in the Premier League. Iwobi, whose appearance for Nigeria was limited after he recovered from food poisoning on international duty last week, struck after 38 minutes courtesy of an assist by Alexis Sanchez, who laid the ball into the path of the youngster who only had to slide home from inside the box. It was the 19-year-old midfielder’s second goal in the Premier League. The impressive Iwobi was later substituted in the 74thminute. Ighalo, on the other hand, was replaced after 46 minutes when he failed to add to his 15-goal tally. Watford remain on 37 points, three points shy of the magical 40 points many reckon would keep a club up in the English top flight. It was a sweet revenge for Arsenal, who were sent packing in the quarterfinal of the FA Cup by Watford at The Emirates. africanfootball.com/news/623428/Iwobi-outshines-Ighalo-as-Watford-sink-deeper-into-trouble [/b] 1 Like |

The steps taken by the NFF show that they want to move the women's league in Nigeria forward. We discussed a lot about taking the game forward, and when the report is submitted to the NFF, [the steps] will be implemented. For now, I don't think we need an election. We will improve the league by adopting the governance structure and taking clues from its impact on the men's league. By the time we have an organised league, I think the sponsors will come."

We were able to talk about how our league can match the Premier League standard we all desire. It is a welcome development, because we have not had this kind of forum to discuss the way forward for women's football in a long time. We should put any plans for election on hold, and let the NFF introduce the governance structure that will be able to get us sponsorship, correct the ills we have experienced in the past, and raise the reputation of the Nigeria Women's Football League. We need individuals who can facilitate the smooth and proper organisation of the women's league."

A lot of us [players] have lost hope in the NFF because they don't seem to care about the women, all they care for is the men. If we have a high standard league, our good players will have no interest in leaving the country for abroad or playing for another country. I hope and pray they get it right this time, because our biggest problem has been more administrative and not technical. Trust me, if the administration standard of the women's football league improves, a lot of players, and even foreigners will be attracted to playing for women's clubs in Nigeria again." m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/12072/nigeria-women/2016/04/01/21921362/how-nigeria-plans-to-redefine-womens-football [/b] |

The division regularly attracted top foreigners, as money was the biggest reason why the league became a big and attractive brand. Pepsi, the division's sponsor, pumped in $160,000, which allowed players to earn good wages, and receive both allowances and signup fees, especially from 1999 to 2001. However, in the intervening years, the highly revered league, arguably Africa's finest, has become a shadow of its former self. This is surely a big reason why the national team has struggled to retain its dominance and continue to establish its reputation on the continent. But change is afoot. https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/a2/30/nigeria-women-celebrate-awc-victory-25102014_136i8aq3yvbpj10mf11wvvhfgb.jpg?t=1280335433 The recent meetings between the NFF women's ad-hoc committee and stakeholders in Benin and Lokoja provided a platform to redefine the women's game and opened the discussion on how the NWPL can rediscover its lost lustre. Club managers, owners, fans and media representatives were in attendance at various venues to provide renewed hope of recovering the fast-fading reputation of the competition. In the wake of the development intent on taking women’s football to the next level,Goalchatted with some top stakeholders in the women's game to get their impressions on the NFF’s moves to reposition and restructure the competition. In a nutshell, they have thrown their weight behind the nation's footballing body as they endeavour to redefine the women's game, but also appealed for transparency and proper process. Here are the views of the NFF officials and selected stakeholders.... [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/d0/21/babagana-kalli-nff-board-member_cls41345xvvz1oj19xp6055hq.jpg?t=-1876079941[/img] Babagana Kalli, NFF board member and chairman, women’s ad-hoc committee: "My committee was tasked to come out with a road map for a governance structure for the women's league. The NFF president [Amaju Pinnick] deemed it necessary to reorganize the women's league due to the success the women's national teams have brought to the country. He believes that something must be to done to raise the standard of women's football in the country. What we are trying to do with governor is that the chairman will be an independent person and two independent directors, while another six directors will be representatives on the women's league board, selected from the geopolitical zones of the country. They will be the managers of the women's clubs. When the structure is put in place, people will witness a lot of changes in the organisation of the women's league. In those two meetings that we had with the stakeholders, we have two different programmes; the sensitization programme, and the enlightenment programme on the introduction of the new structure of governance. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/e9/ce/2014-federation-cup-finals_vprdi6sxavah1dreq7l96b2yd.jpg?t=-513699351[/img] It has become difficult for clubs in the women's league to manage their teams, considering the challenges they face that the men do not. Due to this, the NFF thought they needed to intervene and come up with strategies to reduce the challenges of the clubs in the women's league. I've have meetings with the stakeholders, and we have told them that the NFF are not in support of an election for now. The NFF is not against board elections, but let's allow the new governance structure, which is one of the innovations of the NFF, to improve the organisational standard of the women's league. Just as have seen the great impact in the men's league, which has been rated one of the best in Africa, we want to experiment this with other football leagues in the country. We will submit our report before next Thursday, and the Federation and the department of the Nigeria Women's Football League will soon resolve on the date for the women's league to kick off." [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers Watford AFCON ouster: Nigeria loss, Premier League gain [/size] Kelechi Iheanacho of Manchester City Nigeria fans will not be cheering the Super Eagles at Gabon 2017, but the fans of the English Premier League clubs of some of the country’s top stars will now be excited the players will be available for their darling clubs next January. The English clubs are known to be opposed to the timing of the AFCON as it always deprives them of the services of these players who are away for several weeks at a time the league is negotiating a crucial stage. MIKEL OBI: Chelsea will have the Super Eagles captain during the AFCON next year after he emerged as a key player for ‘The Blues’ under interim manager Guus Hiddink. KELECHI IHEANACHO:The Nigeria youngster has been revelation for coach Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City in the EPL as well as the cup games. By January, he would have done enough to impress new manager Pep Guardiola. VICTOR MOSES: Whether he is back at Chelsea, stays put on West Ham United or he is again loaned out to another club, Victor Moses will not be away with the Super Eagles at the AFCON. He has shone at ‘The Hammers’ this season to probably make a case from him to get his break at Stamford Bridge in the coming season under a new boss. ODION IGHALO:The Watford striker may not have it big with the national team, but he is the leading scorer of his team and one of the top scorers in the EPL this season having scored 15 goals in the league. He is very important to the team as they aim to retain their premiership status and also be a factor in January 2017 should he finally move to a bigger club most likely in the Premier League. africanfootball.com/news/623204/AFCON-ouster-Nigeria-loss-Premier-League-gain [/b] |

However he is still not eligible for the team in official games as he is yet to sign a professional deal which will most likely be the case when he turn 18. Zakari was suppose to spend time with the junior side of the title chasing side but since resuming with the team two weeks ago he has been training with the main team. He is presently with them in camp in Tunis and going by how much they rate the Nigeria U-17 World Youth Championship winner it won’t be long before he makes an impact at the team. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/03/31/zakari-impressive-in-first-game-for-sfaxien/ [/b] 1 Like |

The central midfielder has been in London for the past two weeks, specifically March 16, to put the finishing touches on the five-year contract he has agreed with the Emirates outfit. Arsenal will only begin processing Nwakali’s work permit in the summer when he would have attained the age of majority and the preliminary contract he signed becomes activated. “Kelechi Nwakali is not coming back to Nigeria, he has gone to London to stay,” a representative of the Diamond/ASJ Academy star told allnigeriasoccer.com. “He will do pre-season training with Arsenal. It is no longer in our hands if he’ll train with the first team or the Academy, they know the best for him. “His application for a work permit can only be processed after he clocks 18.” Kelechi Nwakali rose to prominence at the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, where he was named the Golden Ball winner and assisted the Golden Eaglets win the tournament for the fifth time.

Eagles were forced to 1-1 draw by the North Africans in the double header first leg clash on Friday at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna. Chikatara said the characteristic doggedness of typical Nigerian side will see the three-time African champions soar above the Pharaohs right there at their backyard in Alexandria. “Of course, there is 100% hope of Eagles winning today’s (Tuesday) Afcon qualifying match against the Pharaohs in Alexandria, Egypt. “Nobody gave Eagles chance against the Egyptians in the first leg encounter on Friday at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna. “However, Eagles surprised their doubters with the match opener and were on the verge of claiming the entire three points before the last minute mishaps that saw the Egyptians with late equaliser. “Eagles chance at progressing with a resounding victory is quite bright if not brighter than in the first leg in Kaduna. “Right now we are facing the wall and a typical Nigerian side are at their very best in such difficult position. “I strongly believe with determination to leave nothing to chance Eagles will shock the Pharaohs in Alexandria. “The encounter is certain to be tough for both sides but more on the Egyptians who will be under intense pressure playing before their teeming supporters. “The situation will greatly be in Nigeria’s advantage to apply the killer punch on the Egyptians,” said the Abia Warriors marksman to supersport.com. Egypt still lead Group G on four points with the withdrawal of Chad from the Afcon campaign with Nigeria trailing on two points and Tanzania on one point with a game to spare for the sides. Only the group winners are guaranteed an automatic spot for the 2017 Afcon final in West African state, Gabon. http://www.supersport.com/football/super-eagles/news/160329/Chikatara_okays_Eagles_win_v_Egypt [/b] 1 Like |

Nigeria's Super Eagles go head to head with their Egyptian counterparts, the Pharaohs, at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria, and Etebo is hopeful they can leave the North African nation with the full points on the back of their impressive play until a late Mohamed Salah cancelled out their lead in Kaduna last Friday. The 20-year-old scored for Nigeria in the reverse game which ended 1-1 and is keen to help his country to see off the Egyptians especially after the withdrawal of Chad from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifications has put them in a must-win situation to put themselves in contention to win their group. "Yes we are aware (of Chad's withdrawal and how it affects the group)," Etebo told supersport.com. "We know we have to win in Egypt though it will be a difficult game. Egypt too want to win this match. So it will be a tough game but like I said we want to win." The attacking striker said he has put aside his performance of last Friday and the focus is on Tuesday's game in Alexandria. "It was good to score in the last game, but that is in the past. Now the concentration is on the next game which is very important. I just want to help the team win," he said to supersport.com. Etebo, who was named 2015 Africa Most Promising Talent, has scored once in the ongoing Afcon qualification. http://www.supersport.com/football/super-eagles/news/160329/Etebo_holds_no_fear_for_Egypt [/b] 1 Like |

Nigeria face the Pharaohs in a make or mar encounter having failed to win the first leg of the double header qualifiers in Kaduna on Friday. The game ended 1-1 draw with the Eagles facing a Herculean task of winning the return leg which the Egyptians also need to consolidate their Group G top position. Yobo charged the Eagles not to be wary of meeting the Egyptians at home, adding that, in football it is not over until it is over. “I think with the situation on ground now, our team must not panick that they are meeting Egypt at home. They should raise their game. This is football anything can still happen. Nobody can take it away that we could have beaten Egypt at home. “This is not the time to give up, not until the last whistle on Tuesday. Thank goodness, we have good players and our technical crew are also equal to the task. I want to tell the boys that they can do it,” Yobo said. For ex-Eagles’ handler, Austin Eguavoen, playing attacking football is the only weapon Nigeria can use to defeat Egypt in Tuesday’s match in Borg El Arab, Alexandria. While admitting that the game will be tough, Eguavoen told Eagles that they are capable of inspiring a solid performance to stun Egypt. Meanwhile, Chairman of the technical committee of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has downplayed the withdrawal of Chad from the AFCON qualifying series as being dangerous for Eagles’ chances to qualify from the group. The withdrawal of Chad further reduces the chances of the Eagles to qualify as Nigeria now win their remaining two matches. Green said that the Eagles and their coaches are determined and will put their heart in it to ensure qualification is certain. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2016/03/29/dont-be-afraid-egypt-are-beatable-yobo-tells-eagles-egynga/ [/b] 1 Like |

Samson Siasia leads the Super Eagles out against Egypt in the reverse leg of their AFCON qualifier at the Borg El-Arab Stadium, Alexandria on Tuesday needing a win to stand a chance of qualifying for the tournament in Gabon next year following the withdrawal of Chad from the qualification series from Group G. Loscuito spoke with Completesportsnigeria.com on his thoughts from the game which kicks off 6pm Nigerian time. "Most Nigerians that I've spoken with seem to believe that the Super Eagles cannot qualify now after the 1-1 in Kaduna," the Belgian said. "I do not understand that reaction. Unfortunately there are two games left now with the withdrawal of Chad but I strongly believe Nigeria can win away in Egypt; there is still hope, no problem." Loscuito stressed that despite not working as assistant coach of the Eagles anymore, he still has the interest of the national team and Nigeria in mind. "Of course I want Nigeria to defeat Egypt despite not working there anymore. I pray God gives Nigeria victory. I also do not see Tanzania losing to Egypt in both sides' next game," the one-time ASFA Yenanga of Burkina Faso coach told Completesportsnigeria.com. Loscuito concluded by saying that all players of the Super Eagles are leaders in their own rights and must raise their games when the decisive match starts. "Mikel Obi may officially be team captain but no matter who is the captain, the most important thing is the victory. "On such days, we are all captains and must fight 100% for our country," Loscuito admonished. http://www.completesportsnigeria.com/loscuito-backs-eagles-egypt-wont-rule-tanzania/ [/b] 1 Like |
