There are three types of slave trades that were usually taught in history classes in Nigerian schools: the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, the Trans-Sahara Slave Trade and the Domestic Slave Trade.

There was slave trade in Northern Nigeria. There was domestic slave trade and the Trans-Saharan slave trade. Alhassan Dantata, Aliko Dangote's great grandfather was sold into slavery when he was young but he and his brother were able to free themselves.

KosiGee:
Falcons should be playing the Slovenia women national team and beating them convincingly.

We shouldn’t get hyper because they scored and won Nk Olympija women by a lone goal scored by Oparanozie.

The team is full of talents and has great potentials but has seriously under performed…that’s why we have Zambia Shipolopolo at Tokyo disgracing Africa at the Olympics. Falcons need to raise their game. They have struggled terribly against teams like Ghana, South Africa and most recently Cameroun.

Austeeenxx:
But why this team no qualify for Olympics?
That Zambian women's team no be am.

1) Some NFF officials wanted to pick the players and the coach refused, so he didn't coach the team for that qualifying series against Ivory Coast. We used an acting coach for the qualifying series. The main coach, Thomas Dennerby, eventually left the team because he refused to allow anyone else to select the players. Some NFF officials wanted to punish some players by freezing them out of the team.

2) As I said, some NFF officials wanted to freeze some players out of the team because they protested that the NFF did not want to pay some players their allowance. Desire Oparanozie , who was the captain at the time, was one of the players that was frozen out.

3) Many of our foreign based stars did not play in that series. If I remember correctly, it was just Asisat Oshoala and Francisca Ordega that were our major players that played in that series.

Therefore we lost (0-0 in Abidjan and 1-1 in Lagos. We lost on away goals rule).

This is Desire Oparanozie's first match back in the Super Falcons since the NFF effectively banned her from the team in 2019 because, as captain, she demanded that the NFF should pay all the players their allowances. She had to write a letter of apology before the NFF allowed her back into the team.

Remember that it was a Desire Oparanozie free kick that gave Nigeria victory against South Africa in the semi-final of the 2016 African Women's Nations Cup.

Players in the camp.

The Super Falcons defeated Slovenian side NK Olimpija 1-0 yesterday courtesy of a typical Desire Oparanozie free kick. The Randy Waldrum coached side are camping in Austria ahead of the Aisha Buhari Invitational Football Tournament in Lagos and the Nations Cup qualifying matches against Ghana.
