2024 U-20 WWC: Falconets Outclass Venezuela 4-0, Seal Round Of 16 Ticket

Nigeria’s Falconets have qualified for the round of 16 at the 2024 FIFA U-20 women’s World Cup after a comfortable 4-0 win against Venezuela in their final Group D game on Saturday.

Goals from Amina Bello, Chiamaka Ukwuchukwu, Flourish Sebastine and Joy Igbokwe, sealed the team’s passage into the next round.

The Falconets went into the game knowing an outright win will guarantee their passage into the first knockout round.

After opening their campaign with a 1-0 win against South Korea, the Falconets lost 3-1 to Germany.

In the group’s other game, South Korea pipped Germany 1-0 to record their first win of the tournament.

Germany ended as group winners after amassing six points from three matches, while the Falconets finished second also on six points.

South Korea placed third with four points and Venezuela placed bottom with just one point.

Other teams who have also progressed into the round of 16 are France, hosts Colombia, Brazil and Mexico.

Okwuchukwu had the first real chance of the game in the 12th minute but fired straight into the arms of the Venezuelan keeper from close range off a Flourish Sebastine pass.

The Falconets opened the scoring in the 16th minute thanks to Bello who was set up by Okwuchukwu.

🤣 Some of the comments here are very funny.

Everybody and anybody that watches the news and sees, for example, events at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa, would know that the people on the right are usually government officials, while the people on the left are usually visitors. In this case, the people on the left are the Nigerians living in China.

Anyone with eyes can also read and see where it was written that,

In his remarks, Dr. Oche Barnabas, President of NIDO China, commended President Tinubu for his commitment to strengthening Nigeria-China relations, particularly in trade, investment, and people-to-people collaboration.

He expressed NIDO China's support for Nigeria's 4Ds initiative, launched by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, earlier in the year.

He pledged that the organization is eager to drive the initiative forward within the diaspora community.

Mr. Barnabas requested President Tinubu’s assistance in advocating for Nigeria to be officially recognized as a native English-speaking nation, which would open up job and educational opportunities for Nigerians in China.

''Your Excellency, I wish to indulge your kind attention and use this rare opportunity to share a key challenge on behalf of the Nigeria community in China. Due to the peculiar nature of this country, the Nigerian community is mainly composed of students, expatriates, and businessmen.

''Our desire is that Nigeria is officially recognized as a native English-speaking nation in China. We believe your esteemed engagements with the high-level authorities can assist us in establishing this status.

''Presently, over 70% of available international jobs in China are reserved for native English speakers. In 2016, the local authorities listed South Africa as a native English-speaking nation.

''We believe Nigeria has a chance to receive similar recognition due to the fact that English language is our official language and we are also blessed with Professor Wole Soyinka who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986.

''We believe the enhancement of our status will open more opportunities to allow more Nigerians to study and work in China, thereby increasing diaspora remittance to Nigeria,'' he said.

The Chairman of NIDO China pledged that the organization would continue to contribute their expertise and resources to support President Tinubu’s administration and efforts to elevate Nigeria’s global standing.

And that the people that he was addressing (the people on the left) are:

But, of course you can't wake people that are pretending to be asleep.
