Story. Vote Obi. Don't sell your vote for 5k.

Problems are coming, just pray and be careful of the people around you. God will see you out of the storm.

Vote Obi to end every day strikes.

U well?

Who she help? She should first use her influence to tell her ASUU members to suspend their useless strike, then, celebrating her achievements would start.

May there be confusion and issues in the Dutch camp.

May God cause confusion for the Dutch.

Before the 2022 U-20 Women’s World Cup, many outside the shores of The Netherlands had not heard the name Nina Iyobosa Nijstad, and understandably so, as the 19-year-old was not a popular name in Europe’s women football.

Her talents are undeniable though, and Nijstad made The Netherlands team to the ongoing U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica.

However, there is another unique fact about the teenage defender outside of the pitch and away from Europe. And it lies in another continent entirely – Africa – precisely Nigeria.

Nijstad’s middle name ‘Iyobosa’ originates from the Edo region of Nigeria and means ‘God is my helper’. The left-back was born to a Nigerian father and a Dutch mum in The Netherlands, where she was also raised.

Her club career is well underway, with the youngster turning up for SC Heerenveen in the Women’s Eredivisie, having made her debut for the side on March 12, 2021.

Now, perhaps through sheer coincidence or fate, Njistad is set for a face-off against her father’s country Nigeria in the quarter-finals of the U-20 Women’s World Cup at the Estadio Alejandro stadium in Costa Rica .

With both countries chasing a first gold medal at the tournament, there is added incentive for an entertaining display and Njidstad could be handed the unwanted role of villain should The Netherlands sink Nigeria’s hopes.

Having started two games out of three for the Oranje side, the teenager has made the left-back role hers in the competition, hardly putting a foot wrong in defence and also testing opposition keepers on occasion when the team is in ascendancy.

As delightful as the Falconets have been in the competition, exiting the group stage with a perfect result of three wins from three, they however face a tough test when they come up against Nijstad’s side.

Victories over France, South Korea, and Canada secured maximum points and the top spot in Group C for coach Chris Danjuma Musa’s side and it is the first time Nigeria will win their opening three matches in ten appearances across twenty years at the World Cup.

The Dutch girls on the other hand finished as runners-up in Group D behind defending champions Japan. At the tournament, only Spain (eight) have scored more goals than the Oranje (seven).

And with the Falconets boasting one of the meanest defences at the World Cup, an intriguing contest is on the cards at the Alejandro stadium in a battle of the immovable object and the irresistible force.

On an individual note, the battle between Nijstad and Esther Onyenezide of the Falconets will be an interesting one as Onyenezide is the second highest goalscorer with three goals, one behind Spain’s Inma Gabarro.

Will Nijstad stop Onyenezide and the Falconets from progressing to the semi-finals or will Nigeria get another chance to win gold at the U-20 Women’s World Cup?

True.

emorse:
Actually she does. But with the state of our economy, even if she's paid that much, inflation will eat it all up. We should be fighting for a better economy and not higher pay.

Two Sisters had a fight over a Pastor in the State Capital of Akwa Ibom, Uyo. The elder sister went to the pastor's home only to find her younger sister with only a wrapper on her body, the pastor had gone out to buy food stuffs. On return to find the sisters fighting the pastor went into the house through the back door took a few of his things and left on a bike.

An akwa ibom lady has come out to say that any man who wants to marry her must first build a house for her father and family before marriage. Her comments have gone viral on radio stations in the state. What do you think?
