Is that not inside great Ife?

AIG07:
when is this tournament kicking off?

about 2 weeks from now. I think August 1 or 5

Surely, PDP will win Ikere Ekiti, as there is strong tribal following for Eleka. Apart from Ikere, and Ado (marginal for PDP), I dont see PDP winning any other LG.

This is a damning indictment on GEJ. He absolutely rigged 2014 for Fayose, and did it brainlessly. 16-0 against an incumbent?

Breaking news. First LGA officially declared. Ilejemeje. APC won by about 230 votes.
1-0 to Fayemi.

Results so far

The poorly rigged 2014 elections.

Ekiti elections are going to be easy to win or lose. The votes are not much. In fact, the winner will probably have about 300,000 votes. That is a workable number. The strongest hold of PDP or APC can be identified, and effectively suppressed. The other places, votes could be bought. With federal might swinging towards APC, I expect them to suppress PDP strongholds and massively amplify APC strongholds.

If truly APC is able to buy Ekiti people, then the blame should be on Fayose for putting his people up for sale. All those 200 naira bread empowerment, stomach infrastructure, free kerosene, free petrol, etc just put a price on Ekiti voters. If I have 100 million USD, I will be a governor in Ekiti with a landslide victory.

Btw, why is Eleka so quiet? Is the guy alive? does he really want to be governor?

2014 was really really poor. In fact, APC has not done 0.001% of what PDP did with Fayose. Fayose was not the governor, but he was controlling the police, soldier, etc.
It is no surprising that Fayose is apprehensive of what could befall him. He really has bitten more than he can chew. All these people pitying Fayose were the same shouting 16-0.

Fayose, chief propagandist for the enemies of Nigeria. We only need to look at the antecedence of both Fayose and Buhari. The Buhari I know will not do what the Fayose I know is accusing him of.

Fayose forgot 4 years ago. The whole Nigeria watched as he used federal might to muzzle opposition, so much he went on to claim a 16-0 victory.

This should be a lesson for all politicians in Nigeria. The precedence you set will catch up with you and your children. Fayose should better apply for Libya visa on Monday. I heard a new officer in EFCC from Konduga has been stationed on Fayose's case. They say that officer once punched a cow to death.

Jokes apart... Fayose really has to go. He rides on impunity too much. I hope the people of Ekiti get it right on Saturday. Not paying salary but promising touts 50k per night is really rubbing it in.

​Rasheedat Ajibade is captain of the Nigeria U-20 women's team
She will appear in her fourth FIFA competition at France 2018
Capped at senior level, she could also feature at France 2019
Rasheedat Ajibade seems destined for a career at the very top. Still only 18, the FC Robo player is creating a buzz on the Nigerian football scene, having earned her first senior call-up in February after starring for her country's U-17 and U-20 sides. Named as Nigeria's young female player of the year shortly after her recent promotion, Ajibade continues to break new ground at a remarkable pace.

Fortunately, the youngster feels right at home when moving quickly. Ajibade is no stranger to 'getting her skates on', having earned success in rollerblading before switching sports. "That was my number one hobby," she explains. "I put a lot of time into it and performed at a very good level. I was even champion of the state of Lagos. Then football entered my life."

Ajibade was ten years old when she took off her skates and decided to focus on her ball skills. "I found the game fun and a way of bringing people together," she says. "I missed the whole 'team spirit' aspect when I was rollerblading." Joining FC Robo in search of that shared experience, she soon caught the eye of Emmanuel Osahon Orobosa, who convinced her to dedicate her talents to football.

Player Profile

Born: 8 December 1999 in Mushin, Lagos, Nigeria
Height: 5'5
Position: Attacking midfielder/forward
Club: FC Robo
Idols: Marta and Cristiano Ronaldo​
He was soon proved right. Ajibade made a stunning impact, as she honed her abilities, breaking into Nigeria's U-17 team before stepping up to the U-20s – and contesting three FIFA Women's World Cup finals across those age categories. She also finished top scorer in the African qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Papua New Guinea 2016, and promptly repeated the feat on the road to France 2018 by finding the net in all six games.

"We play a very attacking style of football, which suits me perfectly," she says, explaining away her qualifying record with admirable modesty. Ajibade's eye for goal seems to know no bounds, however, and after making her senior debut in February, she marked her second cap with a hat-trick against Senegal. "I really didn't expect to be called up by the Super Falcons," she recalls. "It was a wonderful surprise, and obviously, it was an experience I really enjoyed."

Her focus now is on shining once again for the U-20s. The 2018 edition of the U-20 Women's World Cup is looming on the horizon, and Ajibade is hungry to impress on the global stage. "Every time I take part in this event is another dream come true for me," she says. "I can't wait to test myself against the best and to show the world what I can do. There's no better opportunity."

Judging by her progress so far, the No10 can expect an even better chance next year – at the FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019™. "I hope so. If it happens, that would be another dream come true, but one that's even bigger, more beautiful and more extraordinary."

Nigeria's U20 female team, the falconets

Good drills. 29 days before Nigeria's first game. We should be playing international friendlies from next week. We play Germany in the 1st match. It wont be easy if we're not ready.

miqos02:
we came back with 3points and 3million dollars

Yeah. More money for Pinnick. We will be lucky if 10% of that money is accounted for.

Pinnick has done nothing to move Nigerian football forward. The female teams are languishing in suffering while he is doing big boy with corrupt FIFA exco. We spent billions of naira to prepare for world cup, only to come back with ONLY 3 points. Shame

Ikenna0b:
If it's true that shittes are getting trained for terrorism, then the blame falls squarely on boofari's head. There's so much you can do to people before they snap. The Shiites are usually more peaceful compared to their Sunni counterparts. I'm not sure but I do believe that most terrorist groups worldwide are predominately sunnis. I don't think there's any Shiites terrorist group or there. If they start terrorism in Niggeria, boofari pushed them to that direction with the excess killings and harassing of their people.

It's a good thing IPOB is a predominately Christian group and Christians are against unnecessary attacks of innocent. If not, with the amount of pushing boofari and his minions have done to IPOB, they probably would have followed the parts of Shiites reaction if they were Muslims

You are grolly ill-informed. You think these trainings started 3 years ago? Was Buhari in power when caches of weapon were discovered in Lebanese business in Nigeria? If you know how much NIA and DSS are working underground to quench these Shiite incursions, you will be grateful.

Lets pray NFF has some change left for the falconets preparations for France.

Somebody please provide her details. We Nigerians are better than 93k.

Rohr stay to do what? What did we play at Russia that Onigbinde didn't play. Keshis team was much better than this. Rohr was spoilt for choice and he did not manage well. This team is weak albeit young. Rohr is not the messiah. Sack Rohr now

Nigeria vs Argentina is looking more and more like Nigeria vs Algeria. Similar playmaker style, similar proud players, only that Argentina is an old and experienced squad.

VAR is by Europeans for Europeans. SO MANY clear decisions omitted or decided in favour of Europeans.

goldfish80:
Who tops the group if the game between England vs Belgium ends in a draw?
GD same and goals scored same, would it go down to fair play?

Belgium will beat England.

Ighalo DID NOT BEG ROHR TO COME IN.
After rewatching our win against Iceland many times, especially FIFA.com highlight, I can safely say Ighalo was not begging to come on. He was already warming up before the goal. After the goal, he asked if he was still NEEDED or if the coach wanted to defend the 2 goals, in which case he wouldnt need to increase his warm up tempo.

diadem10:
Did you watch Di Maria performance as a box-box CM for Madrid, albeit for 6 months? As a matter of fact he's more consistent as a box-box than as a winger.
Anyway, I doubt Argentina would employ a wise route against us. There are in disarray already but one fact is Musa will be marked out 'cos all eyes is already on him.

Iheanacho will be happy about that. I am hearing Rojo will be deployed to partner Otamendi in central defence.

komekn:
England flogged Panama 6-1

It's on this forum that it was stated Kane is over hyped by quite a few.

The England team is rubbish, English players are not good just media hype .

Well I wonder what they will say now.

Harry Kane so far. 2 tap ins (vs Tunisia), 2 Penalties (Panama), One deflection (panama).

Shukusheka:
No coach whether sane or insane would start 6 strikers in a match. Haba.

Sanity is not prevailing in the Argentine camp at the moment. Apparently the players are to pick the starting 11, while the coach just siddon look.

Going by history, Argentina vs Nigeria has always been tough, and usually seperated by a moment of lapse by Nigeria. We sure can change that on Tuesday.

diadem10:
Banega, Lo celso are good midfielders. Dimaria is also a good boxbox CM.
I think the best way Argentina can utilise their best players is to deploy a 442 diamond with Messi at the tip of the diamond behind Dybala and Aguero as the forwards. Get in Dimaria and Banega behind Messi with either Lo Celso or Mascherano anchoring the base of the midfield. If I were the coach, I would pick Lo Celso and move Mascherano to the CB position or even bench him.

For where? Forget that thought. Argentina wont even try to control the midfield. I think they will just want to throw the kitchen sink at us. 6 strikers and 4 defenders. Moses and Musa must be licking their lips.

Is it just me or VAR decisions seem to favour European teams more? Officiating generally has favoured European teams.

Argentina to revert to 4-4-2 against Nigeria. Ajekun Iya.

With Omeruo helping prevent Messi's wing run-in, I am quite confident we can overun this argentina team. They will come out and we will punish them on the counter.

Line up is out. I think it is a decently attacking lineup and we should be able to attack at pace. Optimistic.

lexyman:
this Argentina that i am watching can not beat Croatia ... unless they short of one man . they lack the bite , similar to what SE had during our match

Croatia are a well drilled team. They seem to be able to nullify Argentina just the way they made us look ordinary.
