Until Pinnick leaves NFF, we will struggle to pay our players. He has no conscience. Sponsorship money? Swallowed. FIFA payments? Swallowed. Government bail out? Swallowed.
Players now get a paltry 5000 naira after attending international tournaments. Pinnick is using the recession as a lie to steal more money. Sponsor payments are in USD, which means more Naira is available to NFF. How did he spend it?

Everyone seems to forget that government does not pay the players. The NFF is supposed to be the ones to pay players. The NFF should be independent of government.
The NFF we have today is the most corrupt in Nigeria's history. Our U17 were given a paltry 5000 naira after a tournament. That is less than 150,000 naira for all team members. That money is perhaps cheaper than the wrist watch Amaju Pinnick's child wears.
One falconet player had mental issues due to the let down by this same NFF. Mr. Pinnick seems to have cornered all the sponsorship money accrued to the NFF and is toying with national team players.
For winning the AFCON, CAF will also pay Nigeria some money. Is Mr Pinnick planning to siphon this too?
For our last match away at Zambia, NFF begged Nigerian government for 100 million naira bail out. The government obliged after it was ambushed. Now it seems NFF want to use the falcons as an ambush tool again. They know we have a dull sports minister who seems to be uninterested in sports anyway.

CAF wanting to placate Cameroon with the individual awards. I think Alaba Jonathan is by far the best goalie in the tournament. The Cameroonian goalie was hardly tested, and she failed on the one occasion she was tested.

Cameroonians have started their dirty tactics of trying to destabilise the team. I think thats a good motivation for the falcons.

Faith was left naked time and again by Ordega. She still saved the match for us with 2 goal line clearances. How do u know Ebere is better wen she has only played on the right.

The time Ngozi played, she was much better and more aggresive than Ikidi. I think Ikidi should have been replaced at half time yesterday. Ebere should start the final. Although I dont expect the coach to make the changes. Favouritism is the reason Nigerian coaches fail and you see Rohr excelling because he no dey look face.

Looking at the replay of that freekick. It seems as if Oparanozie summoned all her ancestors into one leg. The keeper even flew to the other side.

Only one substitution. The coach completely wore down our midfielders.

Forget about Nigeria getting any penalties even if our player is shot in the box. The whole of Africa is against Nigeria and it will be near impossible to win the final.
Coach Omagbemi is tactically average.

Obvious weaklinks in the team are Captain and Ikidi. If the coach can bring in Igbinovia and Ebere, then we will win this match easy. Captain is tired!

Faith Ikidi should not return at half time. Shes the weak link.

Cameroon extremely physical. Even lunging into tackles with studs up. The ref for the final has to be brave.

Meanwhile...the small business of South Africa has to be attended to.

Nigeria vs South Africa. I predict 3-0 to the super falcons. Maybe 3 -1. That 1 will be a dodgy goal given by the referee.

I have been trying to pay for passport for my child and the Nigerian Immigration have used a contractor which is not serious. I cannot pay for my child without registering my debit card with the company. To register, I need to SCAN MY DEBIT CARD TO THEM! No where in the world do you scan your debit card to any company.
Has anyone gone through this? How did you solve it?

Everyone blaming Buhari's government for this are ill-informed. NFF is not under Nigerian government. In fact, last month, NFF received 100 million from the government for U20 and Super eagles matches. The questions should be asked of what NFF did with that money and the sponsorship monies.

BascoVanVeli:
I blame supersports for removing the camera from Oshoala after she got fouled and refusing to show the replay. They should have shown the penalty appeal and let the viewer decide. It seems nobody wants the falcons to win. It is us against the world, or in this case us against Africa.

With fair officiating, NO TEAM in that AWCON can beat the super falcons. However, it seems there is a consensus amongst other Africans to deny Nigeria the cup by all means.

Nigeria vs Egypt or Nigeria vs South Africa. I prefer Nigeria vs South Africa.

After the dust has settled, I think the girls did quite OK yesterday. We might have expected a stronger performance, but we were in control and should have won yesterday. It is also good that this came in the group stage. Ghana parked the bus but our attack still penetrated them a few times.
Against Kenya, I expect to see our 2nd team. Let the likes of Ebere, Okobi, Oparanozie, Iroka, and maybe even the substitute keeper. We have already qualified for semi final anyway, except Kenya beat us by 4-0.

Our coach was standing on the by line yet she couldn't see anything for a very long time. wogu, chikwelu, ikidi & igbinovia were poor & slow thruout. They kept the team under pressure throughout the game misplacing passes. i wonder why she prefers ikidi to ebere as a LB because ebere is far better class than her. This has always being the bane of our local coaches- selection and tactics. The girls were slow & only interested in long balls to the strikers. They need to hold the ball & pass not loading it.

Ikidi and Ebere dont play the same position.

We will lose the final to a referee decision. Mark it down!

Ref is South African. Why am I not surprised?

The responses so far are really depressing. Childishly and stupidly putting down the only army you have is akin to supporting Boko Haram.

RIP to the soldiers. You sacrificed yourselves for Nigeria and Nigerians should respect them for that. The idiots blaming the army here cannot even hold cutlass on patrol for a night.

denniece1:
U mean amapele?

Their captain

The best Ghanaian player was an unused sub at Rivers Angel. They cannot trouble Nigeria. Minimum 4-0.

Full match with English and French commentaries... Nigeria vs Mali

lakesidepapa:
Rita chikuwelu played Okobi Position and she was very good today.. Rita is a midfield maestro, see those distributions and blocks from Rita is Ngozi better than her?

Nope. Halimatu Ayinde played Okobi's position, and I believe she will make way for Okobi in the next match.

Today, Ngozi Okobi and Desire Oparanozie did not play! Imagine what could have happened if they played.

Somebody better beg Oshoala to stop. This girl will score 50 here today ooo

Oshoala Hattrik!

Omeruo's babe just scored again

The inevitable Oshaoala goal. 2-0 Nigeria

Goal... Francisca Ordega scores her trademark goal.

Faith Ikidi is playing superb. Tiki Taka by the Falcons, so far, no goals. About 3 attempts on Goal by Nigeria.

This link was slow yesterday and today it's not working from my end.

This will be slower, but manageable. The technical aspects of the hosting is generally poor anyway.
