That's a bad response and it says a lot why she's still single at such an old age. She must have passed the normal thresold age for her to be reminded of such. And it takes a caring family member to still have the time to remind her that "Time waits for no man"

My instinct tells me that vast majority of female folks supporting her rude and disrespectful behaviour would be aged 30 and above. It's not because they re happy with their situations but because they feel they have found a new way of staying relevant.

Ladies, take it or leave it, if you are 30 years and above and still single, you are not just outdated but also expired. There's no hope for you because you are worthless; no amount of 'waiting for the right time' would save your situation.

We guys have found new life and bright future in young girls. Gone are those days when age matters in choosing partners, not anymore. Young girls understand, live and give it far better than the old cargoes. It just a pity how the tide has turned.

Sir, women and men should be left to decide for themselves when they choose to get married. If someone says he/she wants to marry at the age of 32 or 35, let them be. Moreover, women in their early 40s or late 30s are still fertile and can conceive a baby.

However, he reply to her aunt was rude and a bit over the top. She could have replied in a firm but polite manner.

figment232:
That is how one was pressuring another lady about Marriage meanwhile she has only 1 child for her husband for the past 13years of being married.

Do you know whether they agreed to have only one child?

Well, it should be exciting to fight for world cup places. Many many good players to be invited. I think this AWCON has exposed areas that need urgent attention. Osas Igbinovia has to come in for Rita Chikwelu.
Our ever dependable wing back has to be brought back, and I believe the former captain also needs to be brought back.
Attackers like Courtney Dike should be brought back to compete for places. Uchechi Sunday also needs to go to France.

Preparation is key and from what I saw, the girls need at least 2 months INTENSIVE camping to reach a fitness level needed for world cup. Even after that, they then need another 3 weeks or so for technical and tactical trainings. For now, we need to start playing friendly matches.

Not sure whether Courtney Dike is playing professional football. Remember she was invited for the AWCON but didn’t show up. So she may have ditched football following her graduation from college.

Bulletproof:
Anyone watching Spain u-17 women soccer team.
This young girls can beat any african senior team!

Mehn...see balling

Ayam telling you!
The technique on display by the Spanish, Mexican, and Japanese teams is far above anything we’ve seen at the AWCON.

I just wonder how the African reps at next year’s World Cup would fare when they come up against the more polished senior sides from Japan or the US

safarigirl:
we cannot step up and host anything. We could barely organise African Athletics Competition, how much more AFCON?

How many of our stadiums are up to standard and how many will be up to standard by June?

We have elections coming in February, you think anybody will have time for AFCON organisation during election period in Nigeria? Aside that, Dalung and Pinnick are still having their cold war, do you think we can successfully organise such a competition in the middle of that war? Bear in mind, the stadiums are government property and not NFFproperty, you will need government approval before you go to CAF to drop proposal. Which government will answer anybody by next year?

We cannot host AFCON in an election year and we don't need to host it. Make our players go enjoy other people country.

Let SA host it, after all, they are going to need that AFCON 2019 ticket after Libya knocks them out of contention in March

Remember that Nigeria hosted the 1999 U-20 World Cup in April of that year, barely 2 months after that year’s presidential election. And the organization of that tournament was close to flawless.

Moreover, Naija also hosted the All Africa Games in 2003 - another election year. So there is precedent of the country being able to host major sporting events in election years.

Now, to your assertion that the FG would be reluctant to allow the NFF use its stadia for hosting the tournament, the NFF could ask Akwa Ibom, Delta, and Lagos states for permission to use their state stadia for the competition.

The difficult part of any NFF plan to host the AFCON would be the receipt of a government guarantee to host it. This is where the feud between Pinnick and Dalung may result in Dalung successfully convincing Buhari to decline such a govt guarantee.

FT
Cameroon 4 - 2 Mali
Really feel for the Malians, next time they should carry better goalkeeper come

Congrats to the Cameroonians!!
It’s a well-deserved WC qualification

If possible, the Falcons should participate in either the Algarve Cup or the SheBelieves Cup next year.

Alternatively, 3 or 4 friendly games should be lined up for the team before the World Cup. And those matches should be executed with the present squad + 6 other players who would be part of the provisional squad. I don’t want to see a situation where Dennerby calls up 50 players to camp.

.

So I completed a simulated draw for the World Cup on FIFA’s site. And I put Naija (as CAF 1) in a favorable group

Just watched the SA v Mali highlights, and all the goal mouth action was in the Malian goal
And SA’s second goal was an absolute beauty! The SF have a real fight on their hands on Saturday.

Between now and Saturday, something has to be done by Dennerby to improve the linkage between the midfield and attack. Aside from the Equatorial Guinea match, the connection between the mids and forwards has been below average, which makes the team’s attacking moves so disjointed.

Congrats to the Super Falcons!

I was asking same question

I doff my hat for numbers 1 and 3 from the left

The savior - Giroud - will turn this game around

Semifinal
Cameroon v Nigeria on Tuesday at 4:30pm

FT: Equatorial Guinea 0-6 Nigeria
FT: South Africa 1-1 Zambia

Oshoala now has 13 career AWCON goals

Anam Imo should be hitting the target from that range

Goal
Oparanozie makes it 5-0

gbosaa:
Kindly explain how South Africa would be on a goal difference of -1. Are you aware that they scored 1 against Nigeria and 7 against Zambia while conceding only 1 goal.

Presently, they are on 7+.

It’s because the results of the 3 teams concerned (Naija, SA, and Zambia) against Equatorial Guinea would be disregarded, per CAF rules

ifenadi:
What if nigeria win E.Guinea and Zambia wins S.A with 3 teams finishing on 6 pts, how do head to head comes into play? With this scenario now, S.A is ahead of Nig on head to head, Nig ahead of Zambia and Zambia ahead of S.A.

In that scenario, the goal difference in matches involving the three teams (Nig v SA, Zambia v SA, Nigeria v Zambia only) would be the next tie-breaker.

Nigeria’s GD would be +3
South Africa’s GD would be at least -1 or lower
Zambia would be at least -3

That means, per your scenario, that Nigeria would win the group, and South Africa would be runners up. But if Zambia beat SA by a 3-goal margin, the Zambians will advance with Nigeria.

Schemerkhiz:
Onome Ebi @35 really did well in containing that Zambian top9 with her experience and Aeriel abilities .. I couldn't believe it because that girl is so strong and fast.

Yes, Onome has held her own in this tournament, thus far.

But at 35 (36 at the World Cup), would she have the energy to handle the speedy and tricky American or French forwards? I put her in my fantasy 11 because the strong midfield would do an ok job in shielding her from lots of opposition pressure.

I personally feel that she should retire after the World Cup.

I know it’s super early, but this would be my ideal formation at the World Cup:

———————Nnadozie———————

—-Njoku——Ohale—-Ebi—-Ebere—-

————Nwabuoku—Ayinde—————-

————————Okobi————-

——-Oshoala——Umotong——Ordega——

I have a gut feeling that the likes of Umotong and Igbinovia would make the World Cup squad, while Courtney Dike, Sophia Omidji, Uchechi Sunday would also make the provisional squad.

naijaseeker:
I will suggest this line up :

———————Nnadozie—————-

-Chukwunonye--Nnodim--Ohale--—-Ebele——

—————————Ayinde———————-

—————Okobi————Ajibade——-

———Oshoala/Ihezue ——-Ihezue/Oshoala —-Ordega—-

Ebi is frankly becoming a little bit tired. Chukwunonye made all the difference against Zambia and Nnodim though small is very solid. Oparanozie misses opportunities and hardly joins in build ups. She is a typical Yekini type up 9. Ihezue falls back and with the fronts ready to fall back to the mid field, they can be hardly played out. If they do not move up as needed, Oparanozie can be brought in. Jokes apart, Ajibade is good. Two solid attacking midfielders with 3 fronts will pack up the mid field and put the Cameroonians out of play.

I’d rather Ihezuo come in for Oparanozie. As you said, Ihezuo tracks back and presses opposing defenders well. Her strength will complement the pace and trickery of Oshoala and Ordega.

Even more trouble for Trump and his company

Mustack:
Current standing pls

After 2 games played:
South Africa 6pts
Nigeria 3pts
Zambia 3pts
Equatorial Guinea 0

- Nigeria is ahead of Zambia due to a better head-to-head record.

- Nigeria will advance to the semifinal with a win over Eq. Guinea.

- Nigeria will win the group if Zambia beats SA, and Nigeria beats Equatorial Guinea.

- Nigeria also advances to the semifinals if they draw with Eq. Guinea, and the South Africa v Zambia match also ends in a draw.

Wow. What a finish in Group A! I feel some sympathy towards the Ghanaians on being eliminated at home

The Super Falcons should, as Ghana did, put the Cameroonians on the back-foot from the blast of the whistle. The Lionesses aren’t as invincible as I thought, or were they bring conservative because they only needed a draw today?

HT: Cameroon 1-1 Ghana
Algeria 1-0 Mali

As it stands, both Cameroon and Ghana are going through.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!

Tulsi Gabbard, another bad role model that the democrats have as a leader. Watch your language ma'am, kids are watching. SMH

She’s also a serving military officer in the National Guard. But I believe she won’t get into trouble with her superior officers because she is also a US Congresswoman.

mostob:
But Tochukwu has not perform poorly na

It’s just to give Nnadozie some competition experience

olapluto:
I'll rest Ordega and start Ihezuo. We need a fit and active bench for the knock out stages.

Even Ordega could have a cameo for, say, the last 10 or 15 minutes of the match
