Deploying the Indian-style Electronic Voting Machines for Naija elections won’t be a bad idea.

Basically, the Indian EVMs are stand-alone machines that aren’t connected to the internet and are virtually not hackable. These machines can record up to 2,000 votes per polling unit, and counts and tabulates votes within minutes.

In fact, those machines are so efficient that they tabulated over 640 million votes cast in the last Indian general elections, in less than one day.

So, if 40-50 million voters show up to the polls in the 2027 elections, those machines may be capable to tabulate the results within minutes/hours of the polls closing.

Na joke o, BB is beyond 2nd class to football in 9ja. As far as 9ja is concernee, it's like expecting badminton players to receive tennis prize money.

Well, D’Tigress are arguably the 2nd most successful Nigerian national team, behind the Super Falcons, so logically, it would be fair for the same government to give them a similar or slightly lower cash gift

If D’Tigress win the Afrobasket, will Tinubu also give them US$100,000? 😂

2 years ago today, Victor Osimhen scored two goals in 4 minutes in Napoli's 4–0 win against Hatayspor in his first pre-season match!

⚽: 23' Osimhen V.
⚽: 27' Osimhen V.

No be today baba don dey tear Turkish teams 😂
Lion King 🦁👑🇳🇬

He is an example of a player that shows workings 😁

D’Tigress will meet the winner between Cameroon and Angola on July 31 at 10pm Nigerian time..

Interestingly, Otis Hughley lost his first ever Women’s Afrobasket match, following Senegal’s loss to Uganda yesterday.

I agree that we need a more sustainable way of supporting women’s football in the long term. The short term gifts are nice though

Ugonne Onyiah
Gabrielle Abigor

Anyone knows more about the ladies above? They play in basketball in the USA and one plays in the WNBA.

Don’t know them. Will look them up.
Who knows, they, alongside Kiki, Michaela etc may suit up for us at the World Cup

FT:

Nigeria 60-55 Mozambique. 🇳🇬 now advances to the quarterfinals!

Also, D’Tigress are now 26-0 in Afrobasket play

D’Tigress will take on Mozambique, today, at 4pm Nigerian time

England are back to back Euro champions!

Actually, nff don cut the cake prior to now. Only $330k will land in the players hands asides the owed bonuses and allowances. 670k to NFF coffees for their unimaginable non-sporty pleasures.

As of today, we are hearing they want to pay the 330k in naira and not dollars. NFF and controversy are Siamese twins. That body dey behave like bureau de change. Once money don pop up, they display unsportsmanlike xtics. 😂

Wawu!

So that means each player will receive $13,750 (21 million Naira). Not too bad sha

BTW, the Super Falcons will receive $1 million (N1.5 billion) as prize money

Echegini’s winner was the Super Falcons’ 190th WAFCON goal! And I believe number 200 would be scored at next year’s tournament

Interestingly, the SF scored 4 goals in the group stage, but ran riot in the supposedly tougher knockout rounds by scoring 10 goals in the knockout stages 🤯

Meanwhile, the Super Falcons win over 🇲🇦 was their 50th ever WAFCON victory! What a way to reach their milestone victory at the very finale 🙌🏽

D’Tigress are now 25-0 in Afrobasket play; and 30-0 against African teams in all competitions!!

Moreover, Coach Wakama is 6-0 in Afrobasket play🙌🏽

Goals and Assists

Chiwendu Ihezuo- 3 Goals/0 Assists
Esther Okoronkwo- 1 Goal/3 Assists
Rasheedat Ajibade- 1 Goal/2 Assists
Rinsola Babajide- 1 Goal/1 Assist
Oshoala, Ohale, Demehin, Alozie, Ijamilusi- 1 Goal 0 Assists
Payne, Plumptre- 1 Assist

Nnadozie- Semi-Assist 🥱


As it stands, we have 3 outfield players up for golden book and ball top 3 in Ihezuo, Okoronkwo, Ajibade
Nnadozie got the golden glove already.

All the best to Mission X. Let's bring this home in style.

Okoronkwo has 5 assists

naijaseeker:
Suprised Oshoala has scored more than Desire. But how about Stella Mbachu? Who was the 9 during Perpetua's time, after Akide?

Perpetua played both 9 and AM positions then

Safe to say Nkwocha’s record won’t be touched for a while 😁

naptu2:
It kind of reminded me of John Utaka's goal against Cameroon at the 2004 Nations Cup. Utaka and Osaze made runs when Kanu got the ball and the Cameroonians were confused about which run to track.

The South African goalkeeper was confused about whether she should track the flight of the ball (powered by Alozie's shot) or whether Ihezuo or Deborah would redirect it.

Alozie’s goal is also similar to Uche’s free kick goal vs Greece at the 2010 World Cup. The Greek keeper’s movement was obstructed by the Eagles players in front of him

For the first time, both the Super Falcons and D’Tigress will play on the same day 😁

do4luv14:
😁😁

BTW who truly score our winning goal yesterday, cos the way Deborah wheeled away celebrating the goal, replay show the ball don't even touch her sef

Na Alozie goal

daveP:
Ahh. That will be funny sha if this is the reason. I can mention a few they were around in 2022 but no longer here that aren't all that attractive but still got hype. 😅

Abi nau 😂

daveP:
Okobi raised a good observation with that tweet. Why are the Naija Journalists in particular barely hyping Halimatu Ayinde despite her b2b show up in the middle of the pack across the last 6years? Why? They hype others but when it's her i can barely see an article or some top top noise or focus on her.

For example, The way SA hypes Mothlalo since 2019.....

It may have something to do with her attractive she is perceived by the pundits. Let’s be honest, especially with regard to women’s sports, attractiveness plays an outsized role in how a player is hyped (or not)

I hope Wakama would thoroughly explain her surprise inclusion of Ogoke to us, because her inclusion makes no sense to me.

If she was brought on as a member of Wakama’s backroom staff, that would be entirely understandable, given Ogoke’s wealth of experience in the game. But bringing her along as a player, and denying another more active player a coveted spot, is frankly ridiculous.

Sunday as how? Thought it's Saturday

My mistake. Thanks for the correction 👍

D’Tigress v Rwanda dunks off, on Saturday, at 3:30pm Nigerian time

Saturday’s final kicks off at 9pm Nigerian time..

We cannot replicate that 2nd half performance in the final, otherwise it would be a different story.

Our ladies’ decision-making has to be a bit quicker, especially in the midfield. Too many times in the match, our ladies took 4 or more seconds ti decide whether to make a pass, or run with the ball.

It’s the on-field decision-making that separates the elite teams from the mid level ones.

Yes o

CornOak I'm sorry man

Na passion make me type

I was so angry WITH Ohale because she's our most experienced CB

No hard feelings boss

Okay. That chick is seriously in the running for Player Of The Tournament sha!

SIX goal contributions in a major tournament is not a joke!

Mehn! What a way to score your first goal for your country in STOPPAGE TIME OF A SEMIFINAL!!

Alozie take a bow 🤩🤩🙌🏽

Unlimited22:
Esther Okoronkwo don fraud another assist 😂

That’s her 5th assist I think 🤣
