See what you wrote.. It's like saying Osimhen or Ndidi are the biggest voices in the super eagles because according to the evidence, they are the biggest international stars in the team...

FYI, players like Okobi, Ohale, Ayinde and Oluehi have been part of the national team set up for longer than Oshoala.. It's laughable to say their voice isn't loud enough..

Again, was it not on this same thread that some of us were of the opinion that Oshoala was off form for the super falcons.. I mean, for the past few years how effective has she been?

Don't mind him. I asked if where her voice hold water and he's been deflecting ever since.

There are players who are more influential in the team than Asisat. (Emphasis on in the team).

With the Current Superfalcons Squad going with the year they join the team this is the top 10 senior players

Players who have played Under Randy Waldrum

•Onome Ebi 2002/2003
•Faith Ikidi Michael 2003
•Rita Chikwelu 2006
•Tochukwu Oluehi 2006
•Osinachi Ohale 2010
•Desire Oparanozie 2010
•Fransisca Ordega 2010
•Ngozi Okobi 2010
•Asisat Oshoala 2013
•Halimatu Ayinde.... 2014

Okobi has been in the national team setup for longer though...
She was among the first set of u-17 team we paraded in 2008 alongside Oparanozie..
In fact, some players like Okobi, Ordega,Ayinde and Oparanozie played for the u-17 and u-20 multiple times before transitioning to the super falcons...

Baba why are you talking like this now? Lol

He doesn't need proof. Amaju himself said this to the press.

And really he doesn't need to say it. A contractual agreement is binding, this isn't government o but private organisations. If they aren't living up to their contractual obligations, Amaju would have told us.

And do you have proof to the contrary?

The evidence is what we see in the news.. And Pinnick himself admitted it to the press...
Wasn't it recently that it was reported in the press that the NFF signed a 500m deal with MTN?

The NFF is more or less different from the normal public agencies in this country... Corruption thrives there..
Pinnick still has a case with the ICPC in case you forgot...

It's all politics Nigeria media follows the highest bidder , pinnick is allegedly PDP while sunday is APC there's no way they will allow pinnick to be successful

How has APC and PDP for anything to do with this. Hasn't Amaju served most of his term under an APC government? And like I opined earlier, those who are familiar with the history of the NFA/NFF will tell you the last 8 years has been the most peaceful time in the glass House in a long time.

He hasn't had to deal with numerous court battles like his predecessors have. His opponent Giwa I remember was implored to let go of his court case and allow peace reign. Biko look for another excuse, the APC PDP narrative won't fly at all

Are we talking about being effective on the pitch right now ? All the names mentioned below doesn't have a voice combined together compared to Oshoala , when last did you see any of them make a headline ?

I know...But the age grade teams of the women team is closely interwined to the senior team.. That's why a lot of players from the falconets get into the falcons easier...So to some extent, they are familiar with the system.. For instance, Ordega, Ayinde and Okobi have been teammates for longer even before they joined the falcons...So there's a strong bond..

Oshoala is no longer the team captain..So how exactly is her voice louder than the rest of her teammates combined?
So if Oshoala says something now and the rest of the team oppose it,only her opinion will stand?

And most persons are sincerely not asking her to. Anyone who has followed Onome's career will want her to feature in the 2023 world cup as her last stint with the team. The argument for the most part has been for her to start from the bench.

FIFA won't throw Nigeria out over a court case. They will only do that if the government through her ministry interfere. A court is where litigations are handled and anyone is free to go to court. The NFF is currently in court and said court barred the Congress from holding (we are supposed to have a Congress latest September). FIFA won't ban you for that, courts base interpretation on what the NFF constitution says.

Yeah she would definitely be on the plane to Australia/New Zealand but Starting game's is where i doubt but featuring for minutes and more Cap is certain...!

In a game that requires 3CBs the Coach would go for Onome in btw Ohale and Plumptre
The Coaches should be looking out for Osinachi Ohale and Ashleigh Plumptre at CB... With Onyinyechi Zogg, Akudo Ogbonna, Oluwatosin Blessing Demehin battling for the other CB spot...

Oluwatosin Blessing Demehin performance at the U20 FIFA Women's World Cup in August will definitely decide how ready she's to lay claim to a Spot in the Superfalcon CB...

The battle for that one spot is between Demehin, Akudo Ogbonna, Onyinyechi Zogg


As long as Onome Ebi, Osinachi Ohale and Ashleigh Plumptre are the top3 CBs..

Nigeria defender Ashleigh Plumptre has stated Super Falcons' 2023 Women’s World Cup qualification is yet to sink in for her.

After reaching the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) semi-final – when they were eliminated by Morocco on post-match penalties – the Super Falcons grabbed a ticket to participate in the global tournament.

This is an excerpt from an article recently released by Aljazerra.

Cynthia Uwak claims she was iced out if the team cause of the sexual preference. She also claims Ucharia Uche is a closeted lesbian. Interesting read.

A scapegoat
In 2004, aged just 18, Cynthia Uwak made her international debut for Nigeria; her performance instantly announced her as a star to watch out for.

The attacker was a key part of the Super Falcons’ runs at the 2004 and 2006 WAFCON and was adjudged Africa’s best player by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in 2006 and 2007. There was an unmistakable sense among pundits, industry insiders and fans that this was a player of truly historic.

However, as she turns 36 this July, she has gone close to 12 years since her last appearance for Nigeria.

After missing the 2010 WAFCON due to an injury, she was surprisingly dropped from the Super Falcons’ squad to the World Cup the following year. Aside from unsuccessful calls by members of the public to recall her to the national team in 2016, Uwak has simply vanished from the public eye.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, she said her exclusion from the national team was on account of her sexual preference. “Some of the best players were left out of the squad because they were practising lesbians,” she confirmed.“It was a long time ago, but it’s something I still remember because that was why I stopped playing in the national team
