daveP:
Make all these little flames no turn big o abeg. Okobi no just get sense. Anyway, best of luck to all SF players and fans on this thread. Happy New Month.

isan:
There will be no problem as far as Okobi never get invited to super falcons

isan:
Nah okobi get this sub

Deltamani:
She’s planning on returning to playing very soon sha…
Which I think she will also try and get back into the SuperFalcons but again, is going to be tough… We have got Toni Payne, Onyi Echegini and Esther Onyenezide in that position already… Okobi coming back will now drop who? Cause at a point i believe only Two can come in.. Payne & Echegini being the regulars plus Onyenezide trying to break in…!

AndSunGorilla:
National team places has to be on merit not past performances for any player. If at any point, Nkobi proves to be better than Payne, Echegini and Onyenezidane, then she deserves a call up. Let every lady fight and earn their spot.

Deltamani:
I’m not saying she won’t get a call up ooo, if she get back to that 2014–2019 performance level (The peak of her Career) and even above she should get a call up… Again I don’t see the likes of Payne, Echegini & Onyenezide slowing down either… They would all want to keep their spots too….

Let the best and most inform get the call up…! But again she needs time to play her way back to the top level..

BascoVanVeli:
When did Okobi say they were not Nigerian? I'm I missing something

AndSunGorilla:
Agreed. Just saying she shouldn't be written off and we should not put the nail to the coffin before she "kpai".

On my own, I really want to see a Mother playing actively in the SuperFalcons as well.. So others can see and learn from as well that you can still play at the highest level as a soccer Mom..

isan:
She said the u17 can become super falcons in the future and the NFF should concentrate more on home based players , many people attacked her on the post on Instagram and she had off her comment section

Few days later Toni Payne had interview talking about how Nigeria is special to her she's got a tattoo of Nigeria map on her

Alozie dropped that comment under Toni Payne post

BascoVanVeli:
Na wah oh

naptu2:
Ngozi Sonia Okobi-Oke

@thenffofficial this group is technically sound it shows they’ve a good coach who understands his job, they can be the next @nigeriasuperfalcons in the nearest future as they keep graduating cos this was how I and many others start our national team journey.

Concentrate more on the #homebased players a lot of talents are right there in @thenwfl

Poll

*Home based or

*More foreign born

BascoVanVeli:
Oga, Gift Monday has a goal and assist

Deltamani:
Nigeria U17 2022 set have really produced a lot of talents and many of them are currently playing college football in the US 🇺🇸

Defender Sunday Blessing and Captain Alvine Dah Zossu are currently with North Idaho College Women's
Soccer in the US..

This is amazing I must say..

Deltamani:
So?
Playing poorly for the SuperFalcons doesn’t mean she shouldn’t do well for her Clubside….

She isn’t the first or the last either..!

BascoVanVeli:
So u are still telling yourself she was poor against Algeria? She made a couple mistakes and u rushed to post, next thing we knew she had a goal and assist. Then she follows that up with another goal and assist for club. Better get used to Gift Monday cos she is going to be big for us.

BascoVanVeli:
Okay the poll was totally unnecessary. That's where the issue comes from

AkinDS:
I think it was more than the poll itself - there were subtle jabs at the FB players (prompting the retorts from Tonie Payne and Alozie), which is not surprising in itself, considering she has always put her foot in her mouth whenever she is on social media (poor comments about Waldrum after a WAFCON, crass comments about her being left out of the WC, etc.). This is certainly not outside of the scope of what she would say.

The issue with here is she is still living in the past and is fiercely refusing to move into the future. She cannot seem to wrap her head around the fact that we live in a world where Nigerians in diaspora are also Nigerians. She has always been very myopic in her thought process. Unfortunately, people like her always become a relic of the past and end up being left behind.
