All the governors dey open purse now cos e be like auction for them now. If e reach to help state owned NPFL or NWFL club now, we go dey hear

"The monies need processing"
"We are working on it"
"The committee involved will handle it and get back to us"
"When it is due, everyone will be paid. That i can tell you"
"Trust me, i know what im saying"
"They'll have to be patient as these things is not rocket or danfo"
"We have taken care of the logistics. Don't peddle false narratives"


And other blahhhs to the bala and the bluee that can paint a rainbow black blue.

I hope this doesn't bring one potential narrative in future where if they ask for what is due, they'll call them ungrateful sha.

I will believe the governors own more than the president, cos that 10 m each is within their budget,

But you see that #100,000, lemme not talk fes

I would agree that there’s been nothing of this scale in terms of the gifts and after party but Jonathan rewarded them with about 10 million naira (if I’m not mistaken) as at 2014. The Dangote’s, Elumelu’s and Adenuga’s also rewarded the set of 2014 handsomely.

I suspect that the reason why Aisha Falode has that impression is because of what happened in 2016/2017.

The Falcons won WAFCON in 2016, but there was no presidential reception for them, instead the players had to stage a street protest because they were being owed.

In contrast, D'Tigress won Afrobasket in 2017 and there was a presidential reception for them and they were given cash gifts.

Some people were not happy about that.

I'll appreciate it better had the president rallied high network individuals to make these donations to the girls. It's a lot more justifiable that way. BTW, none of the donations made by Dangote and Elumelu has been fulfilled the last time I checked.

I see. Maybe because this was the most popular Wafcon tournament in history in terms of social media and popularity occurring side by side with the Euros.
The Cameroon tournament in 2016 pulled one of the largest WAFCON crowds though for most games.

Esther OKORONKWO and Mitchell Alozie ??

What happened to them? They were conspicuously absent at the welcome party in abj?

The NWSL and the Canadian league are currently in season. While the NWSL took a break, the NSL didn't do they both had to return immediately. Was surprised seeing Oshoala there but it's possible she has permission from her club to stay a few more days and Alozie probably didn't.

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!

They're just going through the five stages of grief. Right now, they're likely in the anger or bargaining stage, trying to discredit our success by any means. I pray they won't stay long in that stage and find closure eventually.

I wonder if Morocco will eventually join the ranks of Ghana and South Africa to become another one of our sworn enemies when it comes to continental football.

QueenJazz, to your earlier point, this was when Esther and Alozie trained with comedian Shanks and musician Blaqbonez earlier this year in Lagos.

Tinubu should just collect the account numbers of the girls and send the money to them directly so that what is happening in the military will not repeat itself in our sport.

Just like you pointed out the soldier on the battlefield lacking battle equipment is not the fault of the government entirely but on those top-ranking officials. Who uses public funds allocated for equipment for personal gain? And you can tell from time to time that the more we encounter insecurity the more the government puts more resources into the military and still yet we can't find a solution.

But sincerely speaking, why were they denied that penalty??

I had a feeling that Nnadozie will catch it.

They seem solid enough.

I just love this Esther babe. Her aura is on another dimension.

Madugu can keep the Falcons job if he goes for a short course that can help our girls play tiki taka
We can’t really dominate teams & possession when we play decent sides
I think this will make our team a dynamic side
We’d have options to play physical, possession or defensive. Aerial balls alone won’t cut it in the World Cup
What do you guys think ?
Esther Okoronkwo, Sade Ijamilusi & Jennifer Echegini’s individual brilliance won us the African title but it isn’t enough to win teams like England, Sweden etc
Our team can’t string 10 to 20 offensive passes together without losing the ball
Although setpiece was our secret weapon in this African tourney

M7even:

Renowned/Award winning FIFA referee, Salima Mukansanga, was in charge of VAR last night in the WAFCON final match between host country, Morocco vs Nigeria.

Salima is not the type of referee to overlook just any act, much less in a more crucial game like the final match of the just concluded tournament.

About VAR cancelling the penalty, the center referee, no offence, did a marvelous job with the officiating and was fair with both sides, but what she had seen as handball, was in deed not handball.

Now let me state the handball rules in football.

“According to latest IFAB handball rules of FIFA, if the ball touches a player’s hand while the hand is vertical/parallel and behind the player’s trunk, it will not count as a penalty.

Another reason why that call was void by VAR, was because the Moroccan player was too close to the Nigerian player, hence it counted as a hand to ball instead of ball to hand.

Look at this photo clearly. It would only take en experienced referee to make a decision, and this was where Salima Mukansanga showed her prowess.

Thank you Salima for making the right call.
We’ve also known you to be fair and just. 🤝

Compare to Waldrum,
Is Madugu a better tactician ?

Now everyone wan host them. They should allow these ladies relazz and go back home abeg. Chai.

All these for the pleasure of these old men that belch with laughter and can't reason beyond their nose. 😂😂

Let's see if the 100k will be audio. But i doubt it is Audio sha.

I doubt it’s audio. Tinubu has always been one who spends big and struggles with frugality by his nature.

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

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.

M7even:

The distance was too close and the hands were by the side while she was on the air. If refeerees start giving penalties for every single hand ball, all teams would then have to do is practice how to target hands of defenders in the box when you know you can't score.

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

Randy Waldrum or Madugu ?
I don’t support getting a new coach with a new philosophy
Better to pick someone that already knows the team, strength & weaknesses, players and culture
It takes time to adapt or acclimatize
Who do you guys prefer?
Madugu or Waldrum
I think our indigenous coaches are good in the African competition
Especially after winning it 9 out of 10 times
Are they good in World championships ?
If NFF gives Madugu a contract he needs to improve so we can compete globally & not just participate
Can Nigeria play with the ball like South Africa, Spain does (possession football) ?
