Interesting, Justine usually plays her at RB and seems to prefer Isah over her as CB backup.

Sikiratu Isah 28yrs doesn’t even deserve to be there in the first place…. If Okeke come back, she should be gone!

She isn’t an imposing Center Back as Shukurat and Okeke are way ahead and plays in better leagues..

This 4 CB’s are good to go for the WAFCON
Osinachi Ohale
Blessing Demehin
Shukurat Oladipo
Chidinma Okeke

Fullbacks
Ashleigh Plumptre
Michelle Alozie
Nicole Payne, Imuran, anybody else and I guess this is where we really lack, like for like replacement especially on the left side as Oladipo is good enough to go as Right Back as well.

AndSunGorilla:
That's a huge accomplishment!!!!! One of the revelations of Coach Madugu!!

Which revelations?? Say something better.

Kibbs:
If you don’t want us to assume based on what we saw, then tell us the story sir

If it’s something i can say here in Public i would have said long ago…

isan:
Demehin , plumptre and oladapo are better .... she's also a welcome addition

Would say yes because these ones have been tested and trusted at the highest level… 💯

She’s a ball playing defender and her performance will certainly speak for her when the time comes..

Predator87:
Wendie Renard my foot. As soon as she won promotion the 1st time she ran back to the French 2nd division.

Sounding as if she went back to D2 on purpose, if you know the story you won’t sound this way…

gomol:
Hope she doesn't make a move back to the lower division?

Don’t worry she will play in D1 next season, there were some factors which I can’t state here that made her leave Nantes FC back to US Saint Malo after gaining promotion two years ago..

Played 21 league games and 2goals this season.

Don’t also forget that the France D2 is the equivalent of the Turkish League, Poland, Israel and Greece.

And playing in England D2 best those leagues by far..

yinkeys:
Some people say Italian league ain’t that tough like Mexico, Canada etc

Wrong the Italian league is better and more competitive than both, the Italian league is currently 5th behind England, Spain, France and Germany in Europe..

Maureen Umeughochukwu 24yrs, known as The Nigerian Wendie Renard, has secured promotion to the top division in France 🇫🇷 with US Saint Malo. Nigeria 🇳🇬 will now have a tall ball playing Center back playing in the French top flight.

Some of her attributes; Elite passing range, dominate aerial duels, high composure, vision, and excellent reading of the game..

🇳🇬 Shukurat Oladipo, ladies and gentlemen.

Best defender in the Italian Serie A Women.

Shukurat Oladipo named Serie A defender of the season and also made the XI of the season

She’s knocking on the SuperFalcons Starting Eleven Door…….! Ohale, Demehin and Alozie should watch out.

Thank Goodness she can play Center Back and Right Back.

🚨 Just In:

Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons, will take on Senegal Women’s National Team in a double-header international friendly scheduled for June 5 and 8.

Both matches will be played in Ikenne, Nigeria. 🇳🇬⚽

This girl have all it takes to play in the top5 league in the World…

Her only weakness is being small in size…

If she can improve on her physicality and pace then she can be tagged on same level as the likes of Olivia Smith, Alyssa Thompson, Linda Caicedo, Vicky Lopez and Aoba Fujino

The Reggae Girlz are headed to Panama 🇯🇲✈️🇵🇦

Jamaica will face Panama in two international friendlies on June 5 & 8 as preparation continues for the CONCACAF W Championship and the road to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Jamaica Football Federation has reaffirmed its commitment to FIFA compliance and transparency following recent reports surrounding the proposed fixture involving the Reggae Girlz and Nigeria.

TheSuperNerd:
Ebere Orji was such a baller then in the U20s even at the world stage. A real shocker she did not make her mark as a Super Falcon.

The Generational attacking talent will break through. We always produce one for every era. As Oshoala's era ends, another will emerge. But in Big Janet Akekoromowei, Chidi Harmony, Flourisg Sabastine and co, we still have bonafide exciting young talents coming through. So it is just a matter of time.

A matter of time for sure but again I only have three I could pick on right now as the possible next big star for the SuperFalcons and Africa at large even though there are other talented players, but we never can tell..

1• Chioma Okafor 23yrs (North Carolina Courage, 🇺🇸)

2• Janet Akekoromowei 18yrs (Bayelsa Queens, 🇳🇬)

3• Florence Onyinyechukwu Okoli 22yrs (Sandvikens IF, 🇸🇪)

Let’s see how it goes before they get to 25 especially those other two in their early 20’s already.

BascoVanVeli:
Rasheedat Ajibade? Chiwendu Ihezou?

When Esther Sunday and Ebere Orji burst in from the 2008-2012 era alongside Oparanozie, Ordega and co before Oshoala we thought they were the new replacement for Perpetual, Uwak but no they didn’t lived up to expectations but that doesn’t take away their qualities as players..

BascoVanVeli:
Rasheedat Ajibade? Chiwendu Ihezou?

lol 😂
This two are good but not that level, this two are more like the Desire Oparanozie and Franny Ordega of then.. just as Stella Mbachu, Ifeanyi Chiejene, Vera Okolo, Rita Nwadike were there during their era..

You see
Mercy Akide Udoh
Perpetua Nkwocha
Cynthia Uwak
Asisat Oshoala

Are the generational talents, i believe we would have one soon, but for now we just have quality players not that Exceptional generation talent which come once in a Blue moon..

BascoVanVeli:
She is not the best U20 player in Africa sha.

Name a better player than her?

Schemerkhiz:
Yeah… And Benin currently have the best U20 player in Africa, I can’t remember the girls name right now but she’s built like the Chawinga Sisters, Banda and co

Romaine Gandonou 🇧🇯 is said to have flown to Paris to undergo a trial at PSG 🇫🇷. The top scorer in the African qualifiers for the Women's U20 World Cup with 14 goals, the young Beninese striker could soon reach a new milestone in her career.

PDPGuy:
I believe this is their first ever qualification to a FIFA women’s tournament

Yeah… And Benin currently have the best U20 player in Africa, I can’t remember the girls name right now but she’s built like the Chawinga Sisters, Banda and co

Predator87:
Any news on Ashley Plumptre? When will she be back to full fitness?

She will… Chinwendu Ihezuo is the one likely to miss out 💯

The rest have 90-100% chance of going to the WAFCON

Predator87:
Our key players are getting injured weeks before WAFCON and the lack of preparation is making things worse because we cannot identify potential replacements in case of withdrawals. I will not be surprised if we fail to qualify for the womens World Cup. Justin Madugu is a clown for making excuses for the NFF instead of calling them out for their lack of preparations.

He dare not call them out… He’s only there because they can use him as they pleases so why should he call them out?

Alozie doesn’t stay out injured for long though, but again Shukurat OLADIPO can step in as Right back if it comes to worse and with Nicole Payne return she can serve as Back up.

We have capable players but how to gel them together is the main thing.

Chinwendu Ihezuo
Esther Okoronkwo
Michelle Alozie

Are out for now with Ihezuo looking to miss out for sure except a Miracle.., Thank Goodness Uchenna Kanu is back to form.

Ashleigh moving to Saudi was a worse move. The NWFL has had a number of players join good league's in Europe.

If she was earning close to 1M here in Nigeria I don’t think she will accept an offer from India..

I once got a contract for a Ghanaian girl to move to Poland 🇵🇱 D1 with a good pay of $2500 monthly, Wining bonuses, accommodation, feeding, insurance and to extend for another one year or two if she performs well.. but she turned it down for Same India that offers $800 -- $1500 monthly.

I don’t even accept this India of a league for players.

Some of this players are lazy especially those Ghanaian girls you hardly see them play in the big leagues..

If you want proof I can still post it here for you all to see

isan:
You can't use one transfer to judge the entire league...many players have left the NWFL and join a decent side in Europe and you didn't come here to praise the league.....the league none of us has ever invested our money ....it takes a lot of money to run a decent league

This girl have the talent, to play in Europe at least the Scandinavian countries, Turkish league which are very good with players development and would earn better amount than that India 🇮🇳

BascoVanVeli:
Ashleigh moving to Saudi was a worse move. The NWFL has had a number of players join good league's in Europe.

If she goes to Saudi i will understand it’s because of the Money…

But India is a NO
How much do they pay??

Highest you get $1500 monthly and that’s if her agent is strong with the deal..

If she goes to Saudi D2 she’s guaranteed at least $3500. Imagine playing in D1 there..

Am after her development as well and India isn’t part of it.

Imagine Emem Essien leaving Edo Queens to play in the Indian Women's League. That alone should be a serious wakeup call that there is a major problem with the Nwfl.

Interesting to listen to
