Sorry, Schermekiz, but Kanu has never been a better player. I'm guessing you judge based on the popularity she garnered while playing college football in the US.

Not because of any popularity, She has been a good player till date, a Complete Striker who average at least 1 goal in two games..

*ONE OF THE RISING FEMALE FOOTBALL PLAYERS FLOURISH CHIOMA SABASTINE NOT PLAYING IN THE NWFL SUPER SIX, DUE TO UNDERLYING BIAS PRACTICES*

It is no more news that rising U-20 football prodigy, Flourish Sebastine, is being taunted by the management of Edo Queens overseen by Mrs Sabina Chikere and sacked coach Wemimo Mathew– who tried to lure the player from her guardian (Membis Vitus) and her grassroot academy.

In the past there was no existing contract between the player and Edo Queens after that, the player reiterated her desire to play for Bayelsa Queens

The management of Edo Queens have enjoyed top class government funding and sponsorship and have no excuse not to recruit the best players in the country but the selfish and manipulative interest of Mrs Sabina Chikere and sacked coach Wemimo Mathew have chased many young talented players out of the club, a potent reason that has caused their recent decline in performance and one of the strong reasons why Flourish Chioma Sebastine decided not to play for them.

Contractually, there is no binding agreement between the player and Edo Queens and sadly, Edo Queens have blocked or delayed Bayelsa Queens' process to allow the world-class player in the making to make her appearance in the Super Six( with Bayelsa Queens) that would lead to the selection of clubs to represent the country on the continent in the women club continental competition

Significantly, this act of manipulation and selfish interest is hampering the growth of women's football on traits of transparency in the system and if this is not checked most young female players would be led into silent caves of football slavery

The Nigerian Women's Football League's governing body under the guidance of Aisha Falode should call Edo Queens' management to order or this act would be considered a conspiracy between the two bodies.

Do you have any idea how this is likely to play out now that she's no longer with Edo queens?

Not at all..

But hopefully this will definitely ease up the issue on ground.!

JohnBullMySon:
Okay.

By Saint Étienne’s FC Coach, Jérôme Bonnet



We saw what she did in Dijon. She showed us what she is capable of with two goals, only she could do it, by her speed and her composure. She’s very calm in front of the goal and this is good.”

I'm aware it's being alleged that she's primarily responsible for this. My issue though is with the NWFL. They should have stepped in especially when it's been established that she has no contract with Edo queens. She should have been allowed to play for Bayelsa while they litigate in court.

They all knows the truth, right now Sabastine is a big Market in the Nigeria women football as a whole, they're all after the benefits she would bring not after the girl success.!

If Wemimo was to be the U20 head Coach, I bet you she wouldn't have been playing Sabastine untill she agrees terms with her..

The Battle on ground now is between 1st Assistant Coach (Aduku) and the 2nd Assistant Coach (Wemimo)of the Falconet!.

You should know how poor the Nigerian System is, and the Wemimo of a woman have a very strong Back up... Nothing da shake her oo


Look here she has been in the Various National Team set up over 12 years ago. Even if the Coaching get sacked, they will move Wemimo to the next one.. She has been rotated in the whole National Teams till date..

While good ones like Florence Omagbemi, Mercy Akide, Ayisat and Co won't be given such opportunity..!

lovewins:
Away from the list, isn't it concerning that Flourish who is arguably one of the best u20 player we have isn't allowed to feature in the Super6 because of a tussel amongst clubsides? It's even a lot more perplexing when you consider she doesn't have a signed contract with Edo queen's and the league organizers seem to have taken a passive disposition to the entire thing. How is this in her best interest?

Let me just go straight to the point here, thee Person behind this problem is Coach Wemimo, Olanrewaju Mathew. She tends to influence so many things in the various National Team she act as Assistant in..

She just got Sacked by Edo Queens Management Yesterday here for not wining any game in the on going Super 6 tournament..

It's a Sad one that they're trying to ruin the girl's career because of their own personal benefits...

lovewins:
I think it's also worth noting that only 28 of them will be on Morocco. So 4 persons on the list won't make the team; I'm guessing the new goalkeeper and three other players.

Yeah, to me the Pool of 28 players sef in even too much for the AWCON, 23 should have been better and more competitive!!
3 goalies
7 Defenders
6 Midfielders
7 Forwards.

isan:
There was never a time KANU was better than Ajibade and this season Ajibade has widen the gap

Maybe we're talking about different Ajibade and Kanu here...

You should be saying Ajibade has improved drastically or should I say the most improved Superfalcons player from 2018 till date.. Chiamaka Nnadozie is another

isan:
Quality wise is the polish league more competitive than Nigerian league ?

Which quality are you talking about, Facilities, the pay or the Players??

Let's see how it goes, Rita Akarekor 21yrs is also a good goalkeeper have been in the National Team set up for some time to and fro from U20 to the Superfalcons..

Was at the 2016 AWCON in Cameroon and 2018 U20 FIFA Women's World Cup as the 3rd choice goalie respectively..
She had an excellent game yesterday during the Super6 game.

isan:
Oparanozie and maclean are both same type of player no need inviting both of them and oparanozie is past it anyway and maclean plays in farmers league not good enough ihezuo has never done anything in the super falcons

Anyway most of these players we're talking about are going to be coming from the Bench and they might even get up to 30 minutes per game sef, except injury cases upfront

Asisat Oshoala, Ifeoma Onumonu, Uchenna Kanu, Fransisca Ordega will definitely battle for the 3 starting spot upfront, Tony Payne is also there upfront if the need arises..

Oparanozie, Ikechukwu, Maclean's, Ihezuo, Imo should be talking about making the List and coming from the bench.. Say Esther Okoronkwo da before men non of them for probably see game time..

Between Asisat Oshoala and Ifeoma Onumonu one of them should be playing 90minutes of not the two of them..

isan:
Oparanozie and maclean are both same type of player no need inviting both of them and oparanozie is past it anyway and maclean plays in farmers league not good enough ihezuo has never done anything in the super falcons

Which Farmers League??
So the Polish Women League is a farmers league while the Belarusian, ISRAEL league are far better ahbi? Fear God ooo

Please do you even make time to watch their games or you're just speaking from your personal insight on the Women's game..
I know too well that have been sharing different league games here occasionally but it seems you guys aren't that interested !!

isan:
Lol macleans is your favorite we know it sometimes you are bias , that's how you said KANU is better than Ajibade last few seasons but its OK

Maclean's Chinonyerem isn't my Favorite please, I make post basically about all of them, there's no favouritism from me here. I even go as far as bringing in news concerning Women Football Worldwide!

isan:
Lol macleans is your favorite we know it sometimes you are bias , that's how you said KANU is better than Ajibade last few seasons but its OK

Yes I said so... Kanu was far better than Rasheedat Ajibade a few Seasons ago. You can't compare both then. Is it because Ajibade is now playing up to the billing..

Okay tell me between the two of them who was a far better player from 2018 to 2020..
Ajibade has drastically improved and both ain't playing same position for the Superfalcons, one is a forward while the other is a Midfielder (Central/Attacking Midfield) for the Superfalcon.

Isan calm down, anyway thank God you said last few seasons to show that I'm not even lying and as it stands both of them are doing well...

JohnBullMySon:
She was born in Nigeria?

Yes, but she grew up overthere!

Bigzigg:
Can't remember any hints you gave about George's situation, though. Chikwelu's matter gives me headache, really, If I had my way I'd get her eliminated, like... She's a waste. I would have preferred Okobi- who's been out of form for a long while, cos she's younger.

I don't think I can ever trust that Anam Imo, not after that abysmal performance she put up at the last AWCON. Hope Macleans lives up to the billing, though she'd be a bench material. Anyway, I'm anticipating a very strong bench- only if the midfield can be set up in the best possible way.

I did gave a hint, You didn't decode it then...

I will certainly talk about it again when the need arises but this time around I will be direct..

Ijeoma Esther Okoronkwo

The Photo she posted saying the end of the season for her over a month ago..!!

Among all the listed Strikers in the AWCON Provisional List, non of them is as technically gifted as she is.. She's currently the most Skillful striker we have but injury just spoilt everything..

Randy Waldrum will definitely miss her..!

AkinDS:
This is the one that is a head scratcher for me. Was not impressed with her performance in the 2018 WWC. Both she and Ajibade were the newbies brought on by Dennerby at the time - Ajibade went on to become a superstar and Anam, well,...

She just struck me as too sluggish upfront and really didn't utilize her frame to gain a physical advantage against defenders. I hope she has really improve, cause there are several players who are miles ahead of her - Esther being one of them.

Ihezuo - the less said the better.

I'm still trying to get over Esther Okoronkwo injury, I wish it never happened. After her excellent performance during the qualifying game against CIV, Scoring 1 and giving 1 assist, a very tactical and technically decent Player..

Our Bench would have been so solid at the AWCON because it would have been an almost like to Substitution..

In Pursuit of excellence : The crave for League Crown, continental Slot sweeps off Wemimo Matthew from Edo Queens

The management of Edo Queens Football Club has announced the sack of handler, Wemimo Olanrewaju Mathew following the abysmal performance of the team so far in the ongoing Nigeria Women Football League super Six, in Benin.

Edo Queens were wasteful in their first match against neighbouring Delta Queens and were poor in their second match against Nasarawa Amazons who defeated the wasteful side by a lone goal which has dented their ambition of winning the title.

Addressing the press immediately after the game, Chairman Edo State Sports Commission, Yusuf Alli pronounced the sack.

“From my understanding and my findings, I think the coach is not capable, at this point, we have to relief her of her appointment”.

“We have to sack the coach and let the assistant take over from now on, when the tournament is over we will know what to do with Edo Queens, but for now, the coach is sacked”.

The assistant coach, John Niyi will take over the remaining games of the team in the tournament.

isan:
Go and watch Nigeria vs Mali in Aisha cup then you will see monday has a lot of potentials right now i will say she will be a better option than oparanozie , ihezuo and macleans

A Big no for me,

Oparanozie and Maclean's are 100% Similar Players just that Oparanozie is more experience while right now Maclean's is younger, quicker and more inform.


Monday Gift can't bench Ihezuo from the Left. Or is it Uchenna Kanu you want her to bench?
Even with Ordega not really at her usual level right now, Monday doesn't come close.!

isan:
Monday is definitely better than that lady from poland

Monday Gift is over hyped.. she hasn't lived up to the billing yet.

Look here, Monday Gift and Maclean's Chinonyerem are different kind of player.

One is a forward who gives a lot of options upfront like Playing every position upfront.. which is the only advantage Monday Gift has over Maclean's.. While Maclean's is a natural 9 just like Desire Oparanozie, Abby Wambach, Birgit Prinz and Ada Hegerberg whose major role is Scoring the goals, running into space and pressing the opposition defense couple with her Physical attributes with the Midfielders and other forwards doing the most jobs of creating for her..

Maclean's is a better finisher than Monday anyday anytime


On Paper right now Asisat Oshoala and Ifeoma Onumonu are already starters... Uchenna Kanu are Fransisca Ordega are the best possible option for the last 3rd starting spot..

Bench, Vivian Ikechukwu is ahead of her already, Chinwendu Ihezuo is more experience than her and Plays from the Left wing which Monday Gift like playing too. Don't think she will be able to beat Ihezuo to that Left spot.

Anam Imo is currently inform and Play every position upfront but currently playing no.9 for Pitea IF, Sweden

isan:
Monday is definitely better than that lady from poland

I know say you da find my trouble, anyway Sha nor go overcome this trouble, I must talk.... Hahahaha

•• Defending champions Rivers Angels failed to win in their second game at the #NWFLPremiershipSuper6 following a goalless draw with Delta Queens at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.

Action Pictures from the NWPL Super 6

Let's me be sharing with you guys....

By the way can Monday Gift bench any of the invited forward playing same position with her?

It's a pity that we won't get to watch Esther Okoronkwo play at the AWCON...

I'm still trying to know how long she's going to be out because she has been out for over 4 weeks now..
