Ordega not listed. Lols. Alongside usual Unachukwu and Usani.

She's injured

M7even:
Desire Oparanozie will go a long way in football journalism....this is not "sexy penetrating passes" kind of thing. I hear she has been snatched up by BBC? If so they see the potentials too..

Hmmm. Maybe I'm listening to a different Oparanozie. Her commentary has been very low-level and incoherent compared to what is obtainable from the average commentator. Facts. No hate.

I hope Madugu repeats the same formation and lineup he used against Zambia but Ijamilusi should be dropped for Babajide who should play as an inverted RW while Ihezuo plays on the left.

I wonder why Madugu doesn't want to invert his wingers.

lovewins:
You guys have started with the same scary attitude displayed before the Zambia game. I haven't watched the South African team prior to their quarter final game, but the team I saw against Senegal will be very easy to defeat.

Again, Magudu doesn't need to do too much, just get the lineup right.

I swear, the Senegal game was a real confidence booster for Nigeria😁😁

South Africa isn't all that

Imagine the trouble involved in dragging yourself to the NEPA office to pay your electricity bill every month. Long queues, endless waiting, and pure frustration. A few months back, I procrastinated on paying my NEPA bill, headed to work, and came home to a dark house. Yup, my power was cut off! I was fuming.

But now? I’ve kissed that stress goodbye and switched to paying my bills online, right from my couch. It’s a total game-changer! There are lots of platforms that make settling NEPA bills or recharging prepaid meters a breeze. Here are five I’ve found. I'll start with the one I've used myself.

Best Platforms to Pay Your NEPA Bill Online in Nigeria in 2025

Cardtonic

I’ve used Cardtonic a few times to pay my NEPA bills, and it’s worked fine for me. Most people know Cardtonic for trading gift cards, but it also lets you pay utility bills like electricity. The platform is simple to use, and I feel okay about its security after some bad experiences with other online payments.
One night, my power went out, and I used Cardtonic to buy units.

It took just a few minutes to get my electricity back, which was a relief. It works with most DisCos in Nigeria for both prepaid meter top-ups and postpaid bills.
Cardtonic has different payment options, like using gift cards, bank transfers, or their digital wallet, which is handy if your account is low.

The fees aren’t too high, and their customer support has been alright when I reached out with a question. They offer cashback benefits too. Sometimes the app feels a bit slow, but it gets the job done. It’s just one option I’ve tried that’s been okay so far.

PowerPlug

PowerPlug is another good platform. It’s an app that supports all DisCos in Nigeria, so you can use it for prepaid top-ups or postpaid payments. The app is easy to figure out, and you get your token quickly after paying.
I haven’t used it much, but I’ve heard from friends that it’s reliable. It’s a solid pick if you want something simple.

BuyPower

BuyPower is well-liked for good reason. I find their unit calculator useful. It lets you enter your meter number, pay, and get a token right away. They even let you borrow electricity units if you’re stuck, which is neat.

It works for both prepaid and postpaid accounts, and the platform is straightforward. Some people mention that the borrowing feature can have high fees, so you might want to double-check that.

Quickteller

Quickteller is a trusted name for paying NEPA bills. You can use their website or app, and it works with most DisCos. Whether you’re on a prepaid or postpaid account, you get your token instantly after payment.

I like that Quickteller also handles things like airtime purchases, making it a handy all-in-one option. It’s been around for years, so it’s a safe choice for most.

VTpass

VTpass is worth a look too. Their app or website lets you pay electricity bills or recharge prepaid meters for different DisCos. It’s dependable for quick payments, and they offer extras like data top-ups. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve seen positive reviews online, and it seems like a good option for fast transactions.

Conclusion

You don’t have to deal with long lines or power cuts from unpaid bills anymore. Platforms like Cardtonic, PowerPlug, BuyPower, Quickteller, and VTpass make paying your NEPA bill or recharging your meter super easy from home. I’ve found Cardtonic okay for its convenience and quick transactions, but the others are worth checking out too.

If you’re still stuck in the old days of visiting the NEPA office, it’s time to switch to online payments. Try one of these platforms and find what works for you. Have you gone digital with your bill payments? What platform do you use? Please do share your thoughts!

I’ve been burned before trying to buy data online, and trust me, it’s not a good feeling. The internet is flooded with ads shouting, “Cheap data here!” on Facebook, X, WhatsApp, you name it.

But let’s be real: a lot of these are traps. One time, I saw a post on X screaming about cheap data. I was excited and messaged the seller, after a short chat, I sent them 10,000 Naira. Guess what? They blocked me, and I got nothing. No data, no refund, just frustration. That experience made me super cautious about where I buy data online. Since then, I’ve learned to stick to trusted platforms and do my homework.

I am not alone in this. Mobile data in Nigeria can feel so expensive these days. For many of us, a monthly data plan runs out in just a few days, pushing us to search for cheaper options.

With more young people using smartphones and data prices going up, it’s no wonder Nigerians, especially youths, are always looking for affordable and reliable ways to buy data.

However, the big question is: can you buy cheap data online in Nigeria without getting scammed?

Where Can You Buy Cheap Data Online in Nigeria?

Luckily for me, shortly after my bad experience, a friend told me about a platform called Cardtonic, which sells data bundles. I’ve used it a few times, and it’s worked well for me. Cardtonic has decent data prices, and the website is easy to use.

They also have a secure system, so I don’t worry about my payment details. Their customer support is okay too. They’ve helped me when I had questions, and they didn’t take too long to respond.

They even offer cashback sometimes, which is nice, but it’s not a huge deal. It’s just one option that’s been reliable for me so far.
Network providers like MTN, Airtel, and Glo let you buy data directly, which is safe but not always the cheapest. Apps like Jumia or Konga also have data deals, but you’ve got to check the seller’s reputation first.

4 Things to Look Out for When Buying Data Online

To avoid getting scammed, keep these tips in mind:

1. Check Reviews: Look for vendors with real user feedback. Scammed customers often spill the tea on social media, so search for “Is [vendor name] a scam?” to see what’s up.

2. Stick to Secure Websites: Only buy from sites with “HTTPS” in the address and trusted payment options. If it looks shady, it probably is.

3. Be Wary of Social Media Sellers: Scammers love social media. Avoid deals from random accounts without a verifiable business profile.

4. Choose Transparent Sellers: Legit vendors are upfront about prices, data plans, and refund policies. If they’re dodging details, run.

Final Thoughts

Yes, you can buy cheap data online in Nigeria without getting scammed, but you need to be smart about it. Do a little research, avoid sketchy social media sellers, and stick to platforms with good reputations.

My bad experience with a scammer taught me to be cautious, and using a platform like Cardtonic has worked for me. There are other options out there too, so find what fits your needs.

When you take simple steps to check sellers, you can save money and get data without stress. Stay careful, and you’ll find reliable ways to stay connected.

It's also noteworthy that Madugu isn't playing defensive today, contrary to how he executed the group stages. The selection shows he's going on the offensive. We are either going to see a masterclass or a disasterclass.

Not sure what's sponsoring this boldness but I'm seated.

Exactly. Madugu is trying to fix the one thing his team has been criticized for: goalscoring. One thing is sure: goals go dey this game.

GeneralDae:
I would have preferred Ayinde Ucheibe combo with Ijamilusi on the bench.

Are you okay? You want to play two DMs so you will later complain that we're not scoring goals.

The lineup is perfect. It's a 4-3-3. The Zambians will most likely defend most of the time so we need good attacking-minded midfielders to open them up with splitting passes and slalom runs.

Echegini fits this role perfectly. Ajibade is in the CM too. One DM is enough. Ajibade can help win balls too in the midfield if necessary.

I hope Ijamilusi proves her mettle though I would have preferred Babajide playing as an inverted left winger.

I haven't seen much

BankyGee:
Again, them say Randy Waldrum no good 😂


Where I respect Randy was in that RO16 match against England wey England coach dey pace upandan, the man just still sat down chilled.

Na who no know wetin he dey do, or who no get plan na him dey shout like Madugu for touchline.

I remember the commentator in that game saying "If the Nigerian coach was any more comfortable, he'd be horizontal"

🤣🤣🤣

Team list, only Demehin, Nnadozie and Ajibade keep their place. Fresh legs!
https://x.com/osasuo/status/1944453319684174199

Okoronkwo and Ijamulusi bench.
Oluehi, Unachukwu and Okafor (allegedly injured) yet to feature in the tournament

------Onumonu Ihezuo
Ordega ----Echegini---- Ajibade
----------Ucheibe
Usani Demehin Isah Oladipo
---------Nnadozie

This looks like a pretty good attacking setup. He should have used this to start against Botswana.

Why risk Nnadozie in this dead rubber game though? What if she gets injured? Are the other goalkeepers there for fancy?

CAF really needs to do something about these female men playing in women's competitions

Even if nobody else has a right to speak on Osimhen, TheSuperNerd certainly does. Man has always been Osimhen's biggest supporter from when he was struggling at Wolfsburg.

I think it's really pathetic if Osimhen will prioritize money over his career. Bruno Fernandes just turned down a whole bunch of money from Saudi to stay with a Man Utd that won't even be in Europe. Mbappe turned down unbelievable sums from same Saudi and took a huge pay cut instead to join Madrid.

Black man must be black man.

DeloitteNG:
Which big European clubs are interested?

Na Osimhen salary expectations dey pursue them.

TheSuperNerd:
Nobody's mind is coming down. We are just resigning ourselves to the most unwise footballing decision of this era (if it is eventually a Here we go!!) So we will settle for the NT.

But mind you, when Osimhen no longer counts as Top rated, do not dare complain.

You know things have really fallen apart when you see TheSuperNerd of all people being pessimistic about Osimhen.

Chai, Osimhen abeg pity for us your fans😁😁.

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcos it wont affect his Super Eagles performances. Osimhen will always be Osimhen... but as long as he leaves Europe for Saudi in his prime then he can kiss goodbye to his Iron-clad world class legacy. It wont stand in the land of Bin Salman.

All Osimhen will have is the NT and I will always support our Number 1 striker no matter what. Even when I disagree with a decision.

Financially, yes... 45M euros (40M + 5M bonuses per year) is insane to turn down.

Footballically, yes... turning your back on a chance to cement your world class legacy/name and take your game to the stratospheric level on the highest stages of football is also insane.

In the end, it is his life. My only concern here is the Super Eagles. But I must bear my mind as one who is an advocate for ambition and legacy over money alone. I would be betraying my mindset and principle if I say picking insane money over the chance to truly attain world class greatness (which also comes with money) is the right step in your prime years.

But IT IS WHAT IT IS. I dont agree if this happens but Osimhen will always have my support. EOD.

Honestly, I can't understand why Osimhen is stubbornly refusing to take a small pay cut and play for the big European clubs. It's not like he won't still go to Saudi when he reaches 30. It's not like he will be earning peanuts in Europe. Why not cement your legacy and go for the dough later?

Well, poor man no dey advice rich man for Naija.

Chelle only succeeded in crowding the midfield thereby making us more difficult to breakdown.

However, there's no imagination going forward. No creativity whatsoever. No penetration, no dangerous slalom runs. At a point whenever we had the ball, the Russians started to simply sit back and wait for us to hand it back to them.

It's clear this diamond formation is made for defense, for protecting leads and nothing else.

Make Chelle play 4-3-3 at least we go enjoy the game small. Boredom wan finish me with this formation, I swear.

Mybettingtips:
We need to talk about Simon Moses. He spoils attack nowadays. What happened to this guys? He can’t take on defenders anymore

We need wingers. Simon's dribbling has forsaken him. One successful dribble and ten failed dribbles.

Line up

Was it necessary to start Nwabali? Lol. Maybe give Okoye a run out na. Na friendly.

Nice to see Dessers back and starting. As for those NFF egunje products on the list, na God go punish them.
