Congratulations ladies! Congratulations my brother Christopher Danjuma a.k.a ChrisDan.
Well done ladies. I am also looking forward to the Flamingos to do the business in their own qualifiers too. It will be fabulous to see the Falconets and Flamingos at their respective world cups this year.
Congratulations girls.
It`s damn too bad that NFF could not Air this match live. The 1st leg in Cameroon was live on Tele. Nothing is functioning in that country. I think Football activities should also be handed over to Aliko Dangote.
