Where is Echigini Jenifer for crying out loud? Why is she not in this list?
Check well. To re-Check is free bro.
LOL
Oh just found out she is in , shown on the green print list. Really happy to see Jenny in the squad. Arguably our best attacking midfielder alongside Tony Payne. Now we are good to go.
The squad is too old they’ll be over run again as usual.
What of this Fernabache girl, Roosa Ariyo, Onyinyechi Zogg and Ngozi Okobi, not relevant I guess!
@ tokz,nigeria national teams thrive on pessimism from fans. So I honestly love your post.
Good selection! No Ahmed Musa.
Shine ya eyes well well my G. Ahmed Musa of Super Falcons is there in Onome Ebi. The only reason people don’t complain too much is because Ebi is not a mallam.
Lol.
Nice one Akanlo Ede, some people don’t just know when to quit… We will forever respect and miss the likes of Okocha, he left at the loudest ovation… Never overstay your welcome… I wish this team well.
I disagree,the reason people don’t complain because she’s still very useful to the team.She gives very good shift when called upon and start ahead of much younger players on merit.
So when a senior player is productive people will turn a blind eye to their age but you can’t say the same for Musa who’s largely surplus to requirement both at club and country respectively.
@AkanloEde, una Sabi to make person laugh shaaaa!!!!
But just @Monkey post will come fore you while @ugo will got your back, just watch it.
Why exactly isn’t Okobi in thst team? She was our bedt midfielder at the last AWCON.
A good team list. Everybody can’t be selected. Let’s give the coach some credit. 7
Ngozi okobi, should have been in thid list, she is more stronger on the ball and more experienced among all of the midfielders, why on will our best midfieder at the awcon been dropped this coach should please explain this.
Ngozi Okobi ought to be there instead of that Onumonu crap
Generally, it’s commendation for this list and it’s surprising concerning NFF. Na because of them I believe FIFA chose to pay the players $30k directly instead if via the federations. I expected a padded list oh but they dodged a bullet from fans
