Head Coach Bankole Olowookere has listed Captain Taiwo Afolabi and forwards Harmony Chidi and Peace Effiong in his 21-woman Flamingos’ roster for this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals in the Dominican Republic.

The clinical Chidi scored 13 of the team’s record-setting 25 goals in the qualifying series, as the bronze medallists from the last edition of the championship in India barnstormed their way past Central African Republic, Burkina Faso and Liberia in the continental campaign.

Petite midfielder Afolabi will lead the midfield, alongside Faridat Abdulwahab, Shakirat Moshood and Ayomide Rotimi, while first-choice goalkeeper Christiana Uzoma will have Sylvia Echefu and Elizabeth Boniface pushing her to her best all the time.

Taiwo Adegoke leads six other defenders, with Harmony Chidi leading six other forwards including Peace Effiong.

Nigeria will compete in Group A of the 16-nation finals alongside host nation Dominican Republic, Ecuador and New Zealand.

    I hope he picked these players on merit because something I noticed with Nigerian coaches especially at youth levels,their ethnicity and in some cases religion dominates the list of players.
    Since this trend,we have struggled to make a mark,we only beat small teams and lose against power houses who came with full strength squad as against our understrength doctored squad.
    However,if genuinely this squad was picked on merit respect to the coaches also using this platform to wish them a successful tournament.

      Are you in camp because you don cause back and forth today on this thread. If you were in camp tell us what you saw and how you came to this judgement. Everyone’s experience is different and the case of the matter are always different so don’t use mr a to judge b. A lot of people are not intelligent online yet they carry a lot of people into their nonsense and I know someone like that here drey and a few persons always trying to infuse their shallow mindset on everyone. Follow follow write up is a sign of weakness, may God set you free from the shadows of men.

  • Where is Ireland based Simone Reilly? Five years from now you will see here playing for Ireland against Nigeria.

    Chris Danjuma and now Bankole Olowookere snubbed this young enterprising talent.

    Anyways good luck to the Flamingoes.

    • Chima E Samuels 4 days ago

      I was about asking the same but it seems they only used her as training materials. If she was better and dropped then we shouldn’t talk too much because every man will be judged according to their deeds on that great day.

        shima m daneil – born bastard agberu tribalistic ewu – common wild animal here also trying to talk when real intelligence nigraeins are talking, opening is fowl mouth and polutioning the air – when senior men like deo and dr grey and greentruf along with coache and the others they are talking sense, nobody need animals like you shima k daniels to put your dirty mouth in tings – wicked tribalstic animal, you will be the first one to receive that judgement which yuh har talking about idiot! kwasia! idiot triblastic pig! lmaaooo

      • 9jaRealist 4 days ago

        I was hoping she would be good enough to make the team, but apparently she wasn’t…GOOD LUCK to her and to the team!

        • Chima E Samuels 3 days ago

          That’s the point we are not in camp to see for ourselves. 9jarealist you are very right and the talkers knows this but they’re creating a scene due to inferiority sickness that always make them come at me day in and out. I say it again if she was better then all this noise will be right.

    • Dr. Drey 4 days ago

      You must have posted your comment while I was typing mine below.

      That is the abracadabric nature of Nigerian local coaches for you.

      Once again, I hope we are not about to witness another David Alaba vs Matthew Edile debacle.

      Local coaches will always prove to you that you can never vouch for them.

      Let me join you in saying good luck to the flamingos.

    • Two reasons why I believe she was dropped and I can swear on my mom’s grave one or both reasons will be very valid. Nobody can tell me she wasn’t enthusiastic to don our jersey or she didn’t know her exams would clash with the world cup if NFF in their act of blame game tells us she went to school.

      1. Most likely, the girl found it repulsive to part with money in order to play for her fatherland. I can’t put it past our local coaches to ask for such. Her “godfather” might have wanted her introduction to be played by the rules but since our cadet teams coaches are not on salaries, then “no shishi” happened to that girl

      2. Coaching techniques(using brawns rather than brains), she must have found, were alien to what she was groomed in. She might have used “over sabi” to suggest more effective tricks in training and like a full class teacher who is perpetually jittery of a bright student during classes, the know it all, one directional coaches had enough of her display of knowledge. Imagine her telling her contemporaries in camp the way to trap or swerve the ball before shooting or locating the nearest teammates in a manner the highfalutin coaches have never heard.

      Since there are no consequences for failure by glasshouse but only cadet team elevation for poor performance by the coaches, these ones might be rewarded even if things go south.

      Check the list na. Oyibo wanted to disrupt the “one eyed man is king of the blind” circus due to her obvious football sense and superiority.

      For glasshouse not to say anything speaks volumes. Some godfathers candidates are too good to be dropped for a girl who wanted to be on the team on merit

      • 9jaRealist 4 days ago

        Thieves always think everyone else also steals. Quit with the low self-esteem projection…smh

    • 9jaRealist 4 days ago

      @DEO, hoping you feel just as badly for all of the other “young enterprising talent” dropped from the initial list of 35 players called to camp (interestingly Reilly wasn’t one of them)….

      Meanwhile, if Reilly ends up playing for Ireland, I will still be very happy for her and her career. 

      • Seafetcher 3 days ago

        naija faker -fakest – yuh are nothing but a big fool – idiot, goat trying to form like say him nor be madman on csn – no wonder everybody hates you, am sure is the same in your derry life out of csn- kwasia!

    • Dr. Drey 3 days ago

      Of course….Reilly wasn’t “good enough” like David Alaba wasn’t good enough to make Nigeria’s u17 national team but was good enough to make the Austrian senior national team a year or 2 later…LMAOoo

      Those who were “good enough” then have since become relics of the past as early as a decade ago while Alaba is currently playing in Real Madrid…LMAOoo

      Same way Semi Ajayi who wasn’t “good enough” for John Obuh’s u20 is still active at the highest level while those he was pushed put for have long faded into oblivion if not retired outright….LMAOoo

      We’ve seen that movie before…LMAOoo….and we know how it often ends.

      A player who at 16yrs has debuted already for Bohemians FC Seniors is so bad she can’t make Nigeria’s u17s…LMAOoo. So says the man who dares to mention the word LOGIC in his statements.

      God will keep us all alive beyond the coming decade.

      I hope all the attacking players picked ahead of her become balon dor nominees in the nearest future.

      • Greenturf 3 days ago

        Apparently,i saw a game a friendly tournament the flying eagles was involved.
        Still remember vividly the fantastic displays of beanpole Semi Ajayi,but to my surprise he was left out of the final squad..Was really pissed off with John Obu for that unfortunate decision.Because the ones he settled for in the central defence weren’t any better.
        I don’t trust our local coaches,perhaps a few of them are good and fair with their decisions but many aren’t.

        • Dr. Drey 3 days ago

          Its the Toulon International Invitational tournament you are referring to Greenturf.

          I also watched that tournament then and Semi Ajayi was clearly the standout player for Nigeria in that tournament after Alhaji Gero. He was in Arsenal’s U21s at the time.

          And then the next thing we saw……final list released by Obuh with Ajayi’s name completely missing….LMAOoo

          Let us believe, according to 9ja-lunatic, that ‘apparently he wasn’t good enough’…..LMAOOoo

          • Greenturf 3 days ago

            Yes Toulon invitational tournament you’re right..Ajayi was colossal in defence for the flying eagles,felt sorry for the young fella then was downhearted,but like I said in my previous post,Ajayi didn’t give up his dreams of playing for Nigeria,he was decided on where his international future lies.
            Today he’s a full international player for Nigeria,he has lived his dreams,wish the likes of Alaba and the rest were patient,our national team would have been the better with these classy players.

          • Dr. Drey 3 days ago

            Well, with regard to Ajayi ‘not giving up’ on his dreams of playing, I don’t know if we should say we were ‘fortunate’ he didn’t graduate to the senior team of Arsenal like Saka. Otherwise, it would have been ‘au revoir’ Nigeria.

            Lets just pity 9ja-lunatic and give him the ego boost he so much craves by agreeing according to him that Semi was ‘just not good enough’ for Obuh’s u20 side at that time……LMAOOoo.

            Otherwise he would claim we are suffering from INFERIORITY COMPLEX for daring to question his omission from the final WC squad at the time despite being a stand out performer over the 4 games the team played at the Toulon Tournament.

        • 9jaRealist 3 days ago

          @GREENTURF, Ajayi’s partner in CD at that Toulon Tourney in 2013 was Ndidi who is still presently playing for Nigeria (contrary to our resident WitchDoctor’s ignorant insinuations…LOL!)), and in fact is playing at a HIGHER level of club football than Ajayi in a country where Ajayi was born, grew up and  received his football education. SMH

          Moses Simon was also part of the Toulon squad and continues to perform at a high level, both at club and national team levels. In contrast, look at the squads of the other nations at that tournament and several of them (including France and Spain) do not have a single player of those U20 squads currently playing for their senior NT.

          By the tortured Babalawo logic that continues to darken these pages, the coaches of those football powers must have been corrupt and incompetent – except that his in-bred INFERIORITY COMPLEX cannot permit his brain to follow even his own tortured logic to such a (logical) conclusion. LMAOOO

  • Dr. Drey 4 days ago

    Hahahahaha….So Simone Reilly was found not good enough to make a Nigerian u17 squad…??

    She was dropped from the u20 world cup by Danjuma and I thought that was because she was still within the age bracket of featuring for the u17s.

    But apparently, a player under the radars of Arsenal and West Ham Ladies of London is not good enough to make Nigeria’s squad to the u17 world cup…..I hope those selected ahead of her are all balon dor nominees in the making…..LMAOooo.

    She is here accepting call ups to the Nigerian camps, spending her time [and I bet resources] to honour and participate in camps and our ‘local coaches’ are ping ponging her from left to right. When she hits it big now and is being courted by Ireland and/or England they will start running helter skelter sending emmisaries to Europe to go and beg her to consider Nigeria. There is also one Oyekachi girl currenlty playing in Barcelona, we will not make efforts to get her until like Samu Omorodion, she is on the cusp of hitting it big with the senior sides

    While I must admit, I was never with them in camp and hence cannot categorically rate here above or below those who have been selected, I hope this will not be another David/Alaba vs Matthew Edile case where the excuse for dropping the former from the 2007 ‘u17’ squad for the latter was that he wasn’t “strong and mature” enough…..only for the former to debut for Austria’s senior national team a year later and go on to play for Bayern Munchen and Real Madrid [till date], while the latter faded into thin dust right after winning the u17 world cup in 2007.

    This same coach took another foreign-born Alima Attervall Alase, who was already playing in the Swedish league for IFK Gotenborg to the last u17 worldcup and never gave her even 1 minute of game time, even if it is to cap-tie her for Nigeria. Was that how bad or inferiror to the home grown players she was….that she couldn’t get even 1 minute in 6 matches Nigeria played at the tournament??

    I hope something sinister is not brewing here.

    • Coache 4 days ago

      Yet they might not win the cup despite all these higi haga.

    • 9jaRealist 4 days ago

      WitchDoctor, just wish the team GOOD LUCK and get over this in-bred INFERIORITY COMPLEX of yours…SMH

      Exactly how any games have Alima Alade actually ever played for Goteborg? Dude, EVERY NIGERIAN prospect, regardless of where they were born, DESERVES consideration for the Nigerian NT team based on INDIVIDUAL merit. There should be no special treatment or consideration for anyone (regardless if they CHOSE to use their own resources – that’s the least we can do for OUR nation) – regardless of whose “radars” the person is supposed to be.

      • Dr.Drey 4 days ago

        Hahahahaha….this confused drunkard disappeared into thin air like fart since when Danjuma brought him back down to earth with a loud tud in the dust….LMAOoo…only to rear his head today….LMAOoo

        I hope you will not someday come here to lie to people for free that the falconets and flamingoes world cup camps also rán concurrently….LMAOoo

        I’ll rather be a witch doctor than be a cheap liar.

        If rating highly and questioning the omission of a player on the radar of Arsenal and West ham from our U17 national team amounts to inferiority complex….then I’ll rather be inferirorly complexed for the rest of my life than be a celebrant mediocrity like you.

        As if people just wake up from their beds pack their boots and just go start playing with the senior squad of IFK Goteborg in
        the Swedish elitesserien….LMAOoo…or just pop up on the Radars of English top division clubs by shooting dance videos in their bedrooms.

        So it is only homegrown players who have individual merit to play in the U17 national team…? LMAOoo…players like Simone Reilly and Alima Alase (who by the way was already playing her 2nd season in Sweden’s elite division at the time) do not have individual merit to even play 1 minute for their motherland.

        Just wish the team Goodluck…..the typical admonision of crooks and thieves when they have been caught redhanded subverting Justice and fairness.

        Ever heard the saying “you make your own luck before”….?!

        • 9jaRealist 4 days ago

          LMAOO at the frustrated Witchdoctor….

          Like I keep telling you, there’s real-life outside of CS forum. Try it, perhaps starting with a girlfriend or wife (or perhaps a boyfriend or husband, whichever floats your boat is not anyone’s place to judge).

          Yes, Chris Danjuma’s Falconets team didn’t WC – just like 23 other teams at the same competition. By your tortured Agbero logic, that makes it 23 poor coaches at the completion – particularly including the coaches of Spain, Netherlands, etc., that were all beaten by Spain. LMAOOOO

          Meanwhile, your Massa and idol Randy Waldrum, whom you served as specialist stool sampler and repeatedly administered oral colonoscopy to, went to the Olympics and came back EMPTY-HANDED – not even managing a single draw much less a victory.  LMAOOO

            It is when their mouths have been rubbed in the dust they always remember they have lives outside CSN…..LMAOOoo

            To show how deeply frustrated you are at the moment, a thread about olowookere and the inexplicable dropping of a prospect who has shown interest in her fatherland early in her career has been diverted to Waldrum because of your desperation to score cheap points….Lmaooo.

            Is it not better to have Waldrum as Master than to have Danjuma as a god…?? LMAOOooo. The only coach to have taken the ‘u20s’ to the WC 3 times, the WAFU 2 times and the Falcons and FAILED WOEFULLY in all….LMAOOooo. At least Waldrum didn’t need 3 attempts to qualify for, and equal our previous performance at the olympics.

          • 9jaRealist 3 days ago

            @WitchDoctor, for the umpteenth the Massa that you stool-sample for, Randy, did NOT qualify Nigeria for the Olympics – rather JUSTIN MADUGU and Randy Waldrum did! LMAO

            Shame that at the Olympic Games itself, only one of them (no point in naming names) undid all of the hard work that Madugu did in properly setting us on course to get there! SMH

      Those guys are clowns really. Their lives are overwhelmed with double standards. We never saw or heard such uproar when Amunike and his likes took a “national” u17 team to the world cup composing of approximately 95% of Igbos in 2015. With the exception of Osimhen and Funso, the rest were mostly Igbos. These same bigots attacked the same coach two years ago, some going to the extreme of praying for the team to fail because the team was not composed of at least 20 Igbo players. Egregious!

  • 9jaRealist 4 days ago

    No Mary Aderemi?

    Coach Olowookere recently said that one of the team’s key players had been injured. I think he might have been referring to Mary because she is the ‘Hamilatu Ayinde’ of this team. 

    GOOD LUCK GIRLS! 

  • Greenturf 3 days ago

    It’s tough when foreign borns make that effort to leave their comfort zone to come play for Nigeria and getting dropped in the end,its really sad..I can understand the sympathy shown to these brave Nigerians.
    We all know how the system works in Nigeria because if Reilly has no Godfather she may not make the squad,to put it another way,the coaches may have made up their mind on particular subjects who have mastered their philosophy and didn’t see need to make changes just like the English proverb says “If it ain’t broke,don’t fix it”.
    Meanwhile,these foreign borns as good as they are,may struggle for adaptation.The style of play which may differ from what they’re used to,also coaches expectations,most Nigerian coaches would prefer players that have energy and imposing physicality to ones with less physicality regardless their skills.The weather,food and problem understanding the coaches and players who may result to pidgin or local languages.
    Their are multiple factors which may hold out against these foreign borns unfortunately.
    These factors could be behind the reason David Alaba was dropped for Matthew Edile who may be older than Alaba,because back then age discrepancies was high..A young Alaba may not have same physicality and speed of older Edile or they could be same age but Edile at the time could be better from the coaches judgements.However,Alaba could have developed better to become an established footballer known worldwide but may not be better at the time 2007 from the Nigerian coaches perspective or the coaches were profiteering..We don’t know these things..
    The bottom line is,if I have made up my mind to play for a country i should stick with my choices,though I wasn’t picked today,I could develop my game to a level of making the team tomorrow.Don’t give up your dreams remain committed and steadfast.

    • 9jaRealist 3 days ago

      @GREENTURF, and you think it’s easy for Nigerian-born players (many of whom were born into poverty) to make the effort to play for Nigeria and get dropped in the end? 

      You folks really need to quit with this low esteemed inferiority complex. All NIGERIANS should be treated EQUALLY, and it’s rather irritating to see folks advocating for special treatment for some Nigerians based on nothing more than ‘accident’ of birthplace. SMH

      Btw, would have liked to have Reilly make the team but not at all bent out of shape about her eventual omission like the apparent legion the inferiority complex folks trolling this forum. Reilly wouldn’t be the first (and likely not the last) foreign-born NIGERIAN to try out for the youth NTs (with mixed outcomes). Off the top of my head, the likes of Courtney Dike and Sophia Omidiji successfully tried out for the U20 team (and even went on to play for the Super Falcons). In fact, Sophia’s kid brother even  successfully tried out for the U15 Future Eagles and played at the Africa Youth Games in Morocco. Somehow, it didn’t seem that “weather, food and pidgin” affected them.

            My brother. Everyday I pray that this country should divide so that we can have real peace and sanity. It’s tiring that best friends and long time business partners are falling out due to this bigotry!

            Nigerian is 200m+… how many is Croatia that has won 1 Silver and 2 bronzes in the WC?

      • @9jarealist
        I don’t know you, but a man’s mentality defines him. From your words, simply put. you are a bigot.
        You try to cloud your bigotry by feigning being patriotic. But it’s easy to see through you. You are far from being patriotic.
        A patriot wants the best for his country. Only the best is good enough.

        ‘…and it’s rather irritating to see folks advocating for special treatment for some Nigerians based on nothing more than ‘accident’ of birthplace. ‘
        What does this even mean? Disgraceful.
        So, by your logic, everyone born abroad is by ‘accident’. And they are no longer Nigerians? All those with one half of their parents being foreign are no longer Nigerians?
        Question is, what make you more Nigerian than the foreign born and bred and the mixed Nigerians?

        How is it preferential treatment to give every Nigerian (no matter where they are born or based) equal opportunity to prove themselves. Or by your rationality, it’s only equal when they are locally based?

        Why are you in denial, when it’s common knowledge that most trained abroad (pertaining football and sports in general) are by far better technically developed than the local based due to better infrastructure, facilities, training and environment. How is it inferiority complex to acknowledge this?

        Like everyone don’t know how corrupt and inept the selection process is in Nigeria.

        Please, it is best to cut out the coping and gaslighting, there is nothing to gain in bigotry. ıt doesn’t help you. And it is a disservice to the country your claim to fight for.

        • Chima E Samuels 3 days ago

          One too is coming to be judge that someone is sounding unreasonable. You people can live in illusion that you have become judges over people after smoking wee and or whatever is sold at the black market. Make God punishment on una no ever end because you are dangers to the society trying to promote your agenda and spreading contentious attitude. I thought I was the only one the idiots were trying to distract for whatever reason not knowing they also come after others who don’t align with their negative behaviours. My days on this page will be over if CSN don’t censor some bad behaviours.

          Mr. HUSH, abegi follow your monicker and HUSH It, as you seem to be struggling with basic comprehension…smh.

          All human being are the result of the ‘accident’ of their birthplace as we do not dictate where we are born. Meanwhile, you miss the point about emphasizing (and even capitalizing, for the benefit of those who ride the slow bus) “NIGERIAN” – or even the substantive point that EVERY NIGERIAN DESERVES EQUAL TREATMENT!! 

          Please next time, don’t allow your free access to Internet and typing ability to get ahead of your capacity to comprehend. Read, COMPREHEND, and then comment thereafter. SMDH

            Oh. it took me so long to respond because you are so far off my radar, it takes me time to notice you.

            But I digress.

            I will respond to you for the last time. just because I don’t waste time on Bigots and hypocrites.

            I don’t think you understand the definition of accident.
            But why would you. When you are filled with vitriol, you stop been logical.

            I presume you are trying to say, ‘All humans birthplace are circumstantial’ then just maybe you might be right. Cause things that lead to such circumstance (birthplace included) could be planned, unplanned or accidental.
            So, alarming you chose to use the ‘ accident’ but hey, maybe you are an accident or so, I don’t know; Like I said I don’t know you. But one thing I do know for sure, through your words, is that you are a BİGOT. And you can say whatever you will, it doesn’t change that fact.

            Now keep spewing all those vitriols you call words, trust me, I am sure you need it to survive.

            ciao.

            “….it took me so long to respond because you are so far off my radar, it takes me time to notice you….”

            Choic……Mr Hush. That one really hit hard.

            Products of accidents will always think everyone is also a product of accident…LMAOoo

          • 9jaRealist 2 days ago

            @Mr. HUSH, if your weird measure of self-importance is the time of response, it took me even longer to respond to your initial drivel borne out of your lack of basic comprehension….LOL!

            Meanwhile, the CHILDISH resort to sophistry and semantics in a language that you obviously still struggling to grasp is laughable. So, nope, my statement refers to the “accident” of our birthplace – not to circumstances of birth, which is an entirely disparate and different concept. Dude, basic English language is not that difficult to grasp, except for folks like you obviously laboring under a basic comprehension deficit…LMAO!

            Nevertheless, not surprising to see you scurry away with your furry tail between your legs. Just funny that someone who unsolicitedly chose to respond to my comment is now getting his panties in a twist and throwing his toys out of his pram in a CHILDISH tantrum. SMH

          • 9jaRealist 2 days ago

            @WitchDoctor, does Mr. HUSH(Puppy) bat for your team (hey, it’s a free world)?! You seem to be going especially HARD on the SUCK UP this time (no puns intended)…LMAO!! 

  • Ayphillydegreat 3 days ago

    His team got bronze in the last edition, I hope they can go one better this time. What really matters is to see future generations that can make the SuperFalcons stronger. Good luck girls. 

    • 9jaRealist 3 days ago

      The team hopefully will do even better than the did in 2022…

      Even if they don’t, I am reasonably certain that they will do us PROUD. Abegi, ignore the NAYSAYERS with their (to borrow a saying) Nattering Nabobs of Negativism. It says something about some folks in-bred INFERIORITY COMPLEX that they will desperately pray and hope for the failure of NIGERIAN (emphasis added) teams under an indigenous coach so as to justify their continued idolatry of Reserved-for-Africans journeymen Oyinbo coaches, who cannot even get professional jobs in their own nations. 

      BEST WISHES TO OUR FLAMINGOS!  

      • Ayphillydegreat 2 days ago

        I don’t really have any issues with local coaches at the Underage level. Obviously, sometimes they tend to favor players they already know better. Reilly has been given a chance to train with them and I feel maybe the coach prefers players who are more physically capable in her role.

        What I always look for in underage football is to see a possible future star. As it’s mostly a developmental phase whatever the outcome of the tournament. I hope they can be better than the last edition or at least achieve sane feat. 

        However, I believe every Nigerian irrespective of where they come deserves an equal opportunity. The coach knows his players and I can only wish them all the best. It doesn’t really matter if all the players came from one part of the country or anywhere in the world, all I see is Nigerian players. 

        • 9jaRealist 2 days ago

          I have been preaching that EVERY NIGERIAN (regardless of the ‘ACCIDENT’ of birth) deserves equal treatment and opportunity – and of course Reilly has had her opportunity (which frankly many others may never get) to audition for inclusion in not 1, but 2, youth NTs.

          Meanwhile, without almost certainly anyone on this forum having seen Reilly play or have privity to the team’s training sessions, I think (with all due respect) that it borders on stereotyping to imply that her exclusion has anything to do with “physically capable.”

          GOOD LUCK TO THOSE CHOSEN (as well as those not chosen in their careers)!

          • Ayphillydegreat 2 days ago

            Both me and you know local coaches will prioritize on players who are more physical at that level. He took one foreign born to the last edition and didn’t kick a ball. 

            Well the stereotypical tendency to prefer your own guys or girls will always be prevalent unless we just want to keep deceiving ourselves even though we know what we’re doing. 

            As I’ve obliged what matters is the girls development and I can only wish them all the best. Olowokere did well with the team last term let’s hope he can achieve something greater this time. 

            Taiwo Afolabi and Harmony Chidi are two future stars I’m looking forward to seeing. 

  • I believe most of these young girls will do themselves proud in the tournament.

    It’s always tricky assessing players in U-17 level because, physically, mentally and psychologically, they are not fully cooked (not even close). In years and decades to come, some of the U-17 strikers will end up as defenders and midfielder will become wingers with centre-backs ending up as centre forwards. Only goalkeepers seem destined to continue from where they started.

    Being in their formative years, it is better to always appreciate their raw skills and talents and ability to stay the course by playing to their coaches’ instructions with focus, flair and fortitude.

    That said, 2 players I am particularly looking forward to savoring are: Harmony Chidi (Imo Strikers) and Ramotalahi Kareem (Honey Badgers).

    Chidi Harmony is a star in the making for sure. Even at this level, she has than uncanny ability to grab fans’ attention delightfully and lock it in place for the duration whenever she on the ball.

    What she has, call it football-charisma or pitch-presence, she has in abundance. Her technical prowess is undeniable both viscerally and rationally.

    She has that captivating capacity to allow her movement on grass and contact with the ball to crystalise this visually poetic, pitch-perfect ballet of attacking eloquence and offensive ruthlessness in front of goal which – even at this level – is beyond critique. The cameras love her and us content creators adore her. Not so many players come even close.

    I can’t rave about this girl enough with her girl-next-door demeanor in interviews and also on the pitch endearing me to her the more.

    The last time a Nigerian was top scorer in the Under-17 Women World Cup qualifiers was in 2018 when Rasheedat Ajibade shared the accolade with Egypt’s Noha Tarek on 8 goals each. Up stepped Chidi Harmony this year with a whooping 12 goals to her nom- de-plume. Unlike Ajibade in 2018, this selfish dangerous damsel will not share the top slot with anyone as the second placed players only managed 8 goals and the third placed players (including her Nigerian colleagues of Ramota Kareem, Shakirat Moshood and Peace Effiong) lagging far further behind with 3 goals each.

    To Ramota Kareem, I love and adore her game dearly. Her poise, grace and elegance on the ball with neat first touches, creatively-incisive movements and pitch-perfect passes wrapped up in all-round confidence are a joy to behold. But she worries me greatly because she seems to allow the moment to get to her head thereby playing to the gallery. He confidence and boldness easily veers into unwanted territories of over-confidence and carelessness. If she can keep her excesses under leash, she may well emerge contender of player of the tournament. First off, she has to convince her coach that she has enough “seriousness” to warrant a place in the starting line up of team for her potentials to be seen and to flourish.

    Again, good luck to the Flamingos – we are rooting for you all. Go and do Nigeria proud.

    • 9jaRealist 3 days ago

      @DEO, as usual enjoy your analyses (even when I do not always agree…LOL!). Keep it up.

      Agree that it looks a very promising team (albeit I still think it will miss Mary Aderemi, unless the replacement turns out to be just as good). Meanwhile, upfront I am looking forward to the PEACE AND HARMONY attack – loosely reminiscent of the Amokachi and Yekini combo of yore. Frankly, I think Peace Effiong has the most upside on the team and is arguably the most complete forward/player on the squad, while Chidi Harmony has consistently proven (even well before her Flamingos stint – going back to grassroots and regional competitions) to be a dependable goalscorer.

      GOOD LUCK TO OUR FLAMINGOS! Haters can go hug a transformer!!
