Is Eric Chelle’s Super Eagles diaspora push lazy or smart

Debate has intensified over Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle’s growing reliance on foreign born players of Nigerian descent, with many asking if his diaspora recruitment drive is a smart strategy or a lazy shortcut. Supporters argue that the approach reflects modern football realities, while critics fear it may weaken opportunities for home based talents in the Nigerian league. Since taking charge, Chelle has widened Nigeria’s scouting network across Europe, targeting dual nationality professionals who are eligible to represent the country. He has already secured commitments from players such as defenders Felix Agu and Ryan Alebiosu and goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, while holding talks with several other prospects who grew up abroad. Chelle insists that his focus is not on passports but on quality and fit for his tactical plans. He has repeatedly said that he cannot invite every interested player and […]

Ajibade blasts NFF over poor Falcons WAFCON plans

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has criticised the Nigeria Football Federation over what she called poor preparation for upcoming tournaments, including the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. In a series of posts on her Instagram story on Wednesday, she expressed frustration that the NFF had not officially communicated key details such as the opening date of the national team camp and confirmed friendly matches for the April international window. Ajibade shared a screenshot of a chat that appeared to show an NFF official informally telling her that camp would open on April 11. She condemned the lack of formal notice, saying players were still in the dark about camp logistics and preparatory games for the window running from April 7 to 18. She reminded the federation that the team is not only […]

Asisat Oshoala: ‘I once dreamed of being a lawyer, not a footballer’

Super Falcons and Bay FC striker Asisat Oshoala has revealed that her childhood dream was to become a lawyer, not a professional footballer. She said she was an intelligent student and her parents strongly pushed her towards education and a legal career. Oshoala explained that as a young girl growing up in Ikorodu, Lagos, she loved football so much that she often had to sneak out or lie just to go and play with friends. Her parents initially opposed the idea of her playing football seriously and punished her several times for choosing the game over schoolwork. “I wanted to be a lawyer,” she recalled, adding that she only began to consider football as a real career when she saw how good she was on the pitch and how quickly her talent was attracting attention. The turning point came after […]

Alex Iwobi Says His Parents Taught Him The Art Of Giving

Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi says his parents played a central role in teaching him the value of giving and caring for others. He explained that many of his charitable activities today are shaped by simple acts of kindness he watched at home while growing up. Iwobi recalled how his father would leave bottles of water outside for waste collectors and support people around their neighbourhood in small but consistent ways. Those little gestures, he said, showed him that helping others does not always require grand resources, only a genuine desire to make life easier for people. He noted that this mindset now guides his approach to community work. For him, success as a footballer is not just about goals and trophies, but also about using his platform to give back. In recent years, Iwobi has organised charity […]

Egbe seeks emergency action on crumbling NPFL stadiums

Sports facilities expert Ebi Egbe has called for a state of emergency on infrastructure in the Nigeria Premier Football League after the league slumped to 91st in the world rankings.​ Egbe, CEO of Monimichelle Sports Facilities Construction Limited, said the sharp drop confirmed years of neglect of basic football infrastructure. He blamed substandard pitches as the biggest single obstacle to the growth of the Nigerian game.​ According to him, no league can compete with top nations while matches are played on poor, outdated surfaces. He argued that good pitches can deliver up to 70 percent success for technically sound teams by allowing them to express modern tactics and ball work.​ Egbe noted that Nigerian clubs are at a clear disadvantage when they travel to countries with modern, FIFA‑standard stadiums in North and Southern Africa. He urged government and football administrators […]
