  • Niger got talent meet two wonderful players

    Niger got talent meet two wonderful players

    Nigeria got Talllect meet 15 years old Nigerian descent Alabi Sam🇳🇬 that became the first youngest player from Newcastle academy to train with Newcastle senior team under coach🤵 Eddie Howe.

    Alabi🇳🇬 is extremely highly rated as one of the best midfielders in Newcastle academy..

    Meet Oguniyi Oluwatimilehin Abiodun aka omo Jesus. This wonderful Talllect born on 20 December 2001, is currently the captain of Fc Auda. This unique left-leg player was an attacking midfielder from youth. Oguniyi is a perfect player who has an individual skill of making decisive passes break through the defensive line and has good ball handling to control the tempo of the game with the unspeakable dribbling skill that I experienced during his game for Nigeria at the u23 qualifying game in Adamasingba stadium.
    I think this is what the national team have been missing since the retirement of Augustine Azuka “Jay-Jay” Okocha, a single player that can drive attacking with ex-ordinary skill of dribbling.

    watch highlights of his performance and goals.

  • Why African players should be respected

    Grassroot football in some African continents is just like starting from hell.
    Thank God for resenting parents who allow their children to play football, not like the olden days when children went on the field, we received a beating of his or her life.
    Let take a look at’s field where most of our young people train. Equipment’s available.
    The environment where most young players walk 3hours before getting onto the field and when most players after training have no food to eat. When players get injured on the field, playing only with fresh water will be taken to attempt the injuries. Something they get training find out the field has been rent out for people who want to do ceremony. Getting a job at your local professional club looks so frustrating. Attend to play for National Team you ask to pay money, but we still have great African players who have made us proud.
