Super Falcons Fall 0-1 to Canada in Friendly Ahead of Olympics
In a recent friendly match held at the La Quinta Football Centre in Malaga, Nigeria’s Super Falcons faced off against Canada, ultimately succumbing to a narrow 1-0 loss.
The Olympic champions from Canada asserted their dominance early, securing the decisive goal in the 18th minute of play.
Despite several opportunities to equalize, the Super Falcons were thwarted by their own shortcomings in front of goal.
Jennifer Echegini, newly signed by Paris Saint-Germain, came agonizingly close to leveling the score, striking the woodwork just seven minutes before the final whistle.
This defeat marks the Super Falcons’ first setback of the year 2024, prompting coach Randy Waldrum’s team to refocus their efforts on their upcoming challenge against Brazil in the 2024 Olympics.
Scheduled as a Group C encounter, this pivotal fixture is set to take place at the Stade Bordeaux next Thursday, where Nigeria will aim to bounce back and assert their prowess on the international stage.
It has been reported that the Nigerian Air Force has spotted some terrorist hideouts in Borno State.
The force was able to take out some of the facilities used as hideouts and disarmed some of the fighters.
The Director of Public Relations for the Air Force, Ehimen Ejodame, shared that they are beginning to catch up with and evoke fear among the terrorists.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This was done to ensure the safety of people traveling in and out of the state during the festive period.
In a statement, the agency said: “The special patrol is part of routine operational measures introduced during festive periods when there is usually high traffic volume on major roads.”
“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
The All Progressives Congress Lagos State chapter has released the names of its candidates for the House of Representatives in the 2027 elections.
The winners of Ikeja, Agege, and Ikorodu federal constituencies are James Abiodun Faleke (Ikeja Federal Constituency), Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa (Agege Federal Constituency), and Babajimi Benson (Ikorodu Federal Constituency).
Others include Muftau Egberongbe (Apapa), Moses Olanrewaju (Amuwo-Odofin), Adeyemi Alli (Mushin I), Moses Oluwatosin Fayinka (Mushin II), and Fuad Kayode Laguda (Surulere I).
