Okafor wrote, “As with all chapters in life, there comes a time to say goodbye. Today, I am closing the chapter with Heartland FC, a club that has been an integral part of my journey. I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who supported and believed in me from the moment I joined the club.”
He continued, “Over the past two years, Heartland FC has been more than just a team; it has been a place of significant personal and professional growth.
The experiences, both challenging and rewarding, and the wonderful people I met will always hold a special place in my heart. I will carry forward the lessons learned and the cherished memories made with me as I embark on this new chapter with Rangers.”

Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
