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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
