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 Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
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.
