Super Falcons players had to come together like unionists to cause confusion and force coach James Peters out of the team last weekend. Their grouse? The coach had so much influenced the selection with so many players who are by current form not good enough for the team while the coaches saddled with the responsibility of training the teams were sidelined.

| James Peters, almost beaten by players |
This reporter gathered authoritatively that the coach brought some of the players in the Trinidad & Tobago team to camp. He left out the number one goalkeeper in that team and brought in the second and third rated goalkeepers.
It would be recalled that I reported exclusively and authoritatively how he had demanded of sex from the best goalkeeper who refused his demand and she was assaulted verbally until she lost concentration crying up into the match Nigeria lost against South Korea 6-5.
Our camp sources said, “two of the girls who allowed him have carnal knowledge of them out of fear were brought into the senior national team. Whereas, the other players like keen followers of the team knew the final list that was released was sub-standard to the form shown in camp by the available players. This resulted in the revolt.
The list was moderately affected leading to some of his favourites sneaking in while the prominently less endowed were eventually dropped.
Captain Perpetual Nkwocha of Sunana SK, Sweden, dazzling winger Stella Mbachu of Rivers Angels and former Falconets stars, Oparanozie Desire of Delta Queens and Orji Ebere of Rivers Angels are among the new 21 Super Falcons who will represent Nigeria at the Africa Women Championship in South Africa.
The new final list of players was allegedly released Friday by the ceremonial head coach, Uche Eucharia. Bayelsa Queens I has goalkeeper Dede Precious, Oluehi Tochukwu, Ordega Francisca, and Sadoh Lorreta.
Delta Queens FC has Ajagba Chioma, Ohale Osinachi, Okobi Ngozi, and Ukaonu Helen.
From Rivers Angels are Jerome Ulunma, Akpa Gladys, Iroka Glory, and Chukwunoye Josephine.
Sunshine Queens, Nasarawa Amazons and Makwada Babes contribute one player each in Sunday Esther, Okorokwo Amarachi and Ayila Loveth.
Two other foreign based players, Chikwelu Rita of Umea IK FC Sweden, and Ebi Onome, Djurgardens FC, Sweden complete the list.
According to the Chief Media Officer of the NFF, Mr. Robinson Okosun the team is expected to depart for South Africa on the night of Wednesday 27th October, 2010 aboard Arik Air from the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos. Nigeria will take on Mali on Monday 1st November, South Africa November 4, and Tanzania on November 7, 2010 in the group matches. The championship will end on November 14.
The annoying thing here is that nobody at the NFF responds to these allegations of sexual harrasment.
ReplyDeleteThe best you can do is lie to the public that you investigated it and you found it was not true but they just ignore it.
And again, I ask permission to put this on my blog
