NPFL IS BACK!!!!

-
The 2015 U-17 Africa Junior Championships have come and gone and I'm back home and rested too. Pity the Eaglets didn't win the tournament, but again this type of championships s for development even though I must also add I was disappointed with the general output of the boys as the tournament

Back home, had a long and interesting chat with Amuneke.

Well, enough of the Eaglets and unto things that will be happening soon.

I'm super excited the Glo Premier League is starting this weekend across Naija. We've waited for too long, but it's here now.



Here are the fixtures for week one of the Nigeria Professional Football League

  1 Heartland FC vs Kano Pillars FC4.00pm
2 Bayelsa United FC vs Lobi Stars FC  08/03/15 4.00pm
3 Enyimba Int’l FC vs Akwa United FC 08/03/15 4.00pm
4  FC Taraba vs Rangers Int’l FC 08/03/15 4.00pm
5 Sharks FC vs Sunshine Stars FC  08/03/154.00pm

9 El-Kanemi Warriors FC vs Nasarawa United FC  08/03/154.00pm
10  Wikki Tourists FC vs Shooting Stars FC


If you think last season with Mfon Udoh, Emem Udouk and others was fun. I can place top dollar ths season will be much better and exciting.

I also wanna put my money on Pillars or Enyimba to nick the title. I honesty can't see it past these two sides.
The Flying Eagles are already in Dakar, Senegal for the U20 Africa Youth Championship. Let's hope they go two better and nick the crown and qualify for New Zealand 2015.

I'll do preview of the championship and post maybe tomorrow evening, but for now that's my offering.

Elohor Godswill Ekpolo sits in the Barcelona dressing room, his Nike Tiempo boots comes off his foot as coach Jordi Vinyals pats him on the head for a great game and for good measure too. The talented right-back had earlier scored for FC Barcelona's Juvenile A squad (equivalent of the Barcelona C team) as they whipped Celtic 3-0 to round up the group stage matches of the 2013/14 Uefa Youth Champions League. The goal was his third in six group stage matches, as Barcelona's Under-19 team ran riot collecting 16 points from a possible 18in a group that also had the youth sides of AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic. Ekpolo is highly rated in the Blaugranas circles and is tipped to become a first team star very soon to follow the footstep of his more illustrious and established La Masia graduates like Carles Poyul, Sergio Busquets, and more recently Cameroonian youngster Jean Marie Dongou.

Arsenal U23 defender Joseph Olowu is primed to follow in the footsteps of former Arsenal star Alex Iwobi as he has declared his allegiance to Nigeria. Olowu, who is a mainstay in the Arsenal U23 side, was initially pencilled to be part of the Flying Eagles preparatory camp in Germany before Poland 2019 but injury cut short that dream. The centre back, who can also play at right-back and in defensive midfield overcame that injury and is now having a decent run in Arsenal’s U23 side. Olowu, 19, who also trains with the Arsenal first-team, told Andrew Randa that Nigeria has always been on his mind and will always be the first choice.
