Beautiful morning to y'all. Sorry I'm blogging now, yesterday was stressful to say the least. I had to live tweet the Flying Eagles game and still run the commentary for a french speaking channel in English.

It wasn't funny at all. Anyways enough of my troubles and back to the main gist. Off course you would know by now that the Flying Eagles have qualified for the final of the 2015 Africa Youth Championship after edging out Ghana's Black Satellites by 2-0.

The game was scrappy to say the least, Ghana had tons of chances but couldn't score, I thought they played better than the Flying Eagles overall but Nigeria were more decisive.

Obinna Nwobodo's header was a pitch and Musa Muhammed also scored his fourth goal of the tournament, his fourth penalty to put it in context to become the highest goal scorer at the tournament.

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.

Abdullahi, 21, penned the deal with the Kuwaiti side after he rebuffed overtures from South Africa, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and a deal with Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon fell through at the last minute. The former Kano Pillars midfielder says he is comfortable with the deal as it affords him a new challenge and an avenue to put himself in the window. "I'm really happy with the deal. It's a new challenge that I am looking forward to," he told 9jafooty from his base in Kuwait. "A lot of people were surprised I chose Kuwait, but I am happy. Kuwait will be a springboard to better things. This is just a stepping stone. "I hope to give my all to the fans of the club and also help the team win laurels during my stay here." Abdullah
