Troost Ekong has enjoyed the adulation and limelight but trust me when I say Semi Ajayi has been the best defender in this Tournament. Dude has been rock solid and has played every game.
He's the new Gentle Giant
Take your flowers
Oluwasemilogo Ibidapo Adesewo Ajayi!!!
In all honesty, we should let Chippa Utd enjoy this Nwabali Limelight. All these "he's a product of the NPFL is slightly off the mark". He's a bonafide product of the PSL. Take a bow the Premier Soccer League, this Afcon was made for the League!!!
In case anyone missed it, JJ Okocha scored a hatrick in Kigali at the Fifa delegates match between CAF and FIFA. Game ended 3-2, with Cafu also scoring twice for FIFA.
He still has it in him!!
What Beyond Limits FA and Sporting Lagos Academy are currently doing in Sweden means that your Project Mbappe doesn't necessarily have to involve your kid playing at Hale End in North London. You can also train them here with world class facilities and exposure.
In 2010, Jose Mourinho's Inter defeated Barcelona and completed just 74 passes in the 2nd Leg.....yes I said 74. Guess what, Barca made 691 passes plus 20 shots (Inter had 1). Bottom line, what we saw against Bayer Leverkusen was just child's play from JM
So delighted to announce that I have joined
@UghelliRovers
as Sporting Director.
We will be competing in the Nationwide League One (Third tier of League Football in Nigeria) and I can't wait to help take this club to enviable heights.
#LetsGoRovers
This guy here(Olumide Ajibolade) is criminally underrated.The work he's done with the Remo Stars football academy is impeccable. He must be integrated into the Nigeria football system to resuscitate our talent factory. He's Nigeria's poster boy for coaching in the near future
Jose Peseiro was Nigeria's best player today. His tactical switch ensured Gassett was blindsided. Peseiro's changes were also impactful....But Gosh!!! The organization at the back was on point. Thumbs Up Super Eagles
Around 2006/2007 at this time of the day, I'll have my ears glued to my grandpa's Aiwa transistor radio listening to Sports Summit on Metro 97.3fm...Godwin and Charles were just out of this world. Occasionally, Justin added spice plus Kelechi Bernard...Great times!!!!
Just learnt that my Egbon from way back, Basanya Kabiru "Stone" a staunch Arsenal fan passed recently. He is one of the reasons I'm here today in this profession. Bought me "Complete Sports" and "The Game" magazines because I couldn't afford them....God rest your soul Stone 💔

@54footballx
you guys out did yourselves. This is the standard we should aim for in the NPFL. I'm definitely sure it gets bigger next year. Salud!!!!
After 11 months at Mainland FM, today marks my final edition of "Sports Cruise". Massive shout-out to
@OpeyemiAkinyod2
and
@tunde_young
and to Listeners who have supported me during my time. I'll see you guys on drive time hopefully soon!!!
Hon. Kunle Soname, the owner of Remo Stars FC, CD Feirense turns 57 today. A man with a clear vision on how to develop the game in Nigeria. Happy Birthday Chairman!
Thank you My Oga! I still remember my debut on Top Sports. Was scared seeing Biola, Leye, Oma and Kufre plus you all in one room. Guys I listened to while eating brunch with my Dad every day!...Dreams come True
This is a plea to my friends on this space to help my friend from way back. No amount is too small, God bless you all as you donate to this cause. Thank you and please help Repost
The day this Osimhen wastefulness will cost us is drawing close. It already even cost us first place in this group. On the positive side, he's thumbing up his team mates
No AFCON on DSTV would actually be huge for Radio. Hence I present to you THE SUPER EAGLES AFCON SHOW brought to you by
@myAstymin
You can enjoy this radio show on
Inspiration FM Uyo
Urban FM Owerri
Hot FM Abuja
Top Radio Lagos
More details later!!!
#AFCON2023
Finidi George throwing Osimhen and the NFF under the bus is his parting shot. He's chosen to go down but with some fight. Finally some Steeze.
It is Finishdi!
I miss the football of the mid 2000's...pure skill, imagination, freedom. None of these XG nonsense we mention these days...Riquelme, Miccoli, Rui Costa...There was a game!
Don't let any Super Eagles journalist or PR put a positive spin towards these results.The truth here is that we ain't qualifying for that World Cup in 2026. This team can't beat South Africa over 2 legs, will most likely struggle in Benin Republic as well. Let's focus on WAFU cup
Now let's talk about Asisat Oshoala and where she ranks in Super Falcons history.
I think she's got nothing else to prove, and she's now undoubtedly Nigeria's greatest Female Footballer
"Incompetent loudmouth. Now he’s found his voice since he’s about to achieve his only ambition of leading a team at the Women’s World Cup"
Randy Waldrum qualifies Super Falcons for the Round of 16
Ademola Olajire right now!!!!
Just imagine if it was Uzoho who made that Osimhen error. This app will suffer a meltdown. Anyways, Osimhen should be scoring that with his eyes closed
It's just an exhibition Tourney, but the Naija Super8 has brought some genuine excitement for footie fans. Got a couple of people who have never seen a league game in Lagos looking forward to coming to the stadium tomorrow. We must seize this moment, this can be a turning point.
Enyimba is symbolic of how Nigeria football at club level has lost its way continentally. Mark my words, a collection of Nigerian players will NEVER be enough to win a Continental title.
African Football has advanced and we failed to tag along over a decade ago
"Sports Night" on
@NigeriainfoFM
won't air tonight because of the in-house coverage of the Europa League games. There might be a slight rescheduling from next week, but will update you guys. Thanks
On the Menu Tonight!
* NBA regular season MVP race (Emmanuel Chibuzor)
*Remo Stars reaction to IMC punishment (CEO Remo Stars)
*Managerial casualties in the Premier League
*Fantasy Premier League tips
*Must See TV this weekend
Plus Throwback Thursday
I'm still going to stick with the positives from the Enugu Rangers v Enyimba game, and that's the fact that the NPFL has got the potentials, but it needs to be maximised.
Don't let us act as if there are no crowd disturbances in European football
The Nigeria Premier League must learn how an exhibition tournament mattered so much to the players and the fans. I mean it's just N25m, but you could see that this meant more to everyone involved
Monday to Thursday 6pm (Mainland 98.3fm)
Monday to Friday 6am (Topradio 90.9fm)
Thursday 9pm - 9:15pm(Lagos Talks FM 91.3 )
Thursday 9pm -10 (Nigeria Info FM)
Still looking for more!!!
The "Agbero" stereotype we had for Chelsea fans didn't start with Babayaro's Chelsea. That "Autoglass" Chelsea wasn't popping in Naija UNTIL Jose Mourinho came through in 04'. So Mikel was partly right. I think JM was a massive factor in Chelsea's fanbase in Naij
Why does it feel like Sporting Lagos are not getting hyped up after yesterday's feat? Promotion to the NPL after just 2 years of establishment is no mean feat.
The growth has been rapid though and will give belief to private clubs like Ikorodu City, Vandrezzer to make that push
Until realise that coaches like Ladan Bosso, Salisu Yusuf, Fatai Amoo belong to the past, then we can start building a better future for Nigerian football.
*Iwuanyanwu Nationale NPL winner
*FIFA U-17 world cup title
*Invincible season with Ajax and Arsenal
*UCL with Ajax
*Olympic 🥇
*2 PL titles with Arsenal
*3 FA Cup Titles
*FA Cup Final winniner
Happy Birthday to Nigeria's most decorated footballer of all time, Kanu Nwankwo
Osimhen's price tag seems too high for most of the clubs. €130m for a striker who has only flourished in one season (the title winning year) plus a dodgy injury record is likely to get the big clubs sceptical. Napoli's insistence on that fee is not helping matters
Anytime I hear May D and Rayce, I remember the days at Topradio. was the best radio station in Lagos (believe me). Big shout out to Azaria and Kore Brown.
Without these two names, you would never Know Olawale Adigun
The key to unlocking the greatness of the Nigeria Premier League is TELEVISION!!! The Supersports coverage of the Super6 Playoffs has been refereshing. Now imagine having three/four games every weekend with a highlight package on Mondays. It's possible!!!
Sometimes greatness or legendary status is not about individual awards/Trophies. It could be emotional connection to fans, a clutch moment, and many more. Okocha is still a greater player than Osimhen for me
@PoojaMedia
and
@OgaNlaMedia
are blazing trails representing Nigerian sports journalists in Africa. They've shown that our industry also have Big Boys!!! Keep shooting for the Stars my Boys!!!
God bless Silverbird Television. This cartoon alongside Pinky and The Brain, I am Weasel, Cow and Chicken, Captain America, Justice League, SuperBook etc were legendary
In other news, yours truly has been nominated for the Nigeria Pitch Awards 2023. Hoping to win this gong for the 4th time!!! Good luck to my fellow nominees
Thanks to Shina Phillips and the Pitch Awards team!
Our greatest weapon is the 5 at the back without possession. Every team has struggled to break it down. Although we were fortunate with the Angolan chance that hit the post
October 1, 2010: I made my first appearance on radio, Top Sports on Top Radio with
@genakhena
and that signifies the beginning of my journalism journey.
@biolakazeem
introduced me to Mr. Godwin and I was 21 years and 11 months old.

Big shout-out to Hojlund, the Invisible striker....Bro has been low-key worse than Jackson this season....but they'll tell you he's pressing....Set awon Drycleaner
Man City will annihilate Arsenal at the Etihad on April 26. The Gunners just have to pray and hope that City mysteriously drop points...to be honest...ko feasible
The Onikan stadium is going to face a massive litmus test today. It remains uncompleted with a lack of a spacious parking space. A full house today means organizers have to be spot on with crowd management.
By the way, what the hell is still happening with the Agege Stadium?
I had the honour of granting
@CoachDan_Ijabal
his first ever interview on the Radio around 2013 and he's grown to become one of the finest football managers in Nigeria. So glad to link up with you again at the

@adelasejamiu
Please can we just leave Ghana out of this one today, at least G no dey inside South Africa and Amapiano...but I just remembered G dey inside "Johannesburg"...
We Feast!!!!
peeps who keep saying the bad pitch has been a major factor for Chukwueze underperforming with the SE are economical with the truth. At least there have been over 5 shitty games Samu has given with the SE on good pitches, even with Villarreal. He's just an inconsistent player.
Just because you watch Lazio Vs Atalanta doesn't make you a full fledged Calcio analyst. Osimhen has been the best player in the Serie A this season. Credit to Kvara, 12 goals and 10 assists is a fantastic return but Osimhen has been clutch all season.
Would be great if the NTA could secure the rights to the AFCON. It's expensive no doubt. But it'll be massive for it image.
Mr Salihu, NTA DG, try make that call to New World TV (owners of the rights) and see what happens....who knows???
