Nigeria Women's Football League player Precious Onyiyechi is the latest acquisition by Tanzania women's side, Young Africans.

Onyinyechi joined the Tanzania powerhouse on Monday from Nasarawa Amazons for an unannounced fee.

'"Precious Onyinyechi Christopher has joined Tanzanian football powerhouse Young Africans Women Team (Yanga). She was previously on the books of Nigeria Women Football League side Nassarawa Amazons FC" The Nigeria women's football club announced via a tweet.

The Yanga Princess had brought in a couple of Nigerians into their ranks some days ago after signing Chioma Wogu, Blessing Nkor and Saiki Mary Atinuke.

Former Minsk FK, Chioma Wohu joined from Edo Queens FC while Blessing Nkor moved from Sunshine Queens.

The club is gradually becoming the new home of Nigerian players, making the new Serengeti Lite Women League one to relish.

Matches in the Glo Nigeria Premier Football League will resume on Wednesday, October 28th, 2015 after all games where rescheduled due to Nigeria's CHAN 2nd leg qualifier away at Burkina Faso.

The home based Super Eagles could only manage a goalless draw in Ouagadougou but ultimately qualified on 2-0 on aggregate.

Attention however returns to the NPFL in midweek as Match Day 35 games are played across the country as the league runs to a close.

It's one of the closely fought title races in a decade as four teams are still in the mix with just four games to go.

There are just 5 points separating the top four teams of Enyimba, Warri Wolves, Wikki Tourists, and Giwa FC.

Defending champions Kano Pillars are resigned to losing their crown after their indifferent campaign that saw them surrender a 12-year record without a loss at home. They currently occupy the 9th position, 4 points adrift of a continental place.

Enyimba are the pundits' favourites however, after only losing a mere 6 matches all season. They next travel to Ilorin to square up against relegation-threatened Kwara United.

The Harmony Warriors are not the only struggling side though with none of Akwa United, El-Kanemi Warriors, Lobi Stars, Bayelsa United and Dolphins of Port Harcourt having recorded an away win so far. The latter duo are currently stuck in relegation waters. They are joined in the bottom four by FC Taraba.

Nigerian striker Shola Ameobi has agreed a short-term deal with English Championship side Bolton Wanderers.

The ex-England Under-21 international who has been a free agent had impressed on his trial at the club.

The 34-year-old has spent the majority of his career at Newcastle after progressing through their academy and spent time on loan at Stoke in 2008.

After leaving the Magpies he moved to Turkish side Gaziantep BB and spent the final six months of last season at Crystal Palace.

He scored 11 goals in 21 games during Newcastle United's season in the Championship in 2009-10.

Ameobi, who has 10 Nigeria caps and had a short trial with Wolves in September, joins a Bolton side currently bottom of the table with just one win in all competitions so far this season.

Though they have already sailed through to the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015, Golden Eaglets have predicted a tough match between Nigeria and Croatia at the Estadio Francisco Sanchez Rumoroso in

Coquimbo.

As recent as September 6, Croatia beat Nigeria 3-2 in an acrimonious encounter at the 2015 Suwon U-17 Invitational Tournament in Korea but the Golden Eaglets reckoned it would be pay back time on Friday.

"We were unlucky against Croatia in Suwon because we were leading them 2-1 until few minutes to the end of the match," recalled defender John Lazarus."They got a penalty to equalize and the winning goal later and that stopped us from winning the tournament.

"We won't allow that to happen against uson Fridayand we will work harder to win," added the diminutive defender who was in the U-13 National Team that won the London International Youth Tournament in 2010.

The two matches in Group A would be played simultaneously on Friday at 12:00 midnight Nigerian time (8:00pm local Chilean time) with the three other teams needing a win to have a realistic chance of

progressing to the Round of 16 along with Nigeria.

Former Nigeria international Nwankwo Kanu has congratulated the Golden Eaglets for qualifying for the knockout stages of the FIFA Under 17 World Cup, but has urged the defending champions not to take their feet off the pedal in subsequent games.

The Emmanuel Amuneke – led team continued with their attacking brand of football on Wednesday morning, making light work of Chile to advance to the last 16 with a game to spare.

“Congratulations to our dear Eaglets, we are proud of you all. Congrats Amunike and your coaching crew, keep flying and remain focused to the end, ” Nwankwo Kanu said on Twitter.

The former Arsenal, Inter Milan and Ajax Amsterdam striker starred for the Golden Eaglets at the 1993 edition of the FIFA U-17s.

During the tournament held in Japan, Kanu bagged a hat – trick against Canada before netting a goal each in the Group B fixtures against Argentina and Australia.

New captain of the Super Eagles, Ahmed Musa, is convinced that either him or the team’s former skipper, Vincent Enyeama, can win this year’s CAF African Footballer of the Year award.

Musa and Enyeama are the only two Nigerian footballers that made the 37-man shortlist for the prize.

“I believe either myself or Vincent Enyeama can win the award this time around. We deserve the nomination and I think we are good enough to win it for Nigeria,” Musa told AfricanFootball.com

“I am happy to be nominated for the African Footballer of the Year award again. It’s a good thing when one gets such recognition because Africa is blessed with lots of good players.”

It is the third straight year Ahmed Musa has been nominated for the award.

The last Nigerian to win the award was Nwankwo Kanu in 1999.

Seattle Sounders forward and Nigerian striker, Obafemi Martins, is on course to be recalled to the Super Eagles for next month's 2018 preliminary World Cup qualifier against Djibouti or Swaziland two years after he last featured for the national team, according to reports.

Martins, who has been in blistering form for his Major League Soccer (MLS) side in the USA, is being seen as a catalyst that could offer stiff competition to Odion Ighalo and Emmanuel Emenike, who are both expected to be included in coach Sunday Oliseh's squad for the November tie, a top source in the NFF revealed.

According to the source, the Eagles attack has not impressed the head coach by scoring 5 goals in 4 games.

And despite preferring Ighalo to Emenike, Oliseh needs a good option with wealth of national team experience to rival the Watford star who has scored 5 goals in eight EPL games for the Hornets, the source says.

"Obviously, Martins is an option we are considering in attack and he could make a return to the team but the coach has the final say on that," the highly-placed source told Completesportsnigeria.com.

"Emenike has not showed the handlers he could be relied on in the games he has played."

"The coach wants his forwards to be aggressive and press high up but that has not been the case."

The former Inter Milan star has scored 14 MLS goals in 19 appearances for Sounders who sit fifth on the Western Conference log.

Martin reportedly called it quit with the Super Eagles last year, but the report has since been denied by his representatives who insist the former Levante star was quoted out of context.

Nigeria has a tough road ahead as it continues rebuilding the national team but the team must move forward according to head Coach Sunday Oliseh.

The former International lost his first official game in charge of the team in a 2-0 defeat to DR Congo, yet Oliseh says he was impressed with the individual performances of Mikel Obi and Shehu Abdullahi.

Oliseh revealed that he had to make do with a makeshift defense because of the last minute absence of preferred choices.

William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun played in Center back positions – though both are side backs- and defensive errors saw the new coach suffer his first defeat after 4 matches.

” We have to move on now, we have qualifiers, there are millions of Nigerians who are looking up to us to get this team through these times. But I must say that its been hectic. The way forward now is that we keep going on strong.

” Even though we lost yesterday, there were positives, I saw a very good John Obi Mikel and an impressive Shehu Abdullahi. We suffered because just before we started the camping, Godfrey Oboabona had visa issues,and other issues so we had no players in our defense. ”

” We had to make shift, using right backs in the center. But even though we dominated the game the errors came from there but let’s not blame the boys.”
