Akwa United Coach Maikaba: How We’ll Conquer Africa After Aiteo Cup Win 4 October 16, 2017 9:46 am Akwa United Coach Maikaba: How We’ll Conquer Africa After Aiteo Cup Win By James Agberebi (photo by Ganiyu Yusuf): Akwa United coach Abdu Maikaba has expressed his happiness after guiding the Uyo-based team to win the 2017 Aiteo Cup trophy. Akwa United defeated Niger Tornadoes 3-2 on penalties after 90 minutes ended 0-0. The win means Akwa United have now won the Aiteo Cup for the second time after claiming their first trophy in 2015. “I am so excited winning the second trophy in three years. This is my first trophy with Akwa Un8ted and I am very happy,” Maikaba told Completesportsnigeria.com. “My first year, I finished fourth in the league and now I was able to win the Aiteo Cup. It is a good achievement for the team, and I hope we will continue from where we stopped next season.” Maikaba said Akwa will do everything possible to make sure they have a successful CAF Confederation Cup campaign. He said: “Going into the continent, we will make plans to make sure that our last campaign in the Confederation Cup doesn’t repeat itself. We understand the problems we had the last time we were on the continent and we will work on them. “For now we will take a breather, rest a little and resume work as soon as possible so that we can prepare very well for the CAF Confederation Cup.” He went on to give reasons why Nigerian clubs have been performing poorly in CAF competitions. He added:”The mistake most Nigerian clubs make on the continent is after winning a trophy or qualifying to represent Nigeria on the continent, they tend to change about 80 per cent of the team that qualified them. The issue of continuity is not there. Football is all about team play. If you wish to continue playing as a team, you need to give players time. “We will have some changes but not too much. We will fortify the team so that we will continue with our culture.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/akwa-united-coach-maikaba-well-conquer-africa-aiteo-cup-win/ 1 Like |

Clementoke:You are a mind reader cos that was the last thought that came to my mind before I posted it but you know that in this regard of 'all things being equal' in relation to the team I am thinking injuries. We were quite fortunate though before the Zambian match as all our players were in top shape. One week later na so so injury left, right, center. We are praying for that sort of good fortune for operation Vladimir too. 5 Likes |

BELGIUM: Jupiler League - Round 11 FULL-TIME EUPEN 4-1 MECHELEN Eupen currently defeat visiting KV Mechelen, with Jamabo George kept in their dugout all through. St. TRUIDEN 1-0 OOSTENDE Joseph Akpala hopped off from Oostende's bench in the 83rd minute with the hope of changing the stalemate situation. However, it was the home team that managed to get on the scoresheet just before the dot of regulation time. KORTRIJK 1-1 GENT Moses Simon and Anderson Esiti both started for the away team. It was the former who broke the deadlock on the 60th minute. Gent's third Nigerian later joined the fray in the 64th minute, contrary to my earlier report, only for Kortrijk who had Abduljaleel Ajagun on parade, to level 10 minutes later. Both sides settle for a point each. 1 Like |

We have suddenly become the toast of international football - Argentina is playing us in November, England wants to play us, Germany is in the offing. We turned down Morocco, Iran and Saudi Arabia for the more worthy albiceleste. I feel playing Argentina in a friendly is what will break the jinx of being grouped with them. It's really strange that we've always been grouped with Argentina since making our debut in 94. 3 Likes |

If nacho flops, he won't be the first to do so. So I don't get what's with the apprehension. That said, I believe he has what it takes to make it elsewhere. He also won't be the first or the last to get back up after flopping. I still wish him the best. I pray his agency borrow themselves senses to start shopping for another club. 1 Like |

Humility017: It's still a massive probability. I was born in the UK one day my Father said when I was 10, "Chei I'm finished this boy, my son don turn oyibo finish Oh !!! ". I was then stoned first class ticket into secondary boarding school in Warri. I had never heard Warri broken talk less of the general broken/ pidgin before. But that one act changed the trajectory of my life for EVER. To be honest I have never looked back, I thank God and my wonderful Father for that great decision. I was already playing football for my county at U12 age grade at 10. The point I'm making is that the location of birth can not be the basis for where you end up in life. It goes beyond football. Because of the fact that Awo was born in Nigeria in a particular area and grew up in that area that created and shaped who he would become. He then somehow liked football and developed his talent in the setting and cultural norms and practices of that neighbourhood area. That's what has defined him and made him who he is and the footballer he is in Nigeria. If he Awo was born in England he would not have developed the same way. He will not have the same mental resilience. Even if he got into an academy at age 5/6 there is no guarantee he would make or even be half the player he is. There are racist clubs in England that dont even know that thier cultural norms and traditions are inherently racist. If he ended up in one of those clubs he will not progress. And if you are black and British nuttin for you in this regard being British accounts for nothing. It is actually easier for a player who is foreign to get in because there is money to be made both under the table and on top of it. Than a local player who costs nothing and isn't linked in. Simply because football is corrupt. 1 Like |

Sincerely speaking why is it EPL or no other way for Ambrose?.. All these years he could have moved to France, Germany etc. It's gonna be hard to make a case for him when the likes of Awaziem are PERFORMING in Ligue 1. He needs to be notching assists scoring or AT MOST as a defender, helping in preventing Hibernian from conceding week in week out, for him to show he is still in reckoning, especially as he is not in the Champions League with Celtic. komekn: 1 Like |

Nigerian Exports: Ebuehi Assists; Simon & Awaziem Score; Uche On Fire; Aina Stars; Onazi Back Published: October 21, 2017 ![]() Catch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent in the European Leagues on Saturday. We start off in the Dutch Eredivisie. ADO Den Haag claimed a 2-0 win at VVV Venlo with two Nigerians in action. While Tyronne Ebuehi went the distance and provided the assist for his team's first goal, Arsenal loanee Kelechi Nwakali got only four minutes of game time. Across the border in Belgium, winger Moses Simon opened the scoring at the Guldensporenstadion after 60 minutes, but his team went on to draw 1-1 with Kortrijk. Abdul Ajagun and Simon were on parade for ninety minutes each for the respective teams, Anderson Esiti subbed out in the 84th minute and Samuel Kalu entered into the fray on 64 minutes. In the French Ligue 1, Nantes have climbed to third on the table thanks to their 2-1 win against Guingamp. Defender Chidozie Awaziem opened the scoring for the home team in the ninth minute and put in a full shift. On his return from injury, Eddy Onazi played for an hour as Trabzonspor were beaten 1-0 by Yeni Malatyaspor , who had Sincere Seth on the bench for the entirety of the game. Elsewhere, in the battle between the Chelsea loanees, Barnsley suffered a 1-0 loss to Hull City at Oakwell Stadium. Ike Ugbo started and was in action for 67 minutes for the home team, Hull City number 34 Ola Aina played the full game and his teammate Fikayo Tomiri was an unused substitute. Two divisions lower, Uche Ikpeazu scored his seventh goal of the season in all competitions as Cambridge United beat Chesterfield 2-1 at The Cambs Glass Stadium . The ex-Nigeria U23 invitee played the full game and netted the winner in the 78th minute. Simon Akinola clocked up 85 minutes in Barnet's 1-1 draw with Yeovil Town. He scored after six minutes for the Bees. Ifeanyi Emmanuel Photo Credit : twitter. com/ Aina2Ola Source : ANS 2 Likes |

Paul Onuachu Hits Milestone With 50th Goal For FC Midtjylland Published: October 21, 2017 ![]() Former Nigeria U23 invitee Paul Onuachu registered his name on the scoresheet in FC Midtjylland's 4-2 win over AC Horsens on game week thirteen in the Danish Superliga on Friday. In doing so, the lanky striker now boasts fifty goals for the Wolves since his debut in the 2012-2013 campaign. An analysis of Onuachu's goals revealed that he found the net 33 times in the Danish top-flight, bagged 8 goals in the Europa League and Europa League qualifiers, and tallied 9 goals in the DBU Landspokal. The FC Ebedei product has provided 14 assists in 127 matches, including 12 in the Super Liga. Onuachu's goalscoring figures are impressive as he surpassed Sylvester Igboun's tally of 47 goals in 164 matches over the same time period. 38 of Onuachu's 50 goals for FCM were scored over the course of the last two seasons.
