[00:09:30] that sport athletes to go all out um for the nation, let's
[00:09:34] talk about camping, more often than not when it comes to big
[00:09:38] performances like this, global performances, there have always been
[00:09:41] complaints. time past about inadequate you know um
[00:09:45] training camp and what have you, this time around there was a two weeks
[00:09:49] camping in Nigeria before the three weeks camping in
[00:09:53] Abidin, how important, how impactful was that
[00:09:57] training camp, especially the one in abadin to ensure that you all had
[00:10:00] success at the games, it was very big
[00:10:04] impact in our lives as athlete because it has never happened,
[00:10:08] it has been long, it has never happened, if you see bramian.
[00:10:12] 2020 it was only we spend only uh 12 days
[00:10:15] and you can see the performance, but this one we
[00:10:19] spend almost a month plus going
[00:10:21] to two months income, two weeks here in Nigerian, the weeks in
[00:10:25] Abad in as you can see, you will see the improvement, there is a big improvement.
[00:10:29] I want to thank, I want to thank the National Sport
[00:10:32] Commission for the equipment, because when we get to Abadin, all the
[00:10:36] equipment there are very perfect, very, very good one, so we love it,
[00:10:40] so even seeing that equipment gave us very
[00:10:43] big, it gave us very big head to go
[00:10:47] and perform. Okay, so thank, thank
[00:10:51] you national sports commission, okay, let's talk about the athlete welfare.
[00:10:55] because you mentioned that you know about the prize um you
[00:10:58] know the bonuses that were attached to each um
[00:11:02] medalist from the gold um to the silver and the bronze
[00:11:06] um was that just the drive or there was also a personal goal
[00:11:10] you know that athletes um set out to achieve in terms of
[00:11:14] personal best in terms of games record in terms of world records what
[00:11:18] was that motivating factor not just for you but for other athletes
[00:11:22] asides the welfare package
[00:11:24] as i said earlier, i said something earlier, i said uh, as
[00:11:28] athlete you have been training for years, for two years, three years,
[00:11:32] coming out for the common word games and uh
[00:11:35] the uh the national sports
[00:11:38] commission malonche udiko and the dg coming
[00:11:42] out to say if you give me gold this is
[00:11:44] what i will give you, if you give me silver this is what i give, is a big
[00:11:47] motivation, so only that motivation alone and the
[00:11:51] welfare was very okay, so it motivates the at to
[00:11:55] go there and say uh, since they can do this, let me go there and perform,
[00:11:59] like I said, it's just like training a child to go to
[00:12:02] school, when it's time for him to write exam, you you wait for him to bring a
[00:12:06] good result, so that is what they did, and thank god we gave them good
[00:12:10] results, okay, let's talk about you personally
[00:12:13] now, be, aside being team Nigeria's captain to the games, you
[00:12:17] were one of those, you know, medal hopefuls for the Nigerian
[00:12:21] consents having dominated your sports and also
[00:12:25] several records over the years, it was very
[00:12:28] successful outing for you, you won the gold medal, you also had the
[00:12:32] world record broken, how impressed were you by your performance
[00:12:36] and how do you think you build on this for future
[00:12:39] performances? well, i will
[00:12:43] said uh, you see firstly, if you have passion for a
[00:12:46] game, you will go all out for it, the passion i have for
[00:12:50] my game, the love and the resilience, that is what make
[00:12:54] me to... go there win the gold and i break the world record
[00:12:58] there so i thank i thank god for that because uh
[00:13:02] i was trying he's not easy common game in power lifting is body
[00:13:06] weight uh we deal on body
[00:13:08] weight so you will go three times your body
[00:13:12] weight before you can be able to win your gold if
[00:13:16] you check my category you will find out that we have those that are big there
[00:13:19] small so it is on body weight so what you push there
[00:13:23] they will use it and calculate your body with, so I just thank God, it was
[00:13:27] a great performance. Okay, let's
[00:13:31] talk about your children, because um, during the common world games, when you won the
[00:13:35] gold medal, you talked about your children being a huge factor for
[00:13:39] you, um, how decisive were they in terms of
[00:13:42] inspiring you and motivating you to go all the way, not just to cleanch the
[00:13:46] gold medal, but also smash the world
[00:13:48] record, well let me let me give you an example,
[00:13:52] like uh,

[00:16:57] Away from the common world games now let's our attention to the very best of football and it's all
[00:17:01] about the women's africa cup of nations where Nigeria
[00:17:05] definitely is the dominant figure. when it comes to continental
[00:17:08] women's football 10 time champions going in for record extending
[00:17:12] 11th and certainly all hopes will be resting on the match
[00:17:16] later tonight we'll get to that a bit let's talk about the action we saw last
[00:17:20] night as South Africa secured the hardf 1-0
[00:17:23] victory over Burkina Faso at the Moole Rashid Stadium
[00:17:27] in Casablanca to cleanch a sports in the women's africa cup of nations cut
[00:17:31] of finals um definitely you had South Africa entering that final
[00:17:35] group B match under immense. pressure as they had to deal
[00:17:39] with so much following a shock 2-1 opening defeat against
[00:17:43] Tanzania not forgetting the four goal still meet against
[00:17:47] um ivory coast we'll leave your highlights of that and when we get back we'll be talking
[00:17:50] more about the super
[00:17:51] falcons
[00:20:21] talking about the women's africa cup of nations and the super falcons of Nigeria
[00:20:25] will take on the Cleopatras of Egypt in that critical final group C match while
[00:20:28] Malawi and Zambia will slugged out a high sticks encounter, it must
[00:20:32] be said for the southern African derby to see who progresses
[00:20:36] through.
[00:20:43] champions, Nigeria Super Falcons will take on Egypt in the final
[00:20:47] group C fixture the 2026 Women. Africa cup of nations
[00:20:51] tonight and the highly enspated continental clash is shadow to take place at the
[00:20:55] state Olympic de Rabat in Morocco. Nigeria bounces into
[00:20:59] this match needing a comprehensive victory to guarantee automatic
[00:21:02] progression into the quarterfinals as well as skip their 227
[00:21:06] FIFA Women's World Cup qualification hopes alive. Following an
[00:21:10] opening 3-2 shock defeat to Malawi along strike from seasal
[00:21:14] shoala secured the vital 1-il win over Zambia to
[00:21:17] place Nigeria second in the group with three points. Meanwhile, Egypt occupies the
[00:21:21] bottom of group C with zero points after being eliminated via successive
[00:21:25] defeats, including six-nail Thrasion by Zambia. A win
[00:21:29] secures the sports in the top two of group C, while if Zambia defeats
[00:21:33] Malawi in the simultaneous fixture a three-way tie at six points,
[00:21:37] will force carf to determine the advanced teams fire head-to-head
[00:21:41] records. This is how group C looks ahead of tonight's decider.

[00:21:56] b tide on three points each, while Egypt occupies the bottom spot
[00:22:00] with no points and have been mathematically
[00:22:03] eliminated.
[00:22:09] on the other side the break, we definitely be speaking someone who understands women's
[00:22:13] football inside out. TBC Sports
[00:22:16] desk.
[00:22:20] Thank you very much for staying with us, now joining us live on the show is football
[00:22:24] commentator chidi Izyani. chid, good evening, it's good to have you
[00:22:28] on the show, hi, thank you very much, thank you for
[00:22:32] having me, thank you so much, it's all about the super falcons that made
[00:22:35] Nigeria proud over the decades, it must be said, 10 time
[00:22:39] continental champions in record, um, extending performance we
[00:22:43] saw from them at the last tournaments and this time around they
[00:22:47] definitely have what it takes to make it through to the next
[00:22:50] round after that shock the free to Malawi. what are your expectations
[00:22:54] for tonight's game in terms of an overview before dove into the
[00:22:58] nuances? well, first of all, this is the
[00:23:02] first time uh we're having permitations in over
[00:23:05] 10 competitions about the super falcons and for me it's a little
[00:23:09] bit um worrying because we've never had to do this, we've always
[00:23:13] skill through the group stages, but if there's anything we can take away from
[00:23:17] that victory against Zambia is that the super falcons are still the
[00:23:21] queens of africa because um going
[00:23:25] a player down
[00:23:26] and still holding out uh a very very fantastic uh
[00:23:30] display by the girls um was really good my
[00:23:33] expectations the super falcons they already know um
[00:23:37] what the mathematics is um so the best they can do right now
[00:23:41] is go out there today um score as many
[00:23:45] goals as possible we have to be very clinical compact at the
[00:23:49] back as usual and the midfield has to um
[00:23:52] contribute more um towards um goal efforts
[00:23:56] because I felt that was part the problems in the first game uh
[00:24:00] yes we had few errors in defending here and
[00:24:03] therefore some the goals we conceded but I believe we have
[00:24:06] the team uh that can go out there and and score
[00:24:10] goals we need to score goals we need to remove ourselves
[00:24:14] um from any calculations uh at the
[00:24:18] moment we have a a zero um goal
[00:24:22] difference uh, which means that we need to make sure that
[00:24:26] we get more than every other person in the group, because if it
[00:24:30] comes down to the uh the head to head
[00:24:33] where below malawi on the head to head about be on the head to
[00:24:37] head, so the the main thing for the super falcons today is to
[00:24:41] ensure that we uh score as many goals as possible to put ourselves
[00:24:45] in the best position to to go ahead in this competition.
[00:24:48] okay, delve beat into the team and what the tactical
[00:24:52] setup may be, well that the super falcons will be missing to key players
[00:24:56] o got red card in last game, you have
[00:25:00] it as well who will be missing this due to suspension, yellow card
[00:25:04] accumulation, how does this affect the team's balance and who do
[00:25:08] you think madugu should field to replace these stairs to ensure that
[00:25:12] the team doesn't miss them that much?
[00:25:16] um, i believe the super falcons um have we saw
[00:25:20] in the game against Zambia, Uchebe stepped into that defensive
[00:25:23] roll and had fantastic game, I think she had better
[00:25:27] handle on on Barbara Banda uh who
[00:25:31] was really really who had the the the shirt the shirt
[00:25:34] number of them so I believe Uchebe
[00:25:38] can comfortably step into that role uh we also
[00:25:41] saw I believe um coming to player right back
[00:25:45] and she was she was very good in that position so I believe um
[00:25:50] the the defensive situation is settled uh, the coach will now have to look
[00:25:54] at his midfielders and see who would
[00:25:58] be that creative drive, um, maybe
[00:26:02] see
[00:26:02] a situation, where uh Ajibade drops into the attacking role in
[00:26:06] the midfield and he plays two strikers because like I said this
[00:26:09] game is very important to us and we need
[00:26:13] we need to score a lot of goals Aziza toshoala despite
[00:26:17] the numerous calls
[00:26:19] you know nigerians like to panic for no reason uh that
[00:26:23] she's old she needs to retire she's proven over and over again that she is
[00:26:26] what what she says she is she's a very good player still relevant
[00:26:30] to the team and this is another game where we will need her,
[00:26:34] so the coach will have to find um a striker to pair her
[00:26:38] with, um uh kalau would have to improve
[00:26:42] on her um game and also help this team
[00:26:45] score so um in the midfield row the coach will have to look at what he
[00:26:49] has uh which other winger can we bring in to
[00:26:53] afford us to have a jibade go into that attacking
[00:26:57] midfield row because i believe her playing there gives us added
[00:27:00] advantage of scoring um extra goals in this
[00:27:04] game. okay, let's talk about sisal shala whom you
[00:27:08] mentioned, i know quite well after the first game where you know she had to come off the bench,
[00:27:12] the where it talks about starting her and you know having experience counts
[00:27:16] and the team the coach listen to those cris and she got the
[00:27:20] goal early on, she made quite a handful of decent runs it must be said behind
[00:27:24] the defense line against Zambia and but there were you know
[00:27:27] chances that we're missed as well um do you think it's all about starting
[00:27:31] her and banking on? experience or she could come off the bench, maybe
[00:27:35] we should go for peace this time around, because the Egyptian difference, as it
[00:27:39] seems, it looks like it's quite vulnerable and likes of aajibade as you've
[00:27:42] mentioned can just really have a go at
[00:27:44] it, um, you don't, you don't rest
[00:27:48] your your your fastest horse for the second round, you have to
[00:27:52] play aziza Toshuala from the start, um, nine minutes
[00:27:56] into the game is against Zambia, she run past three
[00:27:59] players uh to score that loan goal that won us the
[00:28:03] competition uh the the game and I believe that it's
[00:28:07] very important that Rashida um that Oshuala starts this
[00:28:10] game uh she her presence alone would
[00:28:14] attract defenders uh to her, it makes sure that
[00:28:18] um she will create spaces for other players to come in and play, it's
[00:28:22] quite unfortunate that it jide will not be
[00:28:26] playing today because she's she usually capitalizes on those runs
[00:28:29] from Ashwala to play - That's
[00:28:32] why um Captain Ajibad would I would recommend her to
[00:28:36] step into that role uh because it would give us another
[00:28:40] advantage to have someone to capitalize on that definitely start
[00:28:42] osuala is our best striker still and
[00:28:46] we have to start our best legs we have to start our best
[00:28:50] legs let me get your thoughts concerning the issue of playing certain
[00:28:54] players out out of position again the beauty about you know
[00:28:57] football especially from the fans is there's always a talking point
[00:29:01] and we saw with social space debates about Madugo playing certain
[00:29:05] players out of position, there was aloze mentioned even from the first
[00:29:09] game esturanko as well was mentioned in there, do you
[00:29:13] think it's all about experimenting against side that is deemed
[00:29:17] um a weaker opponent as against Zambia and Malawi or you think
[00:29:21] it will still retain faith in terms of playing you know the
[00:29:24] players how he played them over the past two
[00:29:26] games um i don't i don't necessarily
[00:29:30] think the the coach has been ex experimenting quote uh so to
[00:29:34] say, i think he has been trying to play the players
[00:29:38] he trusts in those positions, um, but we are
[00:29:42] a situation where a win is not
[00:29:46] just enough,
[00:29:47] we have to win and win well uh, which means that the coach would
[00:29:51] have to look at his squad and and see what is possible,
[00:29:54] like i mentioned in the right back position, alos was moved to the right back
[00:29:58] position um um we we had an opportunity
[00:30:02] to see oladico play and she was good, so I think any
[00:30:06] any manager would
[00:30:08] a news, wherever the big
[00:30:12] news stories happening, we're get up to break it,
[00:30:16] tv news first with
[00:30:18] Britain.
[00:30:45] On TVC Breakfast this morning, the federal government
[00:30:49] opens the conversation on state police, seeking public
[00:30:52] views to help shape its operational
[00:30:55] framework.
