Flamingos Of Nigeria Make History, Defeat Japan To Win U-17 Women’s World Cup

Nigeria’s Flamingos were Saturday night crowned as the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup champions in Morocco. The Nigerian female footballers defeated Japan 2-1 in a thrilling final match played at the Stade de Marrakech, securing the country’s first-ever title in the history of the competition. It is a monumental achievement for Nigerian football, as the Flamingos have now become the first African team to win the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup since its inception in 2008. Nigeria had a fairytale run to the final, overcoming such formidable opponents as Brazil in the semi-finals to set up the clash against the Japanese side. Both teams started the game with high intensity, but it was the Flamingos who broke the deadlock in the first half. A well-orchestrated attack saw forward Awawu Bashiru calmly slot the ball into the net in the 39th minute to put Nigeria ahead. The Flamingos struck early in the second half to solidify their advantage. In the 47th minute, Oluebube Umejiaku fired home a brilliant finish to double Nigeria’s lead and put the team firmly in control of the contest. Japan managed to pull one back in the 79th minute to reduce the deficit, but the goal proved to be a mere consolation as the Nigerian defense held firm until the final whistle.

He served as a team manager, including at Vasco da Gama in Enugu. He eventually moved into radio broadcasting, working as a sports commentator alongside his other pursuits.

Outage! Entertainers Complain As Kate Henshaw Knocks Power Minister…Spyro Narrates Experience @ Electricity Distribution Office

Kate Henshaw. (R) and Joseph Tegbe, Power Minister. Entertainers in Nigeria have called out the authorities over the constant power outage across the country which has become an unsettling source of frustration among Nigerians including actress, Kate Henshaw, singer, Spyro and content creator, Cute Abiola who have cried out over the situation. In a post on her Instagram page, Henshaw confronted Joseph Tegbe, the Minister of Power over the poor electricity supply, demanding the government’s explanation for the persistent outages. Protested she: “Come on, Mr. Minister of Power. No light. There’s no light. There’s hardly been any electricity. You people bring it for maybe five minutes, and then it’s gone. “You were credited with a statement that, in September, some people were telling you that you should turn off the power because the things in their freezers were freezing. What’s a freezer for? For cooling and watering down? It’s like the lies you people tell”. The actress demanded the names and phone numbers of those who allegedly contacted the Minister to complain about excessive electricity supply and asked him to reduce it. She questioned why Nigerians still struggled with unreliable electricity in 2026. Henshaw also criticised electricity distribution companies for issuing bills despite the poor supply. She questioned how billions and trillions of Naira could go into the power sector without a corresponding improvement in electricity supply. The actress recalled how the Minister’s predecessor increased electricity tariffs before leaving office, but Nigerians still struggled with power outages. She argued that although the current Minister had not increased tariffs, the persistent lack of electricity remained unacceptable. She further expressed frustration with the government’s explanations, saying she had deliberately stayed away from commenting on national issues throughout the year because of the emotional toll of the country’s challenges. Henshaw questioned what officials were doing to address the situation and said Nigerians deserved better after years of enduring unreliable electricity. She also called on God to judge those responsible and joked that Nigerians deserved special treatment in heaven after the difficulties they would have experienced in the country. Aside Henshaw, other entertainers also expressed frustration over the situation. Singer, Spyro, also recounted a shocking experience at an electricity distribution company office after he visited to complain about poor supply. The singer said he went to the EKDC office out of frustration to demand an explanation for the lack of electricity despite paying for Band A service. However, he was surprised to discover that the company’s employees also struggled with poor electricity supply. Stated he: “I went to EKDC office out of frustration to find out why I pay for band A and yet zero electricity, and on getting there, I got moved by compassion as the workers were literally fanning themselves, no electricity and the lady who attended to me said, ‘my neighbours shame me for working here yet I have no light'” The singer’s account highlighted the extent of the problem, as even employees of the electricity distribution company appeared to experience the same unreliable supply as customers who visited to lodge complaints. On his part, Cute Abiola also took to Instagram to express his frustration. In a video, the content creator appeared visibly uncomfortable as he sweated profusely, appealing to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to find a solution to the country’s electricity problems. Abiola also revealed that his solar power alternative had failed to provide the relief he needed, adding to his frustration over the persistent outages.
