Flying Eagles Coach, Ladan Bosso has invited Joshua John of Ikon Allah Academy. The attacking midfielder who was part of the 15 players invited to the Flying Eagles camp, left no stone unturned immediately he joined the camp. Joshua John reminds me of attacking midfielders like Alexander Iwobi, Sunday Mba and others whose style of play always catch the attention of the fans. No doubt, Joshua John will really make a big statement if given the opportunity to prove himself. Recall that Ikon Allah Academy produced players like Chidera Ejuke who is a Super Eagles player, newly signed Nasarawa United player, Francis Ayuba who is currently in the camp of the Flying Eagles, and he scored two goals today in favour of his team.

It was a match that began with clear dominance from the Flying Eagles team as the newly signed Nasarawa United striker, Ayuba Francis and Abdulraman were constantly terrorising the defence line of Capital City FC as their menace paid off. Within the space of ten minutes, the first goal was scored via penalty. Ayuba Francis wasted no time in scoring the second goal after receiving a delightful pass from Alex Nwoya. Ayuba would have made it 3 goals in two minutes, but his shot was saved by Capital City FC goalkeeper. It could be recalled that Ayuba Francis began his football career with Iko Allah Boys in Kaduna, before he was loaned as at last season to FC one rocket in Uyo. His meteoric rise in football made Nasarawa United sign the pacy striker ahead of the new season. He is a player to watch out for in the NPFL and National team.  The match ended 5-0 in favour of the Flying Eagles. The Flying Eagles of Nigeria has succeeded to have scored 10 goals without conceeding any in two mat...

Flying Eagles Winger, Emmanuel Ekpenyong seems to be the revelation of the match against Paul E Sports.  The former Ottasolo winger, made a bold statement right from the commencement of the game, as he scored the second goal, when he chest the ball and sent a ferocious goal to the roof. What a world class goal, scored by Ekpenyong Emmanuel. Immediately after the goal, he continued to mesmerize the opponent from the flank, as he assisted the fourth goal that gave the Flying Eagles convincing victory, against Paul E Sports. The match ended 5 goals to Nil in favour of Flying Eagles of Nigeria.  Ekpenyong Emmanuel will be a player to watch out for in this Flying Eagles. A player who is fast, pacy, energetic and as well, a clinical finisher which he did in style in the match. Ekpenyong Emmanuel reminded me his exploits in a match against Abia Warriors in the Aiteo Cup, where he assisted Ottasolo by scoring the goal that sent Abia Warriors packing in the FA Cup, what a promising pla...
