Ayuba Francis Stole The Show For The Flying Eagles In A 5-0 Win Against Capital City
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 matches. What a way to start preparing for AFCON come next year.

RENISA congratulates Musa on retirement, describes him as embodiment of humility, perseverance
The President, National Executive Committee (NEC) and the entire members of the Association of Retired Sports Men and Women of Nigeria (RENISA) has congratulated former Super Eagles skipper, Ahmed Musa, who announced his retirement from the Super Eagles on Wednesday.
RENISA President, Sunday Adeleye, in a statement he personally signed on behalf of the Association, described the 2013 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) as an embodiment of humility, perseverance and determination who served Nigeria with all his heart and who also recorded major milestones with the three-time African champions.
Adeleye said, “On behalf of RENISA, I want to congratulate Ahmed Musa on retirement. He came, saw and conquered and he served Nigeria diligently. It is no mean feat to have been capped 111 times by Nigeria. It shows resilience, humility, perseverance and determination on the part of a world-class player who led well while he held sway as the skipper of the senior national football team and as a team player who rallied support for his teammates whenever they are on national assignment.
“It is a thing of joy that he joined the national team set up at such an early age and contributed greatly to the success of the team especially during the 2013 African Cup of Nations AFCON which was held in South Africa where the Super Eagles went all the way to life the trophy under the tutelage of the big boss himself, Coach Stephen Keshi, may God bless his (Keshi) soul, amen.”
The former Nigerian sprint star added, “And now that he has retired successfully, we want to warmly welcome him to RENISA and we believe that even in retirement, he will still continue to contribute his quota to the growth of sports in Nigeria. Musa has made the country proud and the Association is very proud of him and his legacies. We should also not forget that Musa is a philanthropist of note who has made lasting impacts on the lives of the less privileged and the downtrodden.”
“We want to congratulate him once again as we welcome him to RENISA’s fold.”
