Why are they calling him Valentine if his name is James?

Rohr had been talking up the possibility of inviting one or two of the Flying Eagles to the Super Eagles camp in March. Ozornwafor gets the nod over his equally impressive Centreback partner (Igho Ogbu) because he's a left footed defender - an attribute that Rohr has been looking for in one of our Central defenders.

Successful tournament for the FE.


But this is own goal.

must be something in the water in norman, 1naija and kyler murray, ou alums, lying about their height.

[Obong]

As noted by the above congratulatory tweet of his parent club, Enyimba, he's more likely "Valentine Uzornwafor". I would love to see his International passport as to the validity of "James Ozornwafor". Maybe James is a middle name. As for the player's performance, he was massive all tournament.His Enyimba team-mate and team captain,Ikouwem Udo, showed consistency and class all through, and remarkably made the all-tournament team again after doing same at the WAFU version. Little wonder along with right back, Mike Zaruma, and solid central defender, Igor Ogbuh, Nigeria paraded the stingiest defence in the tournament, conceding just one goal in open play against Mali in the semi-final. While I advocate that the bunch be promoted to the u23 team, Rohr should also consider the other defenders. They were awesome. Can't wait to see how the unit perform at the u20 World cup.

MAYBE SO, BUT...


...it's a basic responsibility of the reporters to get names correct and that can be accomplished simply by asking the NFF or the players for their official names. The other thing that needs to change is the tendency to interchange first and surnames willy nilly.

You're right regarding the names interchange by players. A good example is the captain, Ikouwem. His first name is Ikouwem. I've however seen his full name listed either as Ikouwem Utin Udo or Ikouwem Udo Utin. He didn't help matters by having Ikouwem on the back of his jersey at the tournament. Right now, I can't figure out which is his last name- Utin or Udo?
