2027: APC National Secretary meets Adeleke [VIDEO]
Five Nigerian female footballers have officially completed moves to Turkish women’s football club Kayseri Kadın Futbol Kulübü, further strengthening the growing Nigerian presence at the club ahead of the new season.
Sports247 reports that the quintet comprises Judith Adaobi Okay, Precious Uju Obasi, Omosuyi Ayo, Mariam Abdulkadri and Roseline Ayatsea Hembafan, all of whom are set to begin a new chapter of their careers in Turkey.
Four of the players arrive from clubs in the Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL), while one joins from the Ghana Women’s Premier League, highlighting the growing pathway from West African women’s football to the Turkish top flight.
The players will compete in the Turkish Women’s Super League (Kadın Futbol Süper Ligi), Turkey’s highest level of women’s football, as they look to establish themselves in the Central Anatolian city of Kayseri.
The new arrivals are expected to bring additional quality, competition and experience to Kayseri’s squad, with the Nigerian players determined to make an immediate impact and contribute to the club’s ambitions during the campaign.
The latest transfers also represent a significant milestone for those facilitating the players’ moves.
Just last week, three other Nigerian female footballers completed transfers to Kayseri Kadın Futbol Kulübü. The latest five signings take the number of Nigerian players moved to the Turkish club to eight in less than two weeks.
The remarkable sequence of transfers underlines the increasing connection between Nigerian women’s football and the Turkish league, while providing more opportunities for young Nigerian players to gain international experience.
For the players, the move represents more than a change of club. It provides an opportunity to compete in a new football environment, experience European-style competition and further develop their careers on the international stage.
Kayseri will also benefit from the influx of Nigerian talent as the club seeks to build a competitive squad capable of achieving strong results in the Turkish Women’s Super League.
With eight Nigerian players now joining the club within a remarkably short period, Kayseri is quickly becoming an important destination for Nigerian female footballers seeking opportunities abroad.
The quintet will now turn their attention to settling into their new environment, adapting to the demands of Turkish football and helping their new club achieve its targets.
Birthdays are usually moments when we celebrate life, count our blessings and give thanks for another year. But for Ambassador Cletus Akhimien, who is the Executive Director COA Media, convener, Plateau Man of the Year Awards and founder Cletus Akhimien Foundation (CAF) his birthday was not just about celebrating himself — it was an opportunity to give back, put smiles on faces and express gratitude through an act of kindness.
With a heart full of gratitude to God for the gift of another year, Ambassador Cletus Akhimien chose to celebrate by sharing 1,000 loaves of bread to 1,000 people within the Tudun Wada community. 🍞❤️
What made the gesture particularly special was the fact that it cut across religious lines. Both Muslims and Christians were beneficiaries, coming together to receive not just a loaf of bread, but a message of love, inclusion, peaceful coexistence and community spirit.
In a society where differences can sometimes divide people, gestures like this remind us of the things that unite us — our humanity, our communities and our shared desire to see one another happy and cared for.
The sight of Muslims and Christians benefiting side by side from the gesture was a beautiful demonstration that kindness knows no religion. It was a simple but powerful message that we can celebrate together, support one another and make a difference regardless of our faith or background.
The initiative was also greatly supported by the Tudun Wada Youths Forum, through the entire Executive Committee. Their commitment, coordination and presence played an important role in ensuring that the outreach reached members of the community and was successfully carried out.
The support of the Tudun Wada youths is a reflection of the power of responsible youth leadership. When young people come together with a positive vision and a commitment to their community, they can help turn simple ideas into meaningful experiences that impact lives.
For the 1,000 beneficiaries, the gesture may have been as simple as receiving a loaf of bread, but the significance went much deeper.
