Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has teased an upcoming podcast episode featuring former Super Eagles striker Peter Osaze Odemwingie, promising an insight into his decade-long experiences with the Nigeria Football Federation and other chapters of his career.
The episode, which is the 14th instalment of the podcast, is being promoted with the title, “The NFF. The Feuds. The Silence.” A promotional poster shared on social media states that the episode will soon be available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Ajibade described Odemwingie’s story as one that took 10 years to unfold, highlighting his achievements for both club and country.
“Some stories take years to tell. This one took ten,” Ajibade wrote, pointing to Odemwingie’s 65 appearances for the Super Eagles and his 38 Premier League goals.
The former striker also went on to pursue a career in golf, qualifying as a PGA Professional after his football career.
Ajibade suggested that the upcoming conversation would explore Odemwingie’s experiences with the NFF, including disputes and periods of silence that marked parts of his international career.
The promotional material indicates that the episode will provide Odemwingie with an opportunity to discuss those experiences from his own perspective, although the specific details of the conversation have not yet been made public.
Odemwingie enjoyed a distinguished playing career, representing Nigeria at major international tournaments and featuring for clubs including West Bromwich Albion, Cardiff City and Stoke City in the Premier League.
The podcast comes as discussions surrounding the administration of Nigerian football continue to attract attention, with the NFF having faced criticism over various issues involving national teams, players, coaches and football administration over the years.
Meanwhile, Ajibade was recently in action for Paris Saint-Germain Women alongside fellow Super Falcons star Jennifer Echegini in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
PSG fought back to secure a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid Women at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium on Tuesday.
The French side will return to Champions League action on October 1 when they host Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
