Falconets glorious in defeat, Germans make history

Germany vs Nigeria 2-0; Falconets show class and glory; Germans make history Nigeria's Falconets left Germany as the only African team to play in the finals of any FIFA Women's World Cup or the Olympics. Despite a 2-0 loss to the Germans in the tournament, the Falconets have made Nigeria proud and proved that President Goodluck Jonathan was ill-advised to withdraw Nigeria from FIFA events, a decision that was later rescinded. The promotion they earned Nigeria globally in terms of image was huge and they return to Nigeria as Africa's heroines. The Falconets were wonderfully spirited and never gave up, showing great class and glory in their play and style; and ultimately even in their defeat. The German home team could have made it easier for the capacity crowd in Bielefeld with a second goal before finally putting the issue beyond doubt in injury time. Germany now becomes the first host nation to lift the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup on own soil. ...

Nollywood: Monday's Girls (1993)

About the film, Creator: Lloyd Gardner and Ngozi Onwurah Monday's Girls explores the conflict between modern individualism and traditional communities in today's Africa through the eyes of two young Waikiriki women from the Niger delta. Although both come from leading families in the same large island town, Florence looks at the iria women's initiation ceremony as an honor, while Azikiwe, who has lived in the city for ten years, sees it as an indignity. Ngozi Onwurah, director of such feminist classics as Coffee Coloured Children and Body Beautiful, herself an Anglo-Nigerian, turns a wry but sympathetic eye on the cross-cultural confusions. The five week long iria ritual is overseen by post-menopausal women headed by the redoubtable Monday Moses (hence the title.) The girls are paraded bare-breasted before the entire community so their nipples can be examined to determine whether they are still virgins. They are then confined to the "fattening rooms," t...
