Storm brews in Falcons camp as Alozie hints at NFF scanda

The Nigerian women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, may be on the brink of a fresh controversy, as key player Michelle Alozie has hinted at a major revelation involving the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Alozie took to her Facebook page in a cryptic but telling post that suggests discontent among players, and the possibility of an impending exposé by fellow star Ashleigh Plumptre.

In her post, Alozie wrote:

> “What Ashleigh Plumptre is about to expose about the NFF… many of us representing this Nation have in one way or the other been a victim… The internet will break if she finally opens up… and also this may be the last time I and many others will represent Nigeria.”

The statement has sent ripples across the Nigerian football community, raising serious concerns about player welfare, treatment, and behind-the-scenes dealings within the federation.

Although Plumptre has yet to publicly confirm or detail her grievances, Facebook’s AI-generated summary suggests she may be preparing to shed light on “misconduct, mistreatment, or injustice” at the hands of the NFF—issues that she and possibly other players may have endured while serving the national team.

Ashleigh Plumptre, a key figure in the Falcons’ defense and a fan favorite since switching allegiance from England to Nigeria, has been noticeably absent from recent call-ups to the national team.

Her exclusion has puzzled fans and analysts, especially given her solid performances in past tournaments.

Alozie’s statement implies that Plumptre’s silence may soon be broken, potentially revealing systemic issues within the NFF.

Her words also suggest that a number of players—possibly including herself—are reconsidering their future with the national team.

This isn’t the first time the NFF has come under scrutiny for alleged mistreatment of its female footballers.

Issues ranging from unpaid bonuses, poor camp conditions, to lack of medical and psychological support have been repeatedly raised by current and former Super Falcons players.

If Plumptre indeed speaks out, it could mark a pivotal moment in the long-standing struggle between the NFF and its athletes, echoing similar global movements where players have called for transparency, fairness, and respect.

As Nigerians await further developments, the silence from the NFF is deafening. No official statement has been released in response to Alozie’s post, nor has there been any clarification on Plumptre’s continued absence from the squad.

With murmurs of discontent growing louder, the ball is now in the federation’s court.

Will they address these rumblings with transparency and reform—or will this be yet another missed opportunity to rebuild trust with the women who proudly wear the green and white.
