Excerpts...
How long have you been playing for COD United?
I have been playing at the club for more than three years now
Were the players being owed before they team got disbanded?
At all, the management did well in that aspect. We are not being owed at all.
Why did they disband the team?
We the players were all surprised when we heard that the management no longer wants us; you know COD United also have a male team. The reason they gave was that the church will not be able to finance the two teams any longer.
According to reports, they want to concentrate on building the church’s new auditorium and need several billions of naira to build it, and that was why we were told to go.

How can you rate the Nigerian female league....is there partiality as regards how the guys are being treated from the girls?
Nigerian Female League, uhmmm…… I must say there's a lot of partiality now because the male players are well respected than the ladies.
The guys are well treated and recognized; they are well paid but the reverse is the case for us ladies.
