Of course, I would love to see off the testimonial match first. It was to hold in November, now I don\u2019t know when next. I8 learnt the NFF wants some roles and is trying to fix a date will suit every party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt bad over what happened at the AWC in Equatorial Guinea. That\u2019s the only disappointment pve suffered in my career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps that\u2019s why many concerned persons want me to reconsider my stands to quit and hold on to a title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m being told the team still need my service. Of course, I want to quit in a big way, right now I don\u2019t know whether the fallout of the AWC in Equitorial Guinea met the scenario under which I want to quit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I have to take a firm decision soon whether I\u2019m holding on or quitting. I\u2019ll take that decision and make it know to the world, \u201cNkwocha said.<\/p>\n<p>The Sweden based Sunnana Sk hit-woman is holidaying at her country home in Owerri, Imo state and plans to return to her base in January.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Super Falcons striker, Perpetua Nkowocha regrets considering to quit the game following Nigeria\u2019s failure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","elegant-magazine-featured":"","elegant-magazine-medium":"","elegant-magazine-medium-small":"","elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":""},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=13\" rel=\"category\">Sports<\/a>","tag_info":"Sports","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3705"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3708,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705\/revisions\/3708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
