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
