Ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Excluded from Royals' Easter Gathering After Attending Last Year Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were notably absent from this year’s royal Easter gathering, just a year after joining the family for the same tradition. King Charles led senior members of the royal family to the Easter Mattins service on Sunday, April 5, at St George’s Chapel within Windsor Castle. The annual outing, a long-standing royal custom, saw family members arrive for the church service, but Andrew and Ferguson were nowhere to be seen. Their absence comes as both have largely remained out of the public eye in recent months, with renewed scrutiny surrounding past controversies. Andrew first stepped back from public duties in 2019 following his widely discussed BBC interview about his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Despite withdrawing from official royal work at the time, he had continued to appear at certain family events, including holiday church services and major cere...

AFCON 2024: Benched Players Making The Super Eagles’ Team, Says Ex-International

***

Former Nigerian international, Bright Omokaro, says representing Nigeria in the Africa Nation’s Cup (AFCON) has now become an all comers’ affair, where benched players in their foreign clubs are making the Super Eagles team.


He said this was unlike his playing days in the 1970’s, when it was tough to dorn the Nigerian jersey.


Mr Omokaro said this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday, when asked to assess the Super Eagles level of preparedness ahead of Saturday’s Côte D’Ivoire tournament.


NAN reports that the tournament is scheduled to last till February 11.


“It is sad that we have a handful of players who are not first choice players in their respective teams, and they are representing Nigeria at the Nations Cup; this is very unfortunate.


“The easiest way to get into the Super Eagles these days is to just play for any foreign club, it could be a third tier division, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re regarded as a foreign player.


“In my days the likes of John Fasanu know they have to go through the extra mile and work extra hard to get into the Super Eagles squad.


“If you dorn the Nigerian jersey, you have obviously proven yourself to be worthy,” he said.


Mr Omokaro, a dreadful defender in his playing days, said the exclusion of home based players was disturbing.


“I thought we’ve gotten past this. I don’t know if it’s possible for it to be law in Nigeria that every team should have at least 40 per cent of home based players.


“By so doing, we’re consciously developing our football. I know times have changed but if it worked for our football then, we should consider it,” he said.


Super Eagles, three-time champions of the tournament: 1980, 1994, and 2013, hope to win the trophy for the fourth time when the tournament kicks off on Saturday.
