Responding to Fever Pitch’ questions via social media, Dike said her famous sister is at school at the moment and is anticipating the senior World Cup in June.
“It’s a non-issue that is in the past now, Courtney is concentrating on her studies and will be proud to represent Nigeria at the World Cup in June” she said
The versatile midfielder will be expected to link up with falconets team mate and presently the biggest female player on the continent, Asisat Oshoala, who enjoyed a productive partnership with Dike during the U20 Mundial last year in Canada.
Apart from Stephen Keshi’s return as the Super Eagles manager and the official inauguration of the Akwa Ibom international stadium, the most discussed sporting issue in recent times was Dike’s turning down her N1.2 million bonus for the part she played in Nigeria U20 Women achievement at the World Cup in Canada.
Many hailed Dike for putting country above personal gains and for being the first in history to refuse collecting the traditional bonuses doled out after every sporting feat, while, some were skeptical about the whole situation, sensing there was more to the story than what Dike’s family and the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, were telling the public.
She is expected to be among the hosts of players that would represent the country at the next FIFA Women World Cup in Canada, come June this year.
