Flying Eagles captain Daniel Bameyi has signed a three-year contract with Slovenian club ND Primorje Ajdovลกฤina after leaving Abujaโs Yum-Yum FC .
The 19 year old defenderโs switch was confirmed by the club, with officials praising both his talent and leadership qualities. ND Primorje president Bojan Adลพiฤ said: โWe believe Bameyiโs work ethic and professionalism will bring a positive turnaround to our club. His defensive skills are exactly what we need as we push for a stronger league campaign.โ
Head coach Milan Anฤelkoviฤ also backed the signing, noting: โBameyi is a critical piece of the clubโs defensive rebuild. We expect him to stabilise the back line and compete at the top level this season.โ
Editorial
We are encouraged by Daniel Bameyiโs move to Slovenia, for it represents the kind of transition Nigerian youth football desperately needs. Too often, talented players struggle to bridge the gap between local exposure and sustained professional careers abroad. Bameyiโs transfer signals that such a path remains open and attainable.

We recognise that ND Primorje are not one of Europeโs giants, yet we must not underestimate the importance of this move. Smaller clubs often offer the perfect environment for growth, responsibility and competitive experience. Unlike the glare of bigger stages, here Bameyi has the chance to mature steadily while still playing at a professional level that demands consistency.
We believe this deal also highlights the importance of local academies like Yum-Yum FC, which serve as critical stepping stones for promising players. Their work ensures Nigerian talent is not just raw but also prepared to meet international standards of professionalism and discipline.
We hold firm to the view that this move is not only a personal milestone for Bameyi but also a positive sign for Nigerian football. His journey abroad reflects the resilience and ambition that continue to define our players. It is precisely this spirit that convinces us Nigerian football is moving in the right direction.
