    Ismaila Podoh (15years old ) of City of David united FC,  made history in a week 13 league match (16th March 2013) of Nigeria National League (NNL) between COD Utd and Bendel Insurance as the youngest player to feature for a club in the Nigeria National League (NNL).

    •Podoh started his romance over a year ago when he showed up for trials at C.O.D. United for a place in the club's U 16 side. A trial which involved over 200 people saw Podoh, picked amongst the final 20.

    Since then, the talented forward hasn't looked back as he went on with C.O.D united's U- 16's to the Lisboa cup in Portugal and caught the eyes of everyone there, racking up five goals as C.O.D went all the way to the quarter finals.

    On his return from Portugal, Podoh continued his education and the current S.S.S. 2 student of Bishop Powell Grammar school, has done well to combine his school work and football career.

    Podoh scored five goals at last years annual Adefemi Olubayo National Championship for U-17's as C.O.D United led by the coach, Solomon Manasseh emerged as the winners.

    From there on, Podoh and alongside three of his team mates from the winning side, Tunde Akinsemuye, Nancel Tali and Kalu Awo got promoted to the first team.
