When Super Eagles Score How Do You React? by chuks49(m): 7:28pm On Jan 25, 2013
I have recently observed a changing trend among Nigerians as regards to our support for the Super Eagles. As a former die hard supporter of the Eagles I remembered how we took to the streets to celebrate the Dream Team's victory over Brazil at the semi final of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and repeated same when we won Argentina in the finals.
I also remembered how we celebrated Nigeria's defeat of Spain at the group stage in France '98, and subsequently the mourning that followed our defeat in the knock out round.
These strong emotional attachment to the Eagles by Nigerians I believe started fading by the second half of the last decade. Most Nigerians no longer care if we win or loose, qualifies or get knocked out. Some rather watch African Magic than watch Super Eagles play. The most surprising discovery I made from our matches against Burkina Faso and Zambia was that whenever the Eagles score, Nigerians no longer celebrates. The neighborhood remains very quiet as if nothing was going on. This doesn't not happen when Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal or Barca scores. This typifies the Nigerian problem, we import virtually everything that makes our life meaningful, and now our "collective happiness".
Wish way Naija?

[size=13pt]I jump and cheer. What else again?

Those that don't celebrate are unpatriotic pessimists. If Arsenal still has fans, and Cape Verdians celebrated their sole goal in the entire tournament's history, then what is stopping Nigerians from celebrating? Some Nigerians can never be satisfied.[/size]

I don't watch them so there's no cause to celebrate their goals.
Re: When Super Eagles Score How Do You React? by raynold17(m): 9:12pm On Jan 25, 2013

Burkina Faso scored up to 4 goals now that's something to react to if I were a Burkinabe!

Re: When Super Eagles Score How Do You React? by SisiKill1: 9:14pm On Jan 25, 2013
Depends on when they score. . .

If they score early then I feel a sense of resignation because they tend to relax after they score giving the opponents a chance to score.

Even though the tension is higher, I'd rather the worked hard through out the match before scoring last minutes.

Indifferent... The team is predictable at every passing game. Nothing excited about their games, nothing to cheer.

we do not have a team. Nigeria is no more a team to celebrate for as they have lost every good thing about them.
From the managers to the players, we have no single person to celebrate. We have arrogant players and over rated coaches who do not know their right from their left. Keshi need to throw in the towel now because he has failed. =From the glass house all should go. Let us even be watching street football in Nigeria rather than watch those wasted individuals play.Cannot celebrate chickens.Better watch dogs play on the street than watch those boys.
