Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Sonni Samuel Yusuf walked taller Sunday when the Super Eagles sent Ivory Coast’s Elephants crashing out of the Nations Cup.

The High Commissioner who said that he was proud to be a Nigerian informed that about Six Governors in Nigeria called to congratulate him and to also inform him that they would be in South Africa to watch the semi final cracker against Mali on Wednesday in Durban.

“I’m particularly elated because nobody gave these boys any chance of survival against Cote d’Ivoire. God loves Nigeria and we should learn to believe in ourselves.

I am proud to be a Nigerian. Nigerians back home are happy and six Governors have called to inform that they will be watching their semi final match in Durban. It could be more but unfortunately my phone has gone off because the battery is down”.

The High Commissioner advised Nigerians not to be cynical against themselves. “We got potentials. Nothing is impossible if we believe in ourselves.

With Cote d’Ivoire out of our way, we must beat Mali. Let the bookmakers tip them to win on paper while we win on the field of play”, the youthful High Commissioner said.

These governors will never cease to amaze, with the myriad of problems bedeviling the country, they are set to embark on a jamboree to SA. One only hopes they do not infect the team with their ill-luck and create a distraction for the team.

This will motivates d players same way the presence of okocha,paw paw and papilo did.But I hope it won't requires billions.

Sure way to embezzle.

It goes a long way to show their priorities. Bad enough some states don't have a functional sport system.

So because they are governors, they can't watch Nigeria play even if they could....is that a crime?

omicron: So because they are governors, they can't watch Nigeria play even if they could....is that a crime?

If Nigeria wins, I'm sure they will stay behind for the final match while other governor joins them. I wish they could release their expenses when they come back, I'm sure we will all wish they never went.

I pray we won't be looking for black boxes after their departure.

Tax payers are not happy oo o!

Eagles will disappoint them.. Lol

An opportunity to thief money go kip 4 south africa bank and have some fun with some ladies btw i hope their wives gonna go with them unless...hmm

Are they using their salaries to fund the trip sha?

This may be counter productive as the Eagles may find themselves under pressure.

Once again, they will go there with their bad luck and failures. They should just sit down and do what they were elected to do I beg

These are all distractions!
They should just allow these boys
to play and win.
And to NFF can't believe they've booked
return flights prior to the quarter- final match

Their going there will bring bad luck to SE because they will dilute the anointing from TB Joshua

I pray Boko Haram plants bombs under their seats. Useless fellows. Mtschewww!
