Waterway: Beautiful piece put together by igomen regarding the act of patriotism. I can't help to notice the statement from our Senate president, Mr David Mark asking more from fellow Nigerians, to let this win be a rallying point for peace/unity in the country. The irony is we have patriotic youths, bringing accolades and respect to our beloveth country, in the league of nations but have leaders who are unpatriotic !!! we have youths who placed Nigeria first and leaders who take pride in putting Nigeria last.--- ala their health care and personal investments overseas. Mr President and Senate president, the youths of Nigeria are disillusioned due to the massive corruption and mismanagement of the Nigerian Elite/poticians. A country where looting of treasury and mismanagement of govt fund is the order of the day. The youths do not feel any part of ownership in their country, they do not feel they have a stake in it for them, hence the Mayheim unleashed in the Niger Delta & Northern Nigeria. The rampant robbery, kidnappings, cultism and the spike in crime rate has direct correlation with the total disregard for rule of law by the political elite and it trickles down to every facet of our society as a nation. Remember a society is defined by what it values. Our politicians are buying up the world overseas (private jets, mansions,healthcare, comfort) and come home to the squalor and abject poverty that abound and feel no sense of duty to this great country. They ask you and I to be patriotic but I say lead by example because the level of hypocrisy by the political class is blurring the definition of a true Nigerian and changing our values, undermined the tireless effort of our founding fathers for a " one Nigeria" with charted course to first class and not third world nation . So I ask our leaders to lead by example . So Mr President, Senate President enact the laws that puts our country back on track. Take the torch from our young talented , courageous players and lets us march in solidarity from North to South, East to west and restore the respect that is due this nation and secure our future as a country. So let our leaders not ask more from us, let them show us how patriotic they are in the cause. Let them trim govt and stop the looting and fight corruption. Enact laws that promote business, create jobs and a legal system that treats us all as equal under the law. On this note I say


Stephen Keshi- you truly deserve honour and all the accolades !!
Victor Moses you are a beacon of hope for the disillusioned youths of this beloveth country
To all our patriotic flying eagles , players in AFCON 2013, job well done , we salute you. Your country is proud of you.



Again Mr President, Senate president, bring down this wall of corruption and raise the patriotic torch. Long Live Nigeria !!!!

equily: BRAVO!!! TO THE EAGLES,,,,,,,,,,,,I KNEW IT C'MON LETS CELEBRATE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i declare today a public Holiday

onila: john dumelo supporting Nigeria!

manosteel: Keshi may have won the Cup but he has not won the following charges against him:

#count 1, You Stephen Keshi, on 10th February unleashed a deadly Squad and therefore used excessive and disproportional force against Burkina farso team, thereby giving yourself undue advantage which resulted to the only goal, this is a violation of United Nation Human right Resolution.

#count 2, You Keshi on this same date, your team out-played Burkina Babes, this is a violation of FIFA fair play rule.

#count 3, You keshi, on the said date, you received a prediction frm TB that you would win the match thereby deciding the outcome of the game before it was played, this is match Fixing.

#count 4, You Keshi, on this said date, after you had won the game, received a mouth watering handshakes from the goverment officials, this is goverment interference in football, which is against fifa rule.

What do you plea?

ritux: If we dont know Mba's age, we can assume he is 19yrs old.

tha_originator: I LOVE NIGERIA, I LOVE ALL THE TRIBES, DIVIDED WE FALL BUT UNITED WE SHALL STAND AND CONQUER.

kelch: Imagine this, the tournament started 19th of Jan,d last goal was scored by jersey number 19 on a sunday by a sunday & we won it after 19yrs.
This is the story of a young boy whose parents were murdered during 2002 riots in Kaduna. He was aged 11 years at the time. His parents, Mr Austine and Mrs Josephine Moses, were missionaries until they met their untimely death. The boy left his house to play football but returned home to see that all his parents had laboured for had been razed down and he would never see his mother and father again.
He was taken to London by his uncle almost immediately after the incident. While in London, he began deploying his football skills. Though his parents were murdered, his passion for football was never killed. He played football for his school and later for a local Tandrige League club until Crystal Palace FC approached him. From that point, his career progressed in leaps and bounds.
This player played for England's under 16, 17, 19 and 21 teams between 2005 and 2010 scoring 11 goals for England during this period. He later moved to Wigan Athletic and now he plays for Chelsea. This footballer is called VICTOR MOSES.
His story is a touching one, I share his pains. I also share his courage. He had a choice not to step into Nigeria again but he didn't take that option. When the call to serve his fatherland came, Moses dumped England and embraced Nigeria... That is patriotism!
Today, we see a Victor Moses bringing joy to every Nigerian including those who may have inspired his parent's death... That is Love!
On Sunday, Moses would stand for the National Anthem and pledge allegiance to a country that couldn't defend his parents... That is faith!
Moses would deliver the "African Cup of Nations" trophy to Nigeria not minding what had happened in the past... That is forgiveness! Moses rose through bitterness and despair to the limelight of hope and courage.
He never gave up on his country. He persevered... That is purpose!
If someone like Victor Moses, despite the bitter past, never gave up on Nigeria, then why should we?

igomen:
No wonder Victor was on fire in this Tournament. i duff my hat, you are a great inspiration to the youths of this country.....never give up
