DrKlever: Good! Hope another plane crash will not happen?

No, it won't as long as you don't think of it. Learn to be Positive.

3ace: Highest number of delegates so far.

Many of them are fans, not just officials

263 delegates? Ethiopia na construction site?

Victory nothing short.

arewatech: How come I'm not invited

When I believe some National Assembly members would have stylishly dodged the IV for fear of crash, u dey vex say dem no invite u. Fear from recent crashes no catch u ni?

dominique: Na to misappropriate funds na im dey sabi. More than half of those delegates have no business being there.

Wetin National Assembly dey go find?? Na those pple go raise the budget, even if na only 5 pple. Dey shud av reduced d number to 120 or 150.

Scun: Many of them are fans, not just officials

I know. The FG deliberately sponsored this trip because the match is crucial to our qualification. Hence, my response to dominique above.

Dem want make Ethiopians fear na, make dem know say Nigeria mean business. For airport like dis ehn, dem go just count dey go like say the delegates no go finish from the plane as dem dey come down.

I thought as much. Booking of space is now brining out new creativity. Una no use dot again because of e-attack wey go follow.

Money they should use for better things

At times, supporters' chanting and singing can have a great effect on the game's outcome. The large entourage is to an extent commendable. I don't blame your mindset, that is what our leaders have reduced us to.

Who be dis? Ofe fori ko ina, abi? Like one fan tweeted, "Ethiopians know their pitch like the back of their palms, we know how to beat them like the back of our palms. Source-Channels sports tonight.

What kind of devilish mind do you have? Prophet of doom!

WTF 263? Beht whyyy?

That is how one of this NFA officials will tell his family they are going on vacation and carry 12 of his family members with him to Ethiopia.

Local aircraft is been plagued with crashes. Thank God it is an international flight, otherwise, If na within Nigeria, I go just advise make Eagles follow our pot-holes infested highways.

DrKlever: Good! Hope another plane crash will not happen?

Amadu said 263 persons, including 23 players, coaches, NFF and National Sports Commission officials as well as members of the National Assembly and Nigeria Football Supporters’ Club members would board the plane.
