SOME EAGLES CONFIRM ABACHA CALLED BEFORE NIGERIA/ARGENTINA DUEL Athen, GEORGIA, Aug 3, 1996 (NigeriaTODAY): Several members of the Super Eagles confirmed today that they had spoken directly to Nigeria's head of state Gen. Sanni Abacha just before the gold medal encounter between Nigeria and Argentia. The players said Gen. Abacha had encouraged them to "win this game for Nigeria and for Africa". "It was motivating to know that he cares," said a striker who prefered to remain anonymous and whose play was critical for Nigeria's victory. The Nigerian government had declared Monday a public holiday to celebrate the Eagles performance. It also promised cash rewards to any atheletes who wins a gold medal. The Eagles stand to share 5 million naira (about $62,000) for beating Argentina |
