GEJ To Watch AFCON Final If Eagles Qualify by Nobody: 8:09am On Feb 06, 2013
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Aminu Maigari said on Tuesday that President Goodluck Jonathan will watch the finals of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), if the Eagles qualified.

Jonathan had said last year that he would want to be at the closing ceremonies of the 2013 AFCON at the National Stadium, if the Super Eagles would make it to the finals.

Following the steady progress from the group stage to Sunday’s 2-1 elimination of pre-tournament favourites, Cote d’Ivoire, the Super Eagles are only a leg away from fulfilling the president’s desire.

``I have just spoken to the head coach, Stephen Keshi and the captain, Joseph Yobo and they have assured me that they will strive to fulfill Mr President’s desire.

``It is rare to have this kind of support from a head of state.


``On our part, the NFF has motivated the team enough to do Mr president and the nation proud by not only winning Wednesday’s tie, but lifting the trophy on Sunday,” Magiari said.

He said that Jonathan also spoke to Keshi and the players on Tuesday and reiterated his desire to be at the closing ceremonies on Sunday.

The Nigeria High Commissioner to South Africa, Sonni Yusuf, has also expressed the sentiments of the president to be physically present at the finals of the 2013 AFCON, if the Eagles would make the finals.

``The President watched you and was excited that you showed the true Nigerian character and his private secretary just called to say you should just fulfill your own part of the bargain and leave the rest to Mr President.

``With what we have seen of your performance in this tournament, we are sure you will not disappoint,’’ Yusuf added. (NAN)

If only our celebs knows how to use their status, they should also troop in for the final, that alone go scare Ghana, n would make our bois play d same way they palyed against ivorie coast, n it would also boost the celebs image. So they should not leave the job for Pawpaw alone.

Una don dey think about Ghana without overcoming Mali in the semis.... Proper 9ja mentality. Over confidence. Reminds me of a certain world cup that we ignored small Denmark and started planning for how we would beat France at the Quarter Finals. Denmark humiliated Nigeria 4-1.

Hope history won't repeat itself.

He'll be there to watch mali carry the cup! Because they are going to win not just nigeria but the competition.


They are more determined and have more reason to fight for it.
The situation in their country!!


Its just like last years competition,

The zambian team came ontop because of the plane crash that claimed the life of their players some 20years back, at that same place.



This year, mali will because of the challenge they are facing in their country.

What else will he says? He'll surely want to see his team win the tournament with his two eyes. Just pray that we beat Seydou Keita's side today before he booked his flight to Nelson Mandela's town
