rapmike: i just wanted Ghana out because they and cote'd'ivorie were making mouths that our team is not good enuff to face them...guess whose laughing now grin grin grin grin
. The ivorians don't make noise. They believe that they are stars and to any african team that meets them, then that african team is small for the ivorians.

You know, Nigeria was the most welcoming and friendly of African countries. We supported everyone else in their independence (like the ANC of South Africa). But now, every country in Africa looks down at us and not give us respect. Worse yet, they are delighted when they hear of our failures. Is that how you repay a benefactor?

I dont know either u study elementary history or @ least Social Studies in ur elementary sch.
ur country nigeria shd be grateful to Kwame Nkrumah

Basic: Initially I wanted us to play Ghana in the finals and beat the daylight out of them. I felt they needed to be taught how to learn to keep their mouths shut when it comes to football.
With the Super Eagles' current form, I'm sure we'll whip Ghana if we play them in the final.
Secondly, I wanted the Eagles to take their pound of flesh from the Ghanians. So, at first, I wanted Ghana to qualify for the final.
But while watching the Ghana-B/Faso semi final, I changed my wish, for 2 reasons:
1. Burkina Faso outplayed them like mad and deserved to win.
2. The refree was obviously behind Ghana. So, out of sympathy, I supported BF.
In short, I didn't support BF out of fear of the Ghanians. In fact, BF will be tougher than Ghana in the final. The Ghanians have just been an average team so far, or maybe a little above average.
@basic, I totally support your view and in addition, Ghana always feel they have psychological edge over Nigeria; no thanks to their win over Nigeria in their last two encounters in which they won by a lone goal. However, in this tournament, their scoring instinct is so poor that they wouldn't mind to win by that controversial penalty they scored in the 12th minute, thus even if they win, they might still be playing like that thinking they will outshine the Super Eagles and that will be suicidal for them. Nevertheless, I supported the bf's simply for sake of their doggedness and unfair officiating towards them.

that magician's prediction last year that we'll play ghana in the finals and they would win 3. 1 scared me wella. It almost came to pass.
Re: Why Did Most Nigerians Support Burkina Faso Against Ghana? by creazor(m): 10:46am On Feb 08, 2013
I initially supported Ghana for two reasons:
1. because they are our brothers
2. because I wanted them to be taught a great football lesson.

Most Nigerians always support Ghana in all competitions bar the day they clash with the Super Eagles. Even in this tournament, most people supported Ghana in that match, but for the great injustice wrought against Burkina.

And you can't blame CAF, they wanted the big-seller final.

All in all, Burkina played better and deserved the ticket to the final.

The derogatory comments about each other is highly uncalled for. Without controversy everyone knows that Nigeria is the Giant and Hinge of Africa. However, u can't also blame any other nation for claiming the title. It's simple logic: if u want to be the best, then compete with the best. That's what's trying to play out here.

I have no hatred for Ghana. In fact I love them, and I've got so many Ghanaian friends.
UP EAGLES! UP NIGERIA!

You are wrong on 2001 loss to Naija, cos there was no AFCON that year. Instead, in 2000, Naija lost to Ghana in penalty shoot out at the finals.

vandarsar: If Nigeria have to win a trophy why not do it against a better team? Ghana is toooooo overrated, and it shows in their game vs Burkina Faso.

Nigeria, CIV, Burkina Faso and Cape Verde are the only tactically sound teams in this competition. Ghana is a complete disgrace and so is the Tunisian ref. I wonder if something good can come out of Tunisia!!!

On a serious note I supported Ghana. The reason is because Nigeria would have won them without much stress.I think the match between Nigeria and Burkina faso is a must watch cos it would be tougher.
