kelch: 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?
beautiful narrative.
Anyway Victor Moses made his choice of his own accord. those of us who choose to give up on the project called Nigeria also have the right to do so of our own accord.

We should remember to give Prophet + Pastor T.B. Joshua all the glory and the NL prayer warriors.
It was their prophecy and prayers that made the Super Eagles win against Burkina Faso.
The Burkinabes' did not pray well enough and their God was not strong enough. Also they had no pastor to prophesy victory into their team. shocked
sarcastic mode!

Nightshift: Sunday Mba has true blood of Enugu Rangers International. He followed the steps of former Rangers greats who made Nigeria proud in 1980. They are: Christain Chukwu, Emmanuel Okalla, Okey Isima, Sylvanus Okpala and Ifeanyi Onyedika. Up Rangers, Up Nigeria !!

Congratulations to super Eagles...they won the cup defeating Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast! How Nigeria is fallen that it is now an major achievement beating those minor african footballing nations! However, one can only beat what team comes before you. So we were fortunate not to meet credible teams.

I concur but like cream we have risen to the top. Generally, North African teams once heralded for their techical proficiency are all in decline I think due to the flagging demand for their players in Europe. Some west african teams have come to the end of their productive cycles such as Mali and Cote D'Ivoire while others like Ghana and Nigeria suffer from youth soccer backlash. Cameroun is an administrative mess.

I personally think that African football still has some way to fall before problems facing individual countries are addressed. Unfortunately success like Nigeria's sometimes tends to mask underlying problems. E.g. If we won without this and that. Why should we do or have them.

Another tragedy is CAF which does nothing whatsoever in pushing for development by enforcing standards amongst its members. As long as the cash comes in, no worries.

Please use words that you know the meaning, you can't use 'credible' becos none of the teams you mentioned cheated. Anyway if Ivory Coast, Mali that beat Ghana,Burkina that also beat Ghana isn't formidable enough, Then you should stick to watching beach football

There are no small teams in africa. Cape verd and co didn't come here to sell kuli-kuli!!
Guy negativity will not be ur downfall. Its ur type that said we won't make it from the group stage.
Talkless of winning it.
SHAME ON YOU!!
Now we have won it, its still not good enuff until we play a spain and brazil in the nations cup.

Congratulations to Nigeria for winning the 2013 AFCON.
What needs to be done is to make your current team BETTER than it is because even Keshi himself admitted that they are not "there" yet.
I still think the 1994 team (captained by Keshi) and the 1996 Olympics team (captained by Kanu) were the "real" Giants of Africa though. cheesy
