Nigeria Dominates The World by MrSmith007: 5:13am On Nov 13, 2015 |
November 9th, 2015 has gone down in history as a day Nigeria produced two world champions in the games of juvenile football and scrabble. The Golden Eaglets defeated their Malian junior national team counterparts by two goals to nil at the Sausalito Stadium, Chile, to retain the trophy they won two years ago in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Across the world in the Australian city of Perth, Nigeria also produced Africa’s first world champion in the game of scrabble when Mr Wellington Jighere trounced an Englishman, Lewis MacKay 4-0 in the English Language World Scrabble Championship. The two resounding victories came as a pep factor to a country whose citizens have lately been reeling from several socio-political and economic downturns, including the Boko Haram terrorism, the renewed pro-Biafra protests in the East and dwindling economic fortunes of the nation. President Muhammadu Buhari, who had the honour of receiving the maiden world cup won by the Golden Eaglets as a military leader in 1985, was in the forefront of cheering and motivating these worthy Nigerian ambassadors before, during and after their gallant endeavours. The Eaglets not only lengthened their victory run to five wins in 20 years, our own Victor Osimhen set a new games record of ten goals, thus carting away the Adidas Golden Boot, while team captain, Kelechi Nwakali, also won the Most Valuable Player of the tournament along with the Adidas Golden Ball. Jighere, on the other hand, beat an Englishman to a game in the latter’s own language, thus showing that Nigerians are now masters of a language considered as the most influential in the world. We congratulate the Golden Eaglets, both as individual players and as team, for their feat which has put smiles on the faces of Nigerians all over the world. We particularly give a pat on the back to team coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, who has proved his worth both as a player and coach. We commend Wellington Jighere for his brilliant performance and achievement. Nigerians are very proud of these patriots who have lifted our flag aloft above those of other nations in the world. We join President Buhari and the people of Nigeria to accord these heroes a rousing welcome back home to the warm embrace of appreciation. We hope that other Nigerians will be inspired by these achievements and put in more effort to win and bring fame and fortunes to themselves and more glory to the nation. We urge the citizenry to emulate these achievers and channel their energies and creativity to positive endeavours that will lift the people and the nation at large, rather than bring us shame and dishonor. Congratulations, and more grease to your elbows. Source; http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/nigeria-dominates-the-world/ |
