Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan has demanded the 'Super Eagles' return from the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa this July with the biggest prize in international football.

Speaking at a special dinner to send the Super Eagles off to the World Cup on Friday, Jonathan referenced Nigeria's independence, which will be celebrated on 1 October after 50 years. "This is a call to national duty and I expect the Eagles to prepare well and win this trophy. That will be a birthday gift for our country and set the stage for a golden jubilee celebration of our independence as a nation," added Jonathan, who shook hands with the entire Nigeria squad led by coach Lars Lagerback. "Play, win and we will make you smile.

The President Name is Goodluck, his wife name is Patience. With those 2 combinations PIGS might fly ( oops sorry Eagles/elephant)

The present Team does not have the technical know how BUT if they have THE BELEIF, anything is possible, especially if Goodluck charm rub on them, most of their opponents kapsih somehow along the way.

Dream on Super non flying eagles. I don't even think that they can beat Abuja X1, yeye team

As long as they dont give me un-necessary hypertension, getting through the group stages is all I even ask for.

I beg oh be super eagles not super chickens,

. . probably the plastic one. our football team is the true reflection of our nation.Only a miracle can secure that trophy for us.

one of those dreams.
apart from goodluck and jonathan, no other nigerian is expecting that cup here.
the only and most expected and important cup here in nigeria is electricity and the only player to bring it home at the moment is goodluck jonathan and the game will be between him and all the evil men in pdp.
if jonathan fails to deliever this cup(electricity) no other cup can serve as a good replacement.

That is your President for you: demand. while other countries are planning, put tactics and strategy into place.

He demands. what a load of CRAP.

Why the hate? This is normal for a president to make such supporting statement to boast the players . . what the big deal?
