Cross River Rewards Super Eagles With N10m ! by wales(m): 5:55am On Sep 07, 2010 |
The Cross River State government, on Sunday, presented the Super Eagles team that won the 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifying match played against Madagascar in Calabar, a N10 million cheque for good performance. The match, which was played at the U. J Esuene Stadium in Calabar, was won by the team who thrashed their opponent, Barea of Madagascar, two goals to nil. The governor, who also bank-rolled the expenses of the African Cup of Nations qualifier against the Islanders, said it was just a token to the boys for a job well done while he enjoined the football house to bring more matches to Calabar where they will always be welcome. The deputy governor of the state, Efiok Cobham, who made the donation on behalf of the state governor, Liyel Imoke, during a banquet organised for the team at the Peregrino Lodge, Calabar, challenged the new look national team to scale up their performance in order to regain public confidence in them. Mr. Cobham also challenged the new leadership of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to brace up for a more profound responsibility of improving on the performance of the new team, claiming that the donation was made in recognition of how they have redeemed their image with the 2-0 victory. Claiming that football was first played in Nigeria in Calabar, the deputy governor expressed regrets that the round leather game was yet to develop professionally and managerially, and implored football administrators to make sure that the senior national football team becomes a force to be reckoned in the world. Brilliant future According to him, although the past has been replete with a chequered history and dismal performances, the future was still bright if there is zeal and commitment by all the participants in the success of the most popular sport on earth. “I see the ability to rise again,” Mr. Cobham said, “and Nigerians expect the re-branded team to bring victory and glory to them in all outings.” He said that the government is making efforts to ensure that Calabar remains the home of football in Nigeria, as it started years back with some members of the then national team coming from the state. In his response, the chief coach of the Super Eagles, Austin Eguaveon, said he was overwhelmed by the gesture of the Cross River State government and assured that the team will continue to do the nation proud in subsequent outings.

This Liyel Imoke is a confirmed mugu. I just don't understand why such a dullard was brought in to rule this state. In all his years in power, he hasn't achieved one meaningful thing. The guy doesn't even know how to properly steal. For F*&^ sake. |
