Explaining why his team fell short, the coach lamented the fact that his team has travelled around Ivory Coast for the tournament, hence suffering from fatigue unlike the Super Eagles who have been in the capital city of Abidjan since the start of the tournament.

“Nigeria have never left Abidjan since the start of the tournament, but we (Angola) have played in about three cities. Truthfully, fatigue also played a path in our performance but it still no excuse. Let’s just commend ourselves for getting this far”, he said at the post match conference.

A really valid one. Jet lag is a big deal in this kind of competition.

Still a valid excuse. Meanwhile your team had as much time as Nigeria to rest. Just a day less I suppose

DR Congo also played in 3 cities yet they beat Guinea 3-1, it's not a valid excuse.

Jet lag indeed. How big is Cote d'Ivoire? They most likely travelled by bus and even if they didn't, you're not getting jetlag from a one hour flight.

Angola should stick with you outplayed us, it's more honorable. There's nothing wrong in being outplayed moreover other big names were outplayed & are currently at home

What jet lag within Ivory Coast? Jet lag is caused by crossing time zones.

We can say Nigeria is lucky. That we played in one city does not mean we deliberately plan it that way. Luck in football is as important as hardwork.
