The Super Eagles have mourned four Nigerians who died while watching their epic semi-final match with Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Cote d’Ivoire, declaring that they will lift the continental trophy in their honour and Nigeria.

The Captain of the national soccer team, Ahmed Musa, disclosed this while leading a solemn session by the Super Eagles players and officials to mourn the deceased on Thursday.

LEADERSHIP reports how a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State and former federal lawmaker, Chief Cairo Ojougboh, slumped and thereafter died while watching the AFCON semifinal match between Nigeria and South Africa on Wednesday night. Also, the deputy bursar of Kwara State University, Ayuba Abdullahi; a Corps member serving in Adamawa State, Samuel, and a Cote d’Ivoire based Anambra State-born businessman, all died in similar circumstances.

But, Musa said there was nothing they could do rather than to pray for the families of the deceased and also honour their memories by winning the AFCON trophy for them and Nigeria on Sunday.

A minute silence was, therefore, observed in honour of the deceased while a member of the Super Eagles, Chidozie Collins Awaziem, was asked to lead a prayer for the repose of their souls.

“Yesterday (Wednesday), we lost four Nigerians because of the game yesterday. We will observe a minute silence, and after that Awaziem will lead us in prayers, we will pray for their families because there is nothing we can do and Insha Allahu on Sunday, we will lift that trophy for them and our country,” Ahmed Musa declared.

Life is a sacrifice.


This could be result of high blood pressure or heart problem.

Anyway one thing must kill a man.

Damnnn niggar
You guys should lift it o..
Rest in peace to them

But We way dey do sport betting everyday we suppose

Infact if you are a keyboard warrior you can't suffer depression and heart breaks again
Do you even know what we keyboard warriors experience every day

I lost 7million naira yesterday because one stupid bank in Czech Republic told my woman that my company is fake
Though I will also suggest this things though it sounds funny But it works
Sometimes smoke, drink alcohol and womanize
This things reduces heart breaks

Goodluck guys.

rip 2 d dead...
seriously times r hard..
watch d game with care.

God with u guys

Many Nigerian men are half-alive but we don't know. Not thanks to the bad health system of the country. Any small pressure on their hearts and they give up. That is why I try to avoid tense situations as much as possible. It is not about strength, it is about keeping alive.
Please lets stop encouraging our good doctors to japa. We know country bad but the doctors that could have warned these men about their conditions are saving the lives of citizens of UK, Canada and America.

I hope the SE brings the trophy home. We need it like kilode.

Go SE, go!
