That is the link of you choose to read

That is if you choose o not like helinues

ALTERNATEID:
I don’t need any link because I have a good understanding of what happened. Nigeria withdrew from the contest at the last hour so as not to allow West African votes to be divided. We supported Ghana and Cote D’Ivoire and they both won. Get the context and stop spreading fake news.
