The Super Eagles of Nigeria have qualified for the Semi-finals of the ongoing African Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Nigeria beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in a tightly contested match that brought out the best we’ve seen in the Super Eagles so-far in this tournament.
Emmanuel Emenike unleashed a powerful shot from a free kick to put Nigeria in front before Newcastle United player Chiek Tiote who was unmarked in Nigeria’s 18-yard box scored the equalizer.
Sunday Mba might have done enough to earn himself a foreign club as the Warri Wolves midfielder scored Nigeria’s winner after his deflected shot beat the Elephants’ goalkeeper.
Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi said as he rejoiced facing a camera, “T.B.Joshua, I love you.” Whatever that meant, Onazi.
T.B. Joshua is a Nigerian prophet known for his prophecies; maybe he got this point on too.
Congratulations Nigeria!
