The Honourable Minister of Sports,
and Chairman of the National Sports
Commission, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi
has thanked Nigerians for the massive
support of the Super Eagles, stating that
their support inspired the team to victory.
He further commended the players, Coach
Stephen Keshi and other members of the
technical and support team for their hardwork,
dedication and discipline, which has translated
into victory for the team.
According to Abdullahi, the Super Eagles have
given Nigerians a cause for celebrations and their
victory has lifted the mood of the nation ahead of
the 100 year anniversary celebrations of Nigeria.
He however noted that, “This is not the final destination.
We will work with the Nigeria Football Federation to
ensure that we build on the current success and make
the Super Eagles world-beaters.
We will not rest until enduring governance systems
for sports management have been built and the culture
of excellence is entrenched in not just football but in all
our sports.”

Yes, and this is how we are going to do it; fire Keshi in April of 2014, hire a coach from Europe or Central America by May of same year and pay him twice what we paid Keshi; select players and campsite in June, and release the World Cup budget in July of 2014. Then, commit every Nigerian to fast and pray so that the Eagles will win the World cup in Brazil come August.
That is what we call improvement in Nigeria!
Gud improvement of nigeria n more of it
