Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South
Africa, Sonni Samuel Yusuf walked
taller Sunday [Feb. 3] when the Super Eagles sent Ivory Coast’s Elephants
crashing out of the Nations Cup.
The High Commissioner said that about
Six Governors in Nigeria called to congratulate him and to also inform him that
they would be in South Africa to watch the semi final cracker against Mali on
Wednesday in Durban.
I’m
particularly elated because nobody gave these boys any chance of survival
against Cote d’Ivoire. God loves Nigeria and we should learn to believe in
ourselves.
“I am proud
to be a Nigerian. Nigerians back home are happy and six Governors have called
to inform that they will be watching their semi final match in Durban. It could
be more but unfortunately my phone has gone off because the battery is down”.
The High Commissioner advised
Nigerians not to be cynical against themselves. “We got potentials. Nothing is
impossible if we believe in ourselves”.
With Cote d’Ivoire out of our way, we
must beat Mali. Let the bookmakers tip them to win on paper while we win on the
field of play”, the youthful High Commissioner said.
