Sonni Samuel Yusuf, who is Nigeria‘s High Commissioner to South Africa, expressed his delight at the Super Eagles’ feat at the Africa Nations Cup so far.
Yusuf said he was proud to be Nigerian, after watching Stephen Keshi’s team sent favourites Cote d’Ivoire packing from the tournament and revealed the optimism was so much that six governors, would be flying into Durban, to watch the semi-final match against Mali.
“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,” he said.
“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, also encourage Nigerians to support the Eagles fully, as they go all out for gold.
He said: “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.”
