10/2/2013 is a date a lot of Nigerians will remember for a while. Especially in the Footballing World. Yipee!!!! It was the day the Super Eagles lifted the African Nations Cup after Donkey years. To tell the truth, a lot of Nigerians had written off the Super Eagles. Just like any relationship, several heart breaks can lead to lethargy in any relationship. Nigerians once had a very loving relationship with the Super eagles especially after the 1994 Eagles magic, but after years of disappointment, the love was lost.
But yesterday, they definitely got the love back! This Team had its heroes in Chris Mba who scored the winning goal, Victor Moses who has been phenomenal all through the competition, Emenike the Highest Goal Scorer, Enyeama who saved us at the goal post countless times, Mikel Obi who marshalled the midfield, every member of the Team, and the Head Honcho, the main Super Hero, Coach Steven Keshi...what started out as a dull story at the start of the competition turned into a beautiful love story between the Eagles and over 150 million Nigerians.
