For the last two years, Yobo had made no secret of the fact that he wanted to bow out with silverware after over a decade of playing international football.

On Sunday, that dream came true.
"I can't describe this feeling. It's a dream come true. I've played in the national team for almost 12 years and I have always wanted to win Trophy.
"This is just great!"
The defender said he would savour the moment before deciding on what his next move would be.

Yobo plase hand over to Obi Mikel, the most calm in the world, when he has the ball, no one can take it, he reminds me of Oupa Ace Manyisa whom I think must watch Obi's game and learn. Congratulations toi The super Eagles of Niggeria

KING wake up tuu...you are so delisional, let alone pathetic. It's incomprehensible , to think you comparing Manyisa to an honest, talented ,world acclaimed player like John Obi Mikel. You Orlando Pirates fans are known for tarnishing names of well known stars like Drogba, by comparing them with your glorified age cheats. It would be understandable if you were to compare Manyisa to his best friend John Moeti.
2nd : Burkina faso - silver
3rd : Mali - bronze
4th : Black stone - coal
Ivory coast - cocoa

I said it that Nigeria will be leading and Yobo will be introduced 10 minutes to go just to liff the trophy and the script happened as i predicted.
Son of the soil, Niger Boy i am proud of you. Now it is time to hand over your capatancy to Obi Mike. Even if you just become a back up player, your influence and guidance will be much appreciated. You have run your race so let Obi take the baton to lead this great team into Confed and Brazil 2014.
In Nigeria Super Eagles I trus for Confed. Its time Nigeria write a new history. Taribo West, Rashidi Yekini, Jay Jay, Sunday Olise, Kanu, Amokachi and the big boss himself Stevn Keshi they have written their.
