“I am confident of a good outing in South Africa. We have prepared well and, having missed the last tournament, wish to make Nigerians proud by the end of it.
"This is my first Africa Cup of Nations and I want to make it a memorable one. I want to play in every match, score when the opportunity presents itself and help players in good positions to also score.
"When all these (things) happen, they (supporters) can be sure that we are going to bring back the trophy,” he said.

I like the Nigerian's vibe at the stadium though such patriots! A bafana vs Nigeria Final could be described as a Joburg derby...hahaha.
Agreed! I think Bafana and Nigeria suffered the same feet. All the resources in the World but poor administration cost the team. They have a very good squad of individuals now, let's see if Keshi can see them achieving according to their potential. This could very well be one of the greatest AFCON tournament of the last decade. Only Cameroon, Senegal and Egyp are missing to make it a battle of the powerhouses.
I will be chilling with my Ogas laughing at the Xhosa commentary since Cape Town is not hosting games. The vibe will extend outside the stadiums too that I can assure you. Wishing all the teams well and hoping for the best display of African football full of skill and flair. Still maintaining the point that DRC will win this competition. I will support Bafana Bafana by default because it is my team but I am not hoping for much from them.
he is committed to the core osaze happen to be another guy with such attitude
to serve their fatherland they have no second thought the spirit is there
goodluck moses
