Pride And Determination
Despite Nigeria’s early exit from the competition, Oyowah and his teammates showed a refusal to bow out meekly. Their motivation was simple: pride.
“We did not want to lose the match despite the elimination,” he said.
“I think the Nigerians feel proud after our victory over Congo. We had nothing to lose. We did not want to lower our heads in this match.
“The most important thing is that we got the three points in our last match and achieved our first victory in this tournament.”

-I think the Nigerians feel proud after our victory over Congo. We had nothing to lose. We did not want to lower our heads in this match-
How lower does he want to be before he realize, this team is the worst ever presented by Nigeria
They are not different from Complete clueless moderator who will allow senseless comments, and mediocre journalism to see the face of light, but will hide the real facts just for personal reasons. I wonder who is proud of 3 points after squarely beaten by Sudan and out of form Senegalese side. The home based player must be educated alongside their coach and our media house also need proper education in their operations.
Sharaap dere! Goat!
Yuh go complain taya! Mumu
Eediat! LMAAOO
Yeye people that looks likes skit makers. You better go and barb your hair.
Wike God bless you for this comment. Anytime I see dudes with this hair I automatically cut you off my clans. I ask myself whats special about this rascal koko wave???
They were still playing police, kick-and-follow, anywhere-belle-face football.
But there was some marginal difference cos the calamitous Leornard Ngenge, who was running like a pregnant woman in the game against Senegal and was scoring own goals or causing penalties without pressure against Sudan, was benched—the same with that goalkeeper that had no positional awareness.
The differences were this Oyomah, Anas Yusuf, maybe Alimi, and the goalkeeper, Harcourt, in place of the police footballers.
