Nigeria's High Commissioner to South Africa, Sonni Samuel Yusuf walked taller Sunday when the Super Eagles sent Ivory Coast's Elephants crashing out of the Nations Cup.
The High Commissioner who said that he was proud to be a Nigerian informed that about Six Governors in Nigeria called to congratulate him and to also inform him that they would be in South Africa to watch the semi final cracker against Mali on Wednesday in Durban.
"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.
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 advised Nigerians not to be cynical against themselves. "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", the youthful High Commissioner said.

This is a bad omen for the Eagles. If they were able to achieve this much without the unwanted distraction of corrupt Governors ever seeking avenues to loot state resources on useless foriegn trips with their lewd harem, I see absolutely no value in having all manner of VIPs (Very Important Prisoners - in waiting) invading the camp of the Eagles with all manner of silly promises to 'motivate' the Players, but which will invariably unsettle/distract the Players and gravely undermine their focus/concentration for the big task ahead. Let the gluttonous Governors remain in their States and do the work for which they were 'elected' for Heaven's sake! Enough of the senseless jamboree!
