Jonathan makes sumptuous promises to Eagles If…

President Goodluck Jonathan has reeled out a long list of
promises to the Super Eagles if they go beyond the rounds
and make an impact in the knock-out stages at the ongoing
World Cup in Brazil.

The Senate President David Mark, who led a powerful
Federal government delegation to wish the Eagles well in
Brazil, conveyed President Jonathan’s message of good
hope. He said it was time an African country wins the World
Cup, adding that the African champions are motivated
enough to do the magic. “When we won the Olympics gold
medal at Atlanta 96, we defeated countries like Argentina
and Brazil, so I believe we can have a repeat performance at
this year’s World Cup, with the talents available to us in this
team”, he said.

Senator Mark assured that the government was ready to do
all it can within available resources to make the team
comfortable in the tournament, adding that he will
personally remain to attend all the team’s games in the
opening rounds.
Responding, Head Coach of the team, Stephen Okechukwu
Keshi said he was happy to see top government
functionaries visiting the team before they kicked their first
ball of the tournament as that has been a motivating factor
for him in his playing days, which saw him captaining the
squad for 14 years.
