It is a well deserved victory for the boys, I congratulates the boys as well the entire team for putting up a good fight against arch- rival the Black Starlets of Ghana.
I watched the boys in Niger Republic played and i knew they have what it takes to win the tournament haven watched other teams played what they need is focus, and determination to win the tournaments
I am not surprised that they won the WAFU B tournament, they have really shown the right character and the right attitudes required.
For me ,watching those young talented players gave me a flashback memories of my days as a player in 1993 with the likes of Kanu Nwankwo, celestine Babayaro, Festus Odini, Mobil Oparaku , and many others when we played the qualifiers together.
Having played for the country and also captain Borno state academicas and El-kanemi warriors of Borno state and the present chairman of match commissioner appointment commitee
