NIGERIA: Sport Minister Flies To South Africa To Support Eagles

Nigeria Sports Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi is expected to fly into South Africa today for tonight's Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) semi final match between Super Eagles and Black Stars of Ghana.

Mallam Abdullahi will connect a domestic flight from O.R Tambo International airport in Johannesburg to Bloemfontein, with the game slated for Mangaung stadium. Players and officials of the second string senior national team are not blinking an eye over the Minister's pronouncement of another N16m reward if they dim the Black Stars of Ghana.


"We know we'll get the money, in fact we've been informed the money will be made available when the minister comes so we wish him a safe trip", offers an official of the team who does not want his name in print.

"Our focus is on the match against Ghana because a win will take us to the final and the cup", he added.
