Is this Ejide so good that the coaching crew would risk an injury to still make him a part of the squad.

Morocco will be very tough –––Okocha
•••calls for prayer
By HAKEEM OJALEYE

Super Eagles skipper AustinOkocha has predicted a tough game for the team against the Atlans Lions or Morocco in Tuesday’s match in Manastir.

Speaking on The International Media, the Bolton Wanderers midfielder said they need to work extra to ensure they carry dow.

“People should not see the Moroccans as a push over, because both teams have good players that ply their trade in Europe and in the championship of this magnitude, every participating team has equal chances”, Okocha emphasised.

The Super Eagles skipper further explained that the Cup of Nations is a high tournament and what they need to do is to put their heards together, to ensure the success of the team.

The midfield maestro called on the citizens of the country to pray for them and all things being equal, the performance or the team during the competition will convince all doubting Thomases.

this bit about Agali is very funny.

Agali injured, doubtful against Morocco
••• Warns players against Okoronkwo, Yobo
By ADE OJEIKERE

Nigeria’s quest to field her best players against Morocco on Tuesday in Monastir suffered a set-back when gangling Victor Agali limped out of the team’s training session on Saturday, following vicious tackles on him by Isaac Okoronkwo and Joseph Yobo.

Agali left the 11-a-side session between teams A and B at the Jammel Municipal Stadium in Monastir with a swollen right foot although the team’s doctors are working relentlessly to get him fit for the Tuesday opening game.

Interestingly, Agali appears to be unperturbed about the injury as he pitied Moroccan strikers and other Africans that may come across okoronkwo and Yobo during Nigeria’s Africa Nations Cup games.

He literally made doctor Muazu Abdulkadir unconscious when he said: “ Those guys are beasts. They wanted to ruin me. I pray for African players that would confront them during our matches. They are definitely good players. I will be back in training soon.”

looks like yobo and okoronkwo are out to end careers...the fact that Agali -played on a diffrent team from yobo and okoronkwo makes me believe that he will not start...

could it be that the defenders realized that he's a wastepipe and are trying to be patriotic by rendering useless before game day?

Blakes, on the contrary, I think CCC wants to see how Agali will hold up against tough defenders.

I hope all the cynics and critics of the much maligned NFA note the information contained above,to wit,the Finance Ministry is inexplicably witholding already approved money for the Eagles.If the NFA was the body that did not release funds,the usual suspects will be up in arms!

How can you make a doctor unconscious with a statement
