Angola have proposed a warm-up game against Nigeria before the 2013 Nations Cup, officials said.

Angola Football Association vice-president, Joao Lusevikueno said in an interview on Monday they wish to test their readiness for the forthcoming AFCON in South Africa against Nigeria.

“We have proposed to play a match against Nigeria and we hope it is come through,” Lusevikueno said in a radio interview.

Both countries clashed in a similar game in January while Angola were preparing for the 2012 tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

The match against Nigeria’s home-based stars in Abuja ended in a goalless draw.

Angola qualified for their seventh Nations Cup after they eliminated Zimbabwe.

The Palancas Negras, who played hosts in 2010, beat Zimbabwe 2-0 at home to cancel out a 3-1 loss in Harare to go through on the away goals rule.

Nigeria defeated Liberia 8-3 on aggregate to reach 2013 AFCON.

They take on Venezuela in a friendly next month in the United States of America, while a training camp for players in the Nigeria Premier League has been planned for Europe before a final residential training most likely in Zimbabwe.

When it comes to preparation facilities are just as important as the climate. Portugal is a facility I believe we have used before.

Zimbabwe is where we will camp before going to South Africa, but before we go to Zimbabwe we will be in Portugal.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT
