At last, a win from nigeria

Well, this is quickly turning into something of a football blog.
The Super Eagles finally managed to save themselves from elimination with a 2-0 win over neighboring Benin republic. This means they have sailed through into the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, and will have to face hosts Ghana.

This has averted what would have been a very embarrassing exit for the Nigerians, and we hope they will learn a lesson from this. We seem to like doing things the hard way.
This performance has restored a bit of our National pride and many Nigerians have found their voices again.
Ivory Coast also beat Mali 3 - 0.

In other news, Wigan Athletic lost to Middlesbrough 1 - 0, while Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League with a 3 - 0 win over Newcastle United. Another round of beautiful football from Arsenal.
