It’s the 11th of February, Nigeria won the Africa
Nations Cup Yesterday Night. Why is that significant? You might ask, it is
because it’s a story.
- · It’s a story of eagles ridiculed to be chickens but they had to show the world that they could soar
- · It’s a story of a boy called Moses who despite losing his family to the crisis in a country comes back to make that country proud and give some hope to its people
- · It’s a story of a people who have long waited to be able to raise their heads high again and say that we are a people who are many and for this reason have the talents, skill, ambition and strength in numbers to call ourselves GIANTS OF AFRICA
- · It’s a story of how a little victory in a game like soccer can spark hope for tomorrow in the hearts and minds of 170 million people.
So, you see it’s more than a football match; it’s a
nation’s story.
A story of
- · Triumph in crisis
- · Hope in hopelessness
- · Faith in the midst of every kind of doubt
- · Strength in being beat down
- · Unity when we have one goal in mind
So,
Who said?
- · I can’t build success in these trenches?
- · We can’t be one as a people?
- · We are nothing without our oil?
- · We are not a nation?
Today, the only answer I can give you is here and now, we
have found a voice. This victory is our Answer.
God Bless Nigeria
