Super Eagles skipper, Joseph Yobo has
deliberately refused to mark his 32nd
birthday, preferring to wait
after the Lone Star game on Saturday in Liberia before doing that.
On Thursday in Abuja,
Yobo, was shocked when a
birthday cake was made for him by team officials and Head Coach led
other
officials and players with songs for the Fernabahce of Turkey towering
defender.
Immediately after rendering the happy birthday song, Deputy
skipper,
Vincent Enyeama, said Yobo should on behalf of his mates make a thank
you
speech before the cake is shared. Yobo simply declared that he was
delighted to
be in camp with his mates to be marking a birthday and requested for a
special
birthday gift from his teammates.
“The biggest birthday cake I can get from you
guys is resounding victory and I can assure you that when we get back to
Nigeria we can then throw a party and celebrate”, Yobo said. His mates
promised
that they will not let him down when Enyeama again replied on their
behalf and
prayers were said not only for Yobo at 32 but for the victory of the
team against
Liberia.
