Maigari Dedicates Victory To Nigerians.

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari, has dedicated Super Eagles victory to Nigerians.

 Maigari, who claimed that Eagles performance on Wednesday match was magnificent, insisted that the Super Eagles must keep their heads and focus on the Final match because the team cannot afford to disappoint President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday.

 Sunday’s will be Nigeria’s seventh appearance in the Final of the Africa Cup of Nations, in 17 appearances. They have won twice (1980 and 1994) and finished as runners-up in 1984, 1988 (both to Cameroon), 1990 (to Algeria) and 2000 (again, to Cameroon).

 Also on Sunday, Head Coach Stephen Keshi, who captained the victorious Nigeria team in 1994, has the opportunity of becoming the only man alive to have won the Africa Cup of Nations both as player and as Coach.

The only other person, Egyptian Mahmoud al-Gohary, who won as player in 1959 and as coach in 1998, died last year.
