Super Eagles Say Okowa’s Incentive Will Bring Down Bafana Bafana Of South Africa.

The Super Eagles has praised Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State for his incentive of $25,000 for every goal in Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying cracker against South Africa, admitting the incentive will motivate the team to fire from every cylinder.

While visiting the team at its evening training session on Tuesday, in company with President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, Okowa pledged the sum of $25,000 for every goal scored by the three –time African champions in the crucial tie.

With the Eagles having lost their first –ever competitive match against the Bafana Bafana on Matchday 1 of the series in Uyo 17 months ago, and with the added pull of qualifying for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a match to spare, Okowa’s cash pledge came in ample time to stoke the fire in the Nigerian boys further.

The soft –spoken Okowa said: “I am pleased to have the Super Eagles here in Asaba. We hope you make Asaba your home, and as a people we will begin to follow your progress even more closely.  

We appreciate the giant strides Nigerian Football is making and commend the leadership of the NFF for making Delta State part of its success story. For every goal scored by the Super Eagles in Johannesburg on Saturday, we pledge a reward of $25,000. Please don’t put a limit to the number of goals you score on Saturday; try and score as many as possible.”
