When a Nigerian National team
scores a goal......Nigerians of all ethnicity and religion will
jump up in jubilation and be screaming one word, one language
in one voice "GOOAALLL!!!". That
moment, we forget
our ethnic & tribalistic sentiments
wether it was scored by an Hausa, an Igbo or a Yoruba man. We love the feelings, we cherish the moments, we adore the players and we sing with one voice....."Up SupervEagles, Up Flying Eagles, Up Golden Eaglets and Up
Green Eagles". When we talk about
those games....we talk about "Nigeria" with one voice.
We always wish Nigeria the best and support Nigeria with our great man power to go all out for the "Glory", for the interest of "One Nigeria". Nigeria can work, Nigeria
can be a better place, Nigeria can
move forward if the Hausa man can support the Yoruba man in
government, if the Yoruba man can
shun every ethnic sentiments and support the administration of the Igbo government. Look at the Golden Eaglets...the Hausa man [YAHAYA] passes the ball to
the Igbo man [IHEANACHO] & the
Igbo man tries and dribbles his way out of the huddles just to set up the Yoruba man [AWONIYI] to score the goal. That one goal that was fought for by the collective responsibility, hard work
and contributions of all the
ethnic Nationality for one common
goal [interest] that
will benefit, elevate and sky rocket
this One Nation to a greater hight and achievement
(s).
We should learn
from this... we are one Nigeria, and
that one greater Nigeria will only be possible if we eschew this our habit of ethnic sentiments and religious bias.
UP GOLDEN EAGLETS, UP UP UPPER. NIGERIA. Against Mexico, victory is ours!!!
