Nigerian team welcome Government Delegation

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are receiving the boost necessary to ensure they have a smooth sail over their Iranin counterpart come Monday June 16 in Curitiba.

The African Champions have been received well by the Brazillian community and the Nigerian community resident in Brazil.

The boys who recently ignited fears in the mind of Nigerians with threats to boycott the match against Iran over money issues with the NFF have been visited by a national delegation from the Nigerian Government.

We have our blogger in Brazil, who follows the team everywhere while they remain in the World Cup and he writes that the camp has been agog with the visit of a presidential delegation led by the senate president Senator David Mark, in the company of some state governors, notably Cross rivers state Governor Liyel Imkoe who has been an avid supporter of the Super Eagles and other top dignitaries from the Country's House of Reps and Senate; the Minister for Sports Dr. Tammy Danagogo has been with the team almost as they arrived Brazil.

The dignitaries conveyed the goodwill message of Nigerians to the players and that of the President, they also urged the team to go all out against Iran on Monday and fly the green white green flag high after 90 minutes of play.

The Senate President, David Mark emphasized on the importance of the team's success as a factor in the country, stating that the victory of the team will make them forget their problems or religious differences. He assured the team of Government's support and also charged the team and officials to bring the trophy to Nigeria as they did the African Championship last year.

At this time of political unrest and ethnical issues arising within and around Nigeria, the victory of the Super Eagles cannot be over emphasized, furthermore, reciprocation of the feat Netherland had over World Champions Spain would in a way quench the tensed polity and ethnic unbalance currently besettling the Nigerian mind.
