Nigeria/Ethiopia: Nigerians Hail Eagles' Victory Against Ethiopia's Antelopes \

Abuja — Nigerians across the country have continued to hail the Super Eagles 2-1 victory against the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on Sunday.
Enugu State Director of Sports, Mr Edwin Eze, told reporters that the match was an explosive one in which the Nigerian players showed their supremacy.
"Coming from behind in a high altitudinal area like Ethiopia and winning the match is wonderful, that shows how determined the players are to make Brazil 2014," Eze said.
Eze particularly praised Mikel Obi's performance in the match, adding that he was the man of the match.
"From what we saw in Addis Ababa, Ethiopians should forget Brazil 2014 and dream of long distance race."
Eze said the Super Eagles proved their mettle and supremacy over the Walya Antelopes.
Commenting on the match, Monday Odigie, Chief Coach of Rangers International FC of Enugu, said he was happy that Nigeria won the first leg.
Odigie expressed optimism that the Eagles Technical Team would finish the job in Calabar with ease, saying football was all about 90 minutes of fun.
"From the team's performance in Ethiopia, we will beat the Walya Antelopes in Calabar come November 16" Odigie said.
He recalled that the Eagles had not lost a match since the Brazil 2014 qualifying matches began, adding that it showed the players meant business.
Odigie praised Mikel for his wonderful performance and urged him to keep it up.
Mr Augustine Ezenwata, a football enthusiast, said there was the need for the Eagles to rout the Ethiopians in Calabar for their stubbornness in Addis Ababa.
"Although we have qualified even with the result, but the Ethiopians still need to be taught a lesson in Calabar for trying to wrestle with the African Champions" Ezenwata said.
Reacting to the Super Eagles victory, Joe Erico, Henry Nwosu, Christian Chukwu and Paul Hamilton, former coaches of the the Super Eagles Falcon, hailed the team for defeating the Walya Antelope of Ethiopia.
