President Jonathan has promised to
travel to Brazil to watch the Super
Eagles live if they make it to the
quarter-final stage of the 2014 World
Cup. Nigeria will play France in the
Round of 16 tomorrow Monday June
30th (5pm Nigerian time) and if they
beat France, GEJ and some members of
his govt will travel to Brazil to watch
their next match.
This was revealed by Super Eagles
captain, Joseph Yobo, who said the
additional incentive from the president
has motivated the players to beat
France at all cost. Nigeria has never
reached the quarter-final stage of any
World Cup
"He assured us when he called that he's
behind us and if we beat France and
qualify for the quarter-final, he will
come and visit us and watch the next
game. That's a very big motivation for us
to know that the president will come and
visit us. It's better than money and we
are determined to go there and fight
and give our best. It's a morale booster."
