“The lesson from the Super Eagles’ class of 2013” Which Nigeria Must Learn – ACN

In an interesting twist to the victory of the Super Eagles at the just concluded AFCON, the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN has opined that if only the country can emulate the national team by fielding only the best individuals in all areas of her national life the country will be better for it.
Congratulating the Super Eagles for winning the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 19 years, the ACN said the victory shows what Nigeria can achieve when it allows talent, rather than mediocrity, to lead the way. A statement issued in Lagos on Monday by the ACN’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the Eagles’ victory shows that transformation does not necessarily have to be an endless quest.
The statement reads in part: “The Super Eagles, who were not among the pre-tournament favourites, won because the coach assembled his team based on talent rather than any extraneous considerations, and also because the team and its technical
crew believe that when there is determination and self-belief, no mountain can be high enough.

“If Nigeria will always field its best eleven in all human endeavours, be it sports, economy or politics, and also allows a visionary rather than a waffling dreamer to lead the team, the country will always be a world beater. That is the lesson from the Super Eagles’ class of 2013,” the party said.
