Governor Bello, in his address after the highly entertaining match, noted that such sporting activity was significant being that it would serve as a reminder to Nigerians how united we were as a nation during the glory days of these legends.

Bello added that, as against some elderly ones who were preaching the gospel of disintegration and regional separations, the youth of the nation have jointly affirmed that united they stood against every form of ethnical divisions.

Meanwhile, former Nigeria international Patrick Pascal has gotten a three-bedroom apartment from the Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu when the Super Eagles visited him.

Legit.ng earlier reported that former Nigeria international Henry Nwosu believes Gernot Rohr cannot rank among the best coaches if he does not win the Africa Cup of Nations title.

The German-born tactician came close to winning the title two years ago but fell 2-1 to Algeria in the semifinals and eventually won bronze medal at the end of the competition.

However, he has qualified the Super Eagles for the next edition of the tourney staging in Cameroon but that appears not enough for the 57-year-old who says he can only rate him after such feat.
