Finally Nigeria has qualified for the quarter finals of the nations cup.
They thrashed Benin 2-0 while cote d'ivorie thrashed Mali 3-0.
Nigeria's goals came from Mikel Obi and Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Yakubu's goal was supplied by Mikel)
Had Nigeria been ousted at the first stage CAF would have lost a lot of money in terms of TV broadcast revenue,so also will the sponsors,MTN.
Now Nigeria will face Ghana in the toughest match predicted in the Nations cup.
The statistics favour Nigeria over Ghana. Nigeria almost always beats Ghana in tournaments and draw with them in friendlies and qualifying matches.
Amma here is where the matsala is:Ghana is playing at home sannan kuma the crowd tirnout will not be very high with Ghana out of the tourney.....so CAF has a problem.
