Bolaji Abdullahi, Nigeria’s minister of sports, has offered a bonus
of $100,000 (16 million Naira) to the Super Eagles on the condition they defeat Ghana
in the semi final of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) to be played on Wednesday.
With a similar incentive in their quarter final game, Nigeria came
from a 3-0 first half deficit to defeat Morocco 4-3 after extra time in
Cape Town last Saturday.
Abdullahi said “if the boys qualify for the final and go
ahead to win the trophy, they can be confident that a grateful nation
will remember for a long time to come that they, with typical Nigerian
grit and determination, have extended our dominance of African
football.”
With an average of three goals per game, Nigeria will go against
Ghana who have scored just four goals so far (three from the penalty
spot) and have conceded just once.
The last time both teams met at senior continental level, Ghana ran out 1-0 winners at the 2010 AFCON in Angola.
