Congratulations to the Super Eagles on a well-deserved victory over South Africa, tonight. You represent the resilient and indomitable Nigerian spirit. Two more victories, and the coveted Trophy will come home to us. All Nigerians are looking forward eagerly.

At last, something to be proud of again! MIGHTY Nigeria floors South Africa! Our boys did it! Chukwueze and Ekong did it! They slaughter our people in SA but we tore off their @BafanaBafana pants in Cairo! Well done boys! Proud of our @NGSuperEagles! #SuperEagles#BafanaBafana pic.twitter.com/YkbvAeU7a6

The PDP says the unity and solidarity exhibited by Nigerians, from all divides, in supporting our national team, show that our compatriots truly love their nation and are willing to work together despite the machinations of disruptive forces seeking to divide them.

1)Musa "owns" the left flank in the @NGSuperEagles
2)Etebo and Ndidi can cage any team in the World
3)Chukwueze is the man!
4)Akpeyi doesn't inspire confidence

South Africa players sang their way from the bus into the stadium. Nigeria players will sing from the stadium all the way to the bus. That’s how stars do. #NGARSA
