The team was being lodged at Chida International Hotel Utako, to begin preparation for another crucial match with Sudan as the return leg in Abuja. On a normal day, if the eagles are returning, the security operatives always have the challenging of controlling fans, but as of yesterday, the case was different. There was no trace of fans at the hotel yesterday, indicating the unhappiness among the fans towards the players.
Talking to one of the security operatives, he alleged that “There is no problem at all.Unlike in the past where we had problems with football loving fans that came to catch a glimpse of the players, everything is quite peaceful. I don’t think people are even aware that the Eagles have returned to Nigeria and are lodged here”.
A football fan said, “Who cares if the Eagles are lodging in Chida? After the show of shame in Sudan, who is interested in having anything to do with them? Left for me alone, they can stay here for 100 years, I don’t care”. Thus many other thought came in from fans after the disappointment, while super eagles are hoping to turn the situation around on Wednesday.
