Two time African footballer of the year, Kanu Nwankwo has hailed the Super Eagles for their qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations slated for South Africa in 2013.
Kanu a veteran of the Nations Cup himself made his views known at the U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar in a chat with Goal.com shortly after the completion of the encounter between the Eagles and Liberia which ended 6-1 in favour of Nigeria.
A joyful Kanu stressed that he was happy to be part of those that witnessed the Eagles deliver the Nations Cup ticket after the sour ending to the 2012 campaign when they missed out on a place to the Syli Stars of Guinea in front of their vociferous fans in Abuja.
