This week one of the shinning lights from the 1992 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, Friday Ekpo said after his countrymen, Nigeria's Super Eagles, tore to shreds the form book to reach the last four at the expense of pre-tournament favourites, Cote d'Ivoire.
.
He talks on his former teammate, Stephen Keshi, now head coach of the Nigerian squad and the famous win over Cote d'Ivoire Elephants as well as on the performance of the home boys, Sunday Mba and Godfrey Obaobona and the national team's rebuilding process.
.
Ekpo, 43, believes the win against the Elephants was no fluke and said in an interview '' In the game of football you don't write off your opponents until the game is over. The Super Eagles showed their inner strength by digging deep to win in the face of criticism. At times, the quality of your opponents can raise your game and that was what happened ''.
.
'' I'm happy they are in the semifinals now. So the work doesn't end with defeating the Ivorians ''.
