Nigeria's most capped footballer, Joseph Yobo has played his last game for the Super Eagles at the Africa Cup of Nations.
.
Yobo made his 96th appearance for the Eagles on Sunday as the Nigerians beat West African rivals, Burkina Faso 1-0 at the National Stadium, Johannesbourg to claim a third Afcon title.
.
The 32-year-old reckons he has played his last game at the Afcon for Nigeria and is prepared to step aside for the 'new generation'.
.
'' I had said it earlier that South Africa 2013 would be my last Afcon not because i cannot play any longer but because i have realised that i have given it a lot of time '', Yobo said at a press conference.
.
'' I was praying to God before i came here that hopefully this would be last tournament and that i was going to win it ''.
