Celebrating Another Victory

This time around justice was done to a well prepared edikang ikong soup with semovita after Nigeria qualified for the final of African Cup of Nations championship by the Eagles of Mali, It was agame of two Eagles but the Super Eagles of Nigeria Caged the Eagles of Mali by beating them 4-1 at the Moses Mahdiba Stadium in Durban. The match ended at 6.00pm Nigerian early enough for the semo to digest properly before bedtime.

Celebrating Super Eagles Victory with....

It couldn't have been better than this celebrating a hard earned victory of Nigerian national team the Super Eagles over the highly rated Elephants of Cote D'Ivoire. It was a kind of David and Goliath thing and we are celebrating today with Bush Meat and Plantain sauce a special delicacy popular with the Efik and Ibibio speaking people of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States of Nigeria. A bottle of very chilled beer goes well with this.
