Yaounde Fans Vow To Boycott Lions Vs Super Eagles Clash
By Nurudeen Obalola in Yaounde





At least 20 people Completesportsnigeria.com has spoken with here in Yaounde have said they will not bother turning up for Monday’s World Cup qualifier between the Indomitable Lions and the Super Eagles.

Enthusiasm for the match was quite high from Tuesday night when Completesportsnigeria.com arrived, most of the fans predicting home and away wins for their darling Lions.

But since Friday when the Super Eagles made mince meat of the Lions with a 4-0 win in Uyo, the boastful fans have been stunned into silence.

Now they are saying they will not come to the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo to cheer their team.

“I love my country very much but no, I’m not going to the stadium,” Arlette, a young lady who works at a supermarket in the Tsinga Quarters, said.

“I’m not interested anymore. Somebody wanted to buy me a ticket, but I said I’m not going anymore. He has also changed his mind.”

Another Yaounde resident, Ameer, one of the receptionists at the Phenix Hotel in Titi Garage, close to the stadium, will not be interested in what is going on about 500 metres away from his work place.

“What’s the point of watching?” asks the bi-lingual Ameer in decent English. “Even if the Lions beat your team on Monday, it makes no difference.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes on Friday, what was wrong with our team? It’s a good thing many people have not bought tickets.”
Emmanuel, the owner of the small bar around Mobil Essos, where Completesportsnigeria.com watched Friday night’s match, still found it hard to stomach the defeat a full 24 hours after.

“How can African champions play like that? So, we won’t be going to Mundial,” the emotional Emmanuel said, his eyes welling up.

“I had so much belief in this team. Remember I told you we’d beat the Super Eagles in Uyo. Now, I don’t care about the result here. I’m not watching. I’ll be supporting Nigeria in the World Cup, your team has already qualified.”

Fanny, a shop attendant at a mobile phone shop at the Casino area of the city centre, simply said she had better things to do than waste time watching the Lions lose again.

“If they lost 4-0 in Nigeria, what makes you think they won’t lose here?” she asked, not expecting an answer.

Almost all the Cameroonians Completesportsnigeria.com spoke with on Saturday said they would not be watching, most of them saying they changed their plans after the first leg.

But two young men said they must watch the Lions anytime they play and want some sort of revenge for the humiliation in Uyo.

“The Lions should at least win here to stop Nigeria from further boasting. Give us some revenge by winning here. I must go to the stadium on Monday,” Bonaventure, who sells socks in the Central Market, said.


Figures for ticket sales have not been released but signs are that the stadium might not be full to its 45,000 capacity on Monday.
Tickets go for from 1,000 FCFA (about N650) to 30,000 FCFA (about N19,500).

The reports that made you start talking in judgmental tones on those party boys.... lemme ask you...did they give you any details of who and who participated and how many they were? Did they tell you it was the whole team??

And ofcos you mentioned "Repeating severally" as if this has happened before many times... and by new boys I mean the young players... I don't mean the oldies... tu comprends? wink

You guys are so good at dropping the "It is wrong" comments but not so good at understanding what it takes to keep a team together... plsss enough of the over flogging. We have a game.


Seems both of us are guilty of conjectures, because you didn't answer my question on only "new boys” participating either smiley

What I meant by “several repetitions” was connotative in meaning. By such I meant that they should at least know that they should be avoiding the parties by now, as professionals they should know the possible implications especially when it was done in “without light” smiley . It is like having an entrepreneur failing to calculate his net and gross profit and knowing the right thing to do the former. Such knowledge is fundamentally required of every entrepreneur, you don't need much directions on that again as an entrepreneur.

As you said, we have other things worth focusing on than this smiley

Super eagles need a left footed victor moses type of player to operate from left wing and make that team enter Qtr finals in Wc proper.

Mikel Obi d new big boss,d dude always remind me of Stephen Keshi.Keshi was instrumental to mass exodus of Nigeria players to Europe in d late 80s and early 90s and was highly respected for showing others d way out.

Mikel has been so influential that most young players always pay tribute,player like Ndidi who said he always happy watching Mikel when he was growing up,still remeber Leon Balogun interview that he was a great admirer of Mikel even before he got invitation to eagles,same thing Mikel Agu.

Also Brown Ideye who said Mikel made it possible for his mega deal to China,ditto to Vic Moses who said Mikel told him not to go on loan again.Haruna Lukman said Obi Mikel my role model.Now Aina said Mikel made it possible for him to commit himself to Nigeria.

This is a good sign of a leader who want d best for d national team.

Seems Mikel leads like the way he plays: calm but purposeful. He should be given National honours. Let me regale you with this anecdote. Prior to Finland 2003 as is usually the case when there's a new kid on the block, news was flying around this new sensation called Mikel Obi. So the tournament began and at our first match everyone was anxious to see the stuff Mikel was made of. Well, some minutes into the match or so, my friend's father said: na wa ooo, Mikel, Mikel, dem no let us rest, I no see wetin him dey play, nobody dey even play for this team sef, na only that number10. His children now replied: na Mikel be the number 10 na!!

That his calmness cost us that 2014 WC 2nd round game against France. He was the player closest to the action when Matuidi rough tackled Onazi. Mikel's exaggerated expression and protest could have earned Matuidi a straight red. But instead he just calmly took possession of play to continue play as if nothing happened.

He's not very confrontational naturally, I guess that's why he didn't react like that.... Besides there are no guarantees that France being one-man down would have dismantled them. Shey Zambia still won Algeria despite Sakala's red?

Actually no one expected Eagles to win so convincingly but it's not over until it's finally over.

We need to avoid doing permutations, and I think winning at Yaounde gonna give us the Lifeline.

The Lads should have waited till after the Monday Match..... even getting a Point in Yaounde would worth celebrating.

As per the Lineup......!

.........................Ezenwa.........................

Shehu....... Balogun........ Ekong........ Aina

.......... Ndidi................ Onazi..................

VicMo................. Mikel.....................Moses

........................ Ighalo............................

I pray for a Victory in Yaounde!

I could easily see this being the line up in Younde, it's apparent that Echiejile is the weak link. His lack of pace in the face of pacy wingers caused a lot of jitters.

But this is a short term solution. We do need a natural left footed quality player, I suspect we will be announcing a new one in two weeks time.

Worry not.
