AFCON 2013:
"EAGLES WEY DEY CHOP ELEPHANT!"
Yesterday, Sunday third of February 2013 in South Africa, I witnessed
firsthand how to prepare ELEPHANT PEPPER SOUP!
It was an appetizer for soccer loving Nigerians that have hungered to
see their chef, the SUPER EAGLES, whip up something so enticing that the
distance between South Africa and Nigeria could not stop them from savoring.
There were those of us, myself, chief among them, who had
believed that the only meal available on the menu was SUPER FRIED CHICKEN. But, behold it was proven in the kitchen of a
South African stadium that the elephants are bad cooks. It takes the eagle eye precision of a chef
like Emmanuel Emenike to strike an elephant down and the dexterous display of
another eagle like Sunday Mba to garnish the thick skinned elephants for a sumptuous
meal .
The super eagles along with soccer loving Nigerians in their
number had a feast of ELEPHANT PEPPER SOUP!
We ate our full like we had not done since Atlanta 1996. 
In the fullness of the feasting, mouth oiled with delicious
elephant meat, I still could not help but harbor some worry. And it comes in the form of a caution. For everything that has some advantages,
there is a disadvantage. In other words,
I pray that the feasting of our eagles on a meal as gigantic as elephants would
not cause their belly to rumble with constipation that would weigh them down to
fumble on their remaining flights to lift the long elusive prestigious Africa
Cup of Nations trophy!
What next do we have on our menu come Wednesday? We’ll let our Super Eagles decide!
Until then, with the taste of elephant pepper soup still fresh
on our taste glands and diluted with the dark rum only served at the table of
elders, I cannot help but shout UP SUPER EAGLES!
