Nigerian thespian and clergyman, Pastor Jimmy Odukoya, extends a heartfelt plea to the Cameroonian populace, urging their unwavering support for Nigeria in the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON). The impassioned appeal follows the Super Eagles’ triumphant elimination of Cameroon in a riveting round of 16 clash last Saturday, marked by the stellar performance and two goals by Ademola Lookman.
In a poignant video shared on his social media channels, Odukoya, expressing solidarity, assures Cameroonians of his prayers for their resurgence in future tournaments. He empathetically conveys, “To my Cameroonian family, I pray that the Lord will give you peace. I’m rooting for you as you sojourn on for the next AFCON.”
Despite the competitive spirit on the field, Odukoya’s magnanimity shines through as he shares a touch of camaraderie, stating, “I was looking forward to enjoying Cameroonian pepper; I will still eat it in solidarity. You guys are lions and you are going to be lions at heart. So we are still all in this.”
In a unifying gesture, he calls on Cameroonians to rally behind Nigeria in their quarterfinal quest, emphasizing that the bond transcends the field of play. Odukoya concludes with an uplifting sentiment: “Now that we’ve beat you, support us as we go on to the quarterfinals. But know that I’m praying for you. This is not the end for Cameroon. You will come back. I love you; we are all one family.”
Looking ahead, Nigeria is poised to face Angola in a riveting quarterfinal encounter scheduled for Friday, February 2, 2023.
