AFCON U20 Qualifiers: Osimhen, Nwakali down Burundi in Calabar


The Nigeria U-20 team, the Flying Eagles are through to the final round of the Africa Cup of Nations for U20s after they completed a double over their Burundian counterparts on Saturday at the U.J Esuene Stadium in Calabar.

The Flying Eagles recorded a 2-1 win to progress on a 3-1 aggregate having also won the first leg last term out in Bunjumbura.

While many thought it would be an easier tie for Coach Emmanuel Amuneke’s side on Saturday, it was never to be as the visitors put up a resilient defensive display and only caved in the 70th minute when Victor Osimhen scored from the penalty spot.

The win for the Flying Eagles was literally sealed in the 80th minute when Captain of the Nigeria team Kelechi Nwakali curled in a beautiful free kick which increased the tally to 2-0.

Though Burundi pulled one back, it was inconsequential as the Flying Eagles marched on are now a game away from securing their berth at the tournament to be staged in Zambia

Every minute spent in a public transport in Lagos gives you unique experiences about life. The memories are meant to be forgotten and only to be recalled when you are smiling down on it from the top because of the awry nature of the numerous occurrences. Below are some of the several awful experiences I have learned to laugh over to ease my frustration: (1) Entering without your change:[/b] Imagine the look on the ever angry-looking conductor when you offer him a sum of N500 or N1000 for a payment of N50 after he must have given you a prior warning before boarding the bus. This could lead to undue attention in the vehicle. [b](2) Sitting with a passenger with an armpit and mouth odour: This is paramount to our ''mommies'' in the in the trading business especially the Igbo women selling Okporoko, Ugwu leaves and other soup ingredients.
