EX-INTERNATIONAL THOMPSON OLIHA IS DEAD!!!

Former Nigerian Ex-International Thompson Oliha reportedly died this morning in Ilorin, Kwara State. 

The gentleman footballer gave up the ghost very early this morning, Sunday, June 30, 2013 at about 4.05am, at the Yusjib Industrial Medicare Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State. He was a member of the Super Eagles Africa Nations Cup winning Squad of Tunisia 1994. 

Born on October 4, 1968, Mr. Oliha would have clocked 45 in October of this year, if not for his untimely death. He apparently slumped inside the toilet and was immediately rushed to the hospital by his wife Irish Oliha, but he had given up the ghost before help could come his way. 

He was the head coach of the Kwara Football Academy (KFA) in Ilorin, Kwara State as at the time of his death.  No information yet on what could be the probable cause of death.

May the soul of the dearly departed rest in peace!

NOW THE SUPER IN THE EAGLES IS JUSTIFIED

THE CUP AT LAST......

MBA ON CLOUD 9

KESHI TAKES THE CUP

THE MAN & THE GOAL THAT MADE IT HAPPEN

It's so good we never gave them any chance. Thank God we didn't jinx them with our supports. This is one of the best times to be a Nigerian. The boys went, saw and they conquered against all odds.

We sincerely congratulate them from the bottom of our hearts. At least for the next few days, the whole Nation's attention would be shifted to the discussions on our win.  A respite sort of for many of our politicians. 

Most especially we congratulate our beloved captain- Joseph Yobo. This is a good crowning glory after all these years. The longest serving player in Nigeria's history lifted the cup after a hard fought victory over the very resilient Burkinabes. 

Congratulations again boys!!!It took 19 good years for us to win our 3rd Nations Cup and it is well worth it. 

Now let's plan ahead for the World Cup in Brazil.  You just don't know? Anything can happen, impossible is nothing!
