…As Igiebor, Uche link up
Real Betis of Spain midfielder, Nosa Igiebor and Villareal’s striker, Ikechukwu Uche, yesterday joined the Super Eagles fold ahead of the international friendly against Catalonia Selected today. Celtic’s Rabiu Ibrahim was also part of the party that joined the Eagles for the only training session that the team had yesterday before the match.
There were fears that Igiebor might not make the team, when he failed to arrive Faro, Portugal as arranged with Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, but immediately evaporated when he appeared in camp yesterday afternoon, as the team landed in Barcelona.
The team departed its Browns Resort and Sports Centre camp on schedule at 4a.m, Portuguese time, which is 5a.m, Nigerian time, but experienced some little delay at the Faro Airport, but eventually arrived Lisbon at some minutes after 9a.m. The flight took just 35minutes. After immigration formalities, the team set out for Barcelona and arrived the city at about 11:20am Nigeria and Spanish time.
The flight lasted 1:30minutes Officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Spain led by Head of Chancery, Mr Safiu Olaniyan, Deputy Consul General, Mr. Nze Nnadi, Curtis Aghedo, who is President Nigerian Union in Barcelona, Kingsley Lawal, President Nigerians in Valles and Gbenga Adegoke Scribe of Nigerians in Valles, were on hand to receive the team at the magnificent Barcelona International Airport. There were also about 20 Nigerian football supporters who were at the airport to bid the team welcome.
The team was immediately moved to the equally eye-popping Hotel Fira Palace in the heart of Barcelona, where they were addressed by Mr Olaniyan on behalf of the Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, Amb. Bianca Olivia Odimegwu Ojukwu, who was unavoidably absent, owing to other engagements. In her speech, Ambassador Ojukwu described the national team as the higher grade of ambassadors of Nigeria and urged the players to go all out and do the country proud in the friendly against Catalonia and at the upcoming Nations Cup in South Africa.
She said she was aware that the government of President Goodluck Jonathan was solidly behind the team to achieve success at the Afcon tourney as football is a major unifying force in Nigeria. Keshi said he was humbled by the kind words of the ambassador and assured that the Super Eagles would do all within their powers to defend the green white green colours of the nation at all times. “We promise never to let the confidence and trust of the nation down at all times”, he said.

Very good inspirational words by our able ambassador mrs Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Auntie Bianca, we have not heard anything again about the story of your step daughter Tenny Hamman (Her real name is Hajiya Tani Hamman) mentioned in the Will of your late husband. We learned she is in Kaduna with her mother, the wife of Late Alhaji Hamman.
Come to think of it, the press have killed the story, because it is an abomination in the Igboland for an Ikemba to have a Muslim daughter. Tufiakwa.
