Pastor Odumeje, the presiding pastor of the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, stated that he doesn’t really care whether the Super Eagles of Nigeria win the African Cup of Nations or not; what he cares about is for them to get signed by a good football club. He further stated that his prayer for the Super Eagles players is for them to get international recognition so that they can bring their families out of poverty, because once the AFCON finishes, Nigerians will forget the Super Eagles.
Speaking further in a video posted on Facebook, Pastor Odumeje stated that the main reason Nigerians want the Super Eagles to win the African Cup of Nations is because they want to use the victory to make fun of other African countries, especially Ghana.
According to him, “Forget about the African Cup of Nations; let me tell you the truth: there is nothing about the AFCON. The only thing I pray for is for the Super Eagles players to get a good football club that will sign them so that they can help their families. That’s the only thing I pray for.”
