| AFCON 2023 semi final: Nigeria V South Africa |
The Letter:
Dear South Africans,
The speculation going around is that the lives of Nigerians living in South Africa are at risk if Bafana loses to the Nigerian team,the Super Eagles.
Violence,lawlessness and thuggery should not continue to be a recurring decimal in the relationship between us.Apart from the history of our unflinching support for your freedom,presently,your country has much more in stock and at stake in Nigeria than we do in http://SA.In the spirit of sportsmanship and African Brotherhood,AFCON should strengthen the bond between us rather than being the source of another spectre of hatred and violence meted against Nigerians residing in SA.
Long Live Africa.
Nigeria will slug it out with South Africa in the AFCON 2023 semi final on Wednesday 7 February, 2024 at 18:00 (WAT) at Stade Bouaké.
