The qualification for the Eagles is coming early despite one more game to play in the qualifying series against Seychelles in March.
The Super Eagles since winning the 2013 edition of the AFCON failed to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 editions.
After five games, they now have 10 points, with one game more to be played.
Having been beaten 2-0 in the reverse game played in Uyo, the Eagles came for revenge in Johannesburg and they started quite badly.
The could have gotten the lead early on when stand-in skipper Ahmed Musa interchanged passes with Kelechi Iheanacho before releasing a curler which was brilliantly taken by goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune in the sixth minute of play.
The opening goal for Nigeria came through an own goal from Buhle Mkhwanazi. The defender deflected Samuel Kalu’s cross past his own goalkeeper.

Percy Tau should have equalised for Bafana Bafana almost immediately but his fine move was punctured by Kalu.

It did not take too long for the equalizer to come for the South Africans as they were back on level terms in the 26th minute as Man-of-the-match, Tau, sliced through the Eagles’ defence before unselfishly setting up Lebo Mothiba who tucked home to an open net.
As in the first half, the second stanza got off to a rather slow start. There were few chances for either side in the opening 10 minutes.
There was a bright chance for Nigeria later in the game but it was Omeruo who squandered as the centre-back headed wide from close range.
Musa got the ball in the back of the net following a defence-splitting pass from Iwobi, but the assistant’s flag was raised for offside in the 84th minute which television replays suggest it was a faulty call.
While Nigeria was denied the win they wanted, they would be glad to have achieved the primary assignment of qualifying for the 2019 AFCON with one game to spare

THE YORUBA HISTORY (SANGO --- GOD OF THUNDER)

Image
Sango was a royal ancestor of the Yoruba as he was the third king of the Oyo Kingdom. He succeeded Ajaka, son of Oranmiyan. His symbol is a double-headed axe, which represents swift and balanced justice. Mythologically, he (and 14 others) burst forth from the goddess Yemaja’s body after her son, Orungan, attempted to rape her for the second time. In another set of stories, Sango is the son of Aganju and Obatala. As the story goes, Obatala, the king of the white cloth was travelling and had to cross a river. Aganju, the ferryman and god of fire, refused him passage so Obatala retreated and turned into a woman and traded his/her body for passage (this would later become a conspiracy theory about homosexuality existing even in the days of old). This tension between reason represented by Obatala and Aganju would form the foundation of Sango’s particular character and nature. Sango was said to have went in search of Aganju on which he had to throw himself into a lake of burning fire...
