Beat Guinea, grab N50m – Pepsi

Senate President to lead support for Eagles
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have no reason to fail when they
take on their Guinean counterparts in tomorrow’s Africa Cup
of Nations qualifier in Abuja, as support has been pouring in
from all angles.
The latest support is coming from Pepsi, the official beverage
of the African Cup of Nations which yesterday announced a
whopping N50 million winning bonus for the Super Eagles of
Nigeria should they beat the Syli Stars of Guinea.
In addition, a princely some of N100 million for the Super
Eagles players if they can repeat the feat of the Tunisia ’94
Eagles by winning the continental trophy in Gabon and
Equatorial Guinea next year.
Spokesman for Pepsi, Jimi Awosika, said during a press
briefing in Lagos that the N50 million bonus award to the
players was a clarion call to the players to fight for the
honour of their fatherland and ensure that Nigeria’s football
glory was restored.
Awosika, who doubles as the Managing director of Insight
Communications stated in clear terms that the Pepsi N50
million largess was conditional: the Super Eagles must win
and qualify.
