Forget nationalistic pride, Nigeria’s Super Eagles have been gifted their greatest motivation yet with the Association of Nigerian Prostitutes (ANP) promising a week of free sex should they take out the African Nations Cup. It’s been an expectation defying tournament for the Nigerian national team who upset the highly fancied Ivory Coast to book their place in the semi-finals. With the greatest week of their lives a football mad nation to play for, expect the surge to continue.
“We want to congratulate the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, for qualifying for the next round of the competition.
We want to assure them of our usual support and partnership, we want them to bring back our lost glory in football,”
a statement from ANP secretary Jessica Elvis said.“To show our support for the national team, we’ll be declaring one week free sex if the Super Eagles can win the trophy.”
Traditionally one of Africa’s stronger footballing nations, the national squad hit rock bottom in the wake of a disastrous 2010 World Cup campaign which prompted Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathon to ban the team from international competition for two years. Conventional sports theory suggests that a renewed focus on the training pitch is the best remedy for such a form slump but Nigeria’s recent resurgence can be attributed to hard work behind the scenes with reports confirming that members of the ANP have been ‘supporting‘ the team on their recent travels.
We suspect the wives and girlfriends will be hoping for a swift exit from the competition when the Super Eagles take on Mali in Durban tonight.
