Uyo again!!!!! Don\u2019t be alarmed this time as it\u2019s the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against the Benin Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a team with our former coach Gernot Rohr, so, hopefully, it\u2019s not a case of an angry ex (he already beat us during the World Cup Qualifiers, the anger of an ex knows no bounds sometimes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to my gist, Uyo again, this time the hotel I was lodged in was amazing. The last time I was in this town I stayed in a semi-poultry, as the room was that bad. A toilet is supposed to be a peaceful place where you connect with nature, but that toilet was a portal to hellfire, I could communicate with the devil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well back to my Uyo story, after settling down on Friday it was time for lunch, our destination was Discovery Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovery Park gave vibes of food & nature. It was like a properly cleaned and used Isaac Boro Park. I placed an order for Afang Soup, it was one of the best I had eaten in a long time (I shared tears of joy while eating).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough of my food tales even though I missed the first press conference because of food. It was supposed to be the Benin Republic press conference, but I made up with the Nigeria press conference. This time I got my press tag, it wasn\u2019t without stress or arguments I don\u2019t know why Nigerians have to struggle every time for things that should be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The press conference was quick, I made content for social media and we returned to the hotel, where I ate like a bandit. Have you tried Suya and bread with juice? It is a heavenly combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday morning, the rain in Uyo woke me up. Every time I come here it always rains, I don\u2019t know how the seasons work here but I think it\u2019s more rain than sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, this is where I drop my keyboard as it is time to go see what the Super Eagles have in store for Nigerians today, Loss, Draw or Win only 90 minutes can tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
