Eagles victory: I saw it coming – Kalu

Former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, was a bundle of confidence as Nigeria fought from behind to nail Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on Sunday in a World Cup qualifier.
Kalu said in his Lagos home at the end of the clash: “I was so sure the Ethiopians would fall.
“My pre-match prediction was that the Eagles were unstoppable.
“You saw how they electrocuted their opponents.”
The ex-governor had even calmed nerves when the going got tough, emphasising that Nigeria would pick a late goal.
Kalu added: “I saw a late goal coming.
“When most of my guests were panting, you noticed I was enjoying myself.
“I sensed the Eagles would grab the winner in the last minute.
“And that came to pass.”
Kalu had told compatriots that Ethiopia would concede two goals like their club side, Electric Company, did to Enugu Rangers in the 1977 Mandela Cup.
One of his guests said: “Your Excellency, you will make a good soccer professor.”
“No,” Kalu replied, adding: “I am just a follower of the game.”
