Nigeria: Mikel, Okwuosa Highlight Eagles First Training Session

 
Calabar — Despite flight hiccups from Lagos to Calabar and Abuja to Calabar, only nine Super Eagles players missed the maiden training session of the team ahead of Saturday's clash against Ethiopia in the Canaan City of Calabar.
By Monday afternoon, Head Coach, Stephen Keshi has led all members of the technical crew and other
officials into the city now described as Nigeria and Africa's number one tourism destination. Few hours later, Chippa United of South Africa central defender, James Okwuosa arrived camp to become the first player from outside the shores of Nigeria to arrive.
Team Scribe Dayo Enebi Achor, had said after Okwuosa's arrival that all other players were already in the country and he was praying for flight to be on schedule to Calabar so that all of them will be at the first training session of the team. He was dead on point. Immediately after lunch yesterday, John Mikel Obi came in with John Ogu and MLS star, Bright Dike. Everybody was getting animated.
Few minutes later Victor Moses arrived, Godfrey Oboabona too, Nnamdi Oduamadi remained the good boy he has always been and just as training commenced Elderson Echejile joined his mates at the UJ Esuene Stadium. Add that to the five home based stars that opened camp on Monday and you will know how happy camp has been.
