RandaFooty: Everything Nigerian football, home and abroad

Even Tuface wasn't impressed. I haven ’t been able to pen down my diaries for almost three days because I've been mentally exhausted for that period. Nigeria’s loss to Argentina made things worse and then I suffered food poisoning because I ate some local Naija rice and topped it up with some chicken wings from KFC. Omo, I no fit sleep. The shit wey I shit no be here sha. Feel free to laugh but I wish you same per what you are laughing at right now. I had to go get fluids to replace what I had lost. Ademola Olajire was very helpful and linked me up with a doctor but by then I was feeling better and elected not to take any other drugs again. No be for Russia I go come sick. Back to the matter.

I've been really tired and stressed out of recent so penning a diary was kinda difficult. I'm sorry again this is coming late. A kinda summary but I do hope you enjoy reading this piece. So we did the fan fest thing with Tobi Adepoju, Deji Adegbenro and Aro Olaoluwa and it was a massive hit. I wonder why we didn ’t think of going for such events in the first place. It was all fun as we met with a lotta folks from different countries.

Former Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Senator Goodwill Akpabio is excited with the performance of Super Eagles of Nigeria, even as he revealed what happened to him in   Volgograd arena, where super eagles recorded their first Group D victory at the ongoing Russia 2018 FIFA world. Gongnews.net caught up with the distinguished senator of the federal republic of Nigeria at Volgograd international airport as he was leaving for another city in Russia,  Moscow. "I feel very excited witnessing the first victory of super eagles in Russia. although the first half was flooded with errors coming back from the first half Recess I saw a new super eagles who were  more purposeful to make Nigeria proud as good ambassadors" says Akpabio  Akpabio also revealed that he was so enthralled by the goals that he fell off his seat. " Out of excitement, I actually  fell on the floor and I had to be supported back to my feet immediately I knew the t...

FRANCIS UZOHO: Showed composure for the entire duration of the match.  Charged at his defence and co-ordinated them properly.  Kept us in the game especially  in the first half. 7 LEON BALOGUN: Played with maturity and seems to improve with each game.  Surged forward on some occasions . 6

Recording and then the wind messed up things The past few days has been one of fun and anguish all mixed in one bowl of Russian cold and wind. I ’ve managed to explore the areas around my hotel so right now I know where to go to get what I need. I managed to also show some folks where they can do their shopping and get the nearest thing to jollof rice which is our stable meal for now. A very wise Nigerian in St. Petersburg decided to start cooking for Nigerians which I thought was a good gesture but here is the catch. A plate of semovita and egusi soup costs the equivalent of N8,000. No, I’m not joking. 8 taaasannd!!!.

Sorry this is coming a bit late. A video chronicling Nigeria's loss to Croatia and how the other African countries have fared in the World Cup. Since I recorded, Morocco lost 1-0 to Portugal and before that Egypt were roasted 3-1 by hosts Russia. The result meant both sides are effectively out of the tournament. Senegal were able to restore some African pride by defeating Poland 2-1 on Tuesday. Nigeria will be up against Iceland on Friday in a must win game and I'll be there to work and also cheer them. Do take a listen and don't forget to drop your thoughts on Nigeria so far at Russia 2018. Follow me on Twitter @RandaAndrew and let's take the conversation there. #SoarSuperEagles
