The Eagles has landed.

Nigerians welcome Nations
Cup winners home
Nigeria's football team have returned home
to a rapturous reception following their
Africa Cup of Nations triumph.
Thousands were at Abuja's airport to greet
the team, who beat Burkina Faso 1-0 in
Sunday's final in Johannesburg.
There was a thunderous roar when the
squad emerged from the airport terminal to
enter their bus, said the BBC's Chris Ewokor
in the Nigerian capital.
The players will spend Tuesday evening
attending an official function with President
Goodluck Jonathan.
Despite the fact that no public holiday had
been declared, crowds turned out in huge
numbers to line the streets as the team
travelled from the airport to Abuja's city
centre.
"The mood is electric. Many people are
wearing the national colours of green and
white, while some are wearing hats
sporting pictures of the Super Eagles," our
reporter said.
After plenty of expectation ahead of
previous Nations Cup tournaments, Nigeria's
triumph was unexpected by most fans - an
emotion which made the success all the
more enjoyable.
"I am very excited," said Godwin Orinyo,
who had travelled to the airport to greet the
team.
"The final was so sweet and I was so happy
afterwards that I couldn't sleep. My mum
almost collapsed she was so happy. Today is
too sweet - I am overjoyed."
Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo led the
squad off the plane after it touched down
on Nigerian soil with the trophy on board.
Many eyes were also on coach Stephen
Keshi, who initially quit after the triumph in
protest at his working relationship with
officials from the Nigeria Football
Federation.
After Sports Minister Bolaji Abdullahi
intervened to help resolve the row following
talks that lasted into early Tuesday morning
in South Africa, the NFF released a
statement from Keshi in which the coach
had 'reconsidered his position'.
Should the former Nigeria captain, who also
won the trophy as a player in 1994,
continue in his post, he will try to lead the
Super Eagles to the 2014 World Cup as well
as to Confederations Cup glory in Brazil in
June
