LESSONS TO LEARN FROM THE JUST CONCLUDED AFCON TOURNAMENT.

No the the AFCON 2023 has come and gone, the following are Lessons that we allust take away thereoff.

🚩Nigerians did not really believe in the ability of Super Eagles to perform to the point of reaching final. This is simply because of our recent records in football. But it turned out that they reached the final. Infact, except for their first game, they can be rated as one of the successful teams in the tournament.

📌 It's not all about what people say about you that defines you. What you think about yourself is important. Don't allow the assumption of people to define your life. Rise above the perception of people.

🚩Ivory Coast can be described as a team that rose from ashes to glory. They were the best loser in the group stage but rose to the final and became the winner. Despite loosing to Nigeria Super Eagles at the group stage but defeated her in the final.

📌 Don't allow your past to hunt you down that you give in life. Successful people are not people without painful experience. No! Successful people are people with many scars on their body. That Satan defeated yesterday doesn't mean you can not win the battle against him today. Use the right armour and you can be victorious over him.

🚩There is nothing like defending champion. Senegal were trashed out of the tournament like others too. Some of the big teams were trashed out too. Where is Egypt, Tunisia, Ghana,  Algeria, Morocco etc. They suffered terrible defeat.

📌I won it in the past is not a guarantee that you will win it now. Treat with caution. No monopoly of success in life.

Congratulations Ivory Coast...

Congratulations South Africa 🇿🇦 

Amd most importantly, congratulations to the Nigeria Super Eagles!
