This gist is coming late, but I hope we can have fun with the THREAD.

2016 CHAN in Rwanda. Recap of the things that happened behind the scenes.

I took my time to search for pictures as well.

It was the second time Super Eagles B (NPFL Stars) will qualify for the tournament.

@PowerfulFJ, I wish to make the gist short https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">.

I missed 2014 CHAN in South Africa & this tournament was all my dream in 2016.

As journalist (Reporter like me), coverage of live football events was all my passion.

It was difficult securing sponsors, but I made it & I was happy

I was thinking about the dragging, how & #39;Enemies& #39; would drag me & my NPFL players like Tiger Generator.

You know the argument about Home-based vs Foreign Pros.

It was a rough week, we have to defend & defend them

The feeling at home is always different from those with the team.

Oliseh said a lot of unprinted words with anger. It was a big distraction.

Toyin & Tijani Babaginda was able to calm down Foskolo. We for see fight https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">

They begged us not to use the audio at least before the game. We agreed & decided not to distract the team. Was it ethical?

Should we gist about 2018 CHAN in Morocco? At least we won Silver.

I don& #39;t want to share how I wasted 10,000 Rwanda Franc on cab searching for the accommodation I booked from Nigeria. The experience wasn& #39;t funny https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">, JJC in abroad. I settled at one hotel around 9pm, after searching for hours. The night wasn& #39;t smooth, I don& #39;t have Internet as well

The next day, Super Eagles arrived from South Africa. The players, coaches & backroom staff were surprised to see a Nigerian journalist in Kigali. It was all smile & confidence, their fada, we go kill them for this tournament https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">.

Oliseh noticed me & we had a brief chat.

Oliseh was accomodative, I had a changed of perspective about him.

Oh! This guy is nice. Oliseh has changed & matured.

He granted his first interview with us, you will like him, brilliant guy, he speaks well.

Oliseh to Toyin; "Invite the guys to join us for lunch." Wawu!

Interestingly, I was the first Nigerian to arrived in Kigali, Rwanda. I arrived before the team contingent. The team camped in Abuja for one month, camped for weeks in South Africa.

A lot of investment on the team, Oliseh was the coach. So, I was hopeful, we should win https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">

The team left for their hotel. Where I go to sleep now? I didn& #39;t enjoy last night& #39;s hotel.

I met a Nigerian lady based in Rwanda, can& #39;t recall her name now. She was helpful & kind to us. She took me to a comfortable hotel which was a few metres away from the airport.

1st Incident: Miss Aisha was media coordinator in Rubavu. So, CAF mixed up the time of the presser & we got there late. Big fight between Kelechi & Aisha https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">. We settled that.

Nigeria presser began, Oliseh wasn& #39;t happy, we could feel it on his face. Sunny, wetin dey happen now?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">
