Behind every disappointment is a blessing.  With their backs against the wall the Super Eagles finally broke out of their shells to reveal the faint outlines of an emerging new team made for the immediate future.   It will, however, take a new process to hone and mature the team into greatness. The Elements have conspired again to lay out that essential process for the team - challenging two-phased playoffs and the African Cup of Nations in between.   I, therefore, say \u2018Congratulations\u2019 to Nigeria, not only for the victory of last Tuesday night in Uyo (well earned) or even for the divinely constructed narrow escape (Nigeria\u2019s last minute goal), but also for the new route now carved out by the play-offs to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.   On the surface of things, the new route appears long and strewn with difficult matches and tough opponents, but for those that can look beneath the surface, these may be a better and a more beneficial pathway to the World Cup and into the matches!   I am reminded of 1993 in many ways.  I was both an eye-witness and active participant in the drama of that period leading to USA\u201994."}
