Pastor Jimmy Odukoya has raised prayer points for Nigeria’s Super Eagles as they prepare to face Angola’s Black Antelopes in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Chronicle NG reports that Jose Peseiro’s men will face Angola in the AFCON last eight on Friday at 6:00 p.m.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Odukoya, in a video upload via his X account on Friday, implored every Nigerian to hope that the likes of Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, and Moses Simon should score against Angola.
He also prayed that God would not humiliate Nigeria because the Super Eagles advanced in the competition.
“My fellow Nigerians, we are here again, and today it is Angola. Last I heard, the antelope wanted to come and feast where the eagles had gathered. An eagle can swoop down, but an antelope cannot climb up to reach where the eagles are,” Odukoya said.
“So this is the prayer point: every angle the Angolans want to come from back to sender, any shot that they shoot back to sender. You see, God has brought us this far.
“God, no, go shame us. There is a reason why we have come this far. This is our year. So I need everybody to pray by faith. We have conquered the antelope. The eagles are gathering on the carcasses of the antelopes. We will eat everything.
“The prayer point father, every Osimhen, every Chukwueze, every Simon permanent sight inside that goal we score, Amen.”
