Omu-Aran (Kwara) – Video clips of Golden Eaglets’ final
match in the just concluded FIFA U-17 World Cup in
Dubai, are now in high demand among football fans in
Omu-Aran, Kwara.
The development has raised the price of the clips, from
N100 to N200 per copy.
Although the video clips of the entire group matches
involving the team are also in high demand, that of the
final match between the Eaglets and their Mexican
counterparts, sells more among the fans.
One of the Vendors, who simply identified himself as
Chukwuka, said that he was surprised at the high demand
for the match DVDs.
Chukwuka said he had already exhausted his supply.
“In fact, I had to hurriedly call our main office in Ilorin to
supply more of the DVD’s due to the high demand.
Mr Yemi Aransiola, President of the Omu-Aran Youth
Forum (OYF), described the development as healthy for the
growth and development of sports in the country.
“With this feat, I think the Eaglets have once again aligned
with the senior team, to create the love for our national
team for the growth of sports in the country.
“The situation was different few years back, when
Nigerians preferred watching European matches to the
detriment of our own national side.
“I think the euphoria started with Super Eagles’ victory in
South Africa, and will continue to linger in the memory of
our youths for a very long time to come,” he said. (NAN)
