Ogunfuwa said, “We experienced little hiccups from Egyptian Embassy where some members were denied visas but as a leader, I waited behind to stay with my members to ensure that they all got their visas before we took off. I think the issue of delay cuts across and just like I said I don’t want to say more on this because I have a good relationship with them as I speak.”

She added  that a lot of our members would enjoy a good jolly ride traveling arrangements in our subsequent matches as  executives have learnt a great deal of lesson from the experience and we shall always improve on the previous” .

 “These players worth celebrating considering the fact that they do give their all to the nation. I think they deserve our pat and encouragements even though there are bounds to be mistakes on the field of play”

She explained how she has been following the Supporters national teams for more than 25 years and I know how these players feel when they win or lose a match, thus, we bound to share the pains and gains in one patriotic spirit”

Ogunfuwa who rose through the rank from the post of Social Secretary to the Secretary General of Supporters Club and now the national President of *Nigeria Eagles Supporters Club* asserted that the group would not rest on its oars to continue to support all the national teams across globes to win laurels for our nation,Nigeria
