As many Nigerians express excitement at the performance of the Super Eagles in their opening match against Egypt in the African Cup of Nations, a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezzekwesili, has waxed satirical about it.
Satire is a literary style that criticises indirectly, often using biting humour.
In her reaction, she seems to be punching the Nigerian leadership, even as she praises the Eagles who not only beat Egypt 1-0, but also demonstrated great talent and commitment.
In an online comment, she says, “This sweet win by a very competent assemblage of @NGSuperEagles players is definitely a teachable moment for sensible minds. Congratulations, folks.”
