Donation of US$10 million after a slim 1-0 win over Tanzania on Saturday.
Governor Udom, according to hints from Uyo, also donated 10,000 USD ( 21771000.00 TZS ) to the Taifa Stars at a special dinner held for both teams.
The governor promised to do more for the Nigerian team if they secured a ticket to the World
Cup in Russia.
Tanzania may have lost the game against Nigeria in Uyo, but their tenacity and fighting
spirit has won them countless new fans in the West African nation.
Before their arrival, all most Nigerians knew about the Taifa Stars was that they had never
beaten the Eagles in the four previous tries, and that they had to stop their play maker and
captain Samatta Mbwana.
