''About three days - that's for sure (laughs). February 12 at full strength went to Abuja, where we had a scheduled appointment with the President.
''At the airport in the capital, we met a lot of people. All rejoiced, shouting congratulations, because our team have won this trophy. From the airport, we were driven by bus with the cup to the presidential residence.''
He continued: ''I have never won a major trophy in my life, and the first became the African Cup of Nations. I am sure that it - not the ceiling, and I'll be able to win many victories with Dynamo Kiev and with the national team of Nigeria. ''

''It was my wife. We were in the locker room, all the screaming and having fun, but it (the call, ed) still got through.''
