Some others were seen buying customised Nigerian flags and jerseys, special balloons bearing the national colours, vuvuzela, whistles and other musical equipment to cheer their team to victory on the match day.

Some residents, who spoke to journalists, commended the Governor Obaseki-led administration for reconstructing the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium which is now connected to 24/7 electricity supply from the CCETC-Ossiomo Power Plant.

A resident, Ewere Loveday, said the hosting right for the competitive match was made possible because of the new look of the stadium and upgrade of all facilities including the installation of a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology.
