The best officiating I've seen at #AFCON2025 so far. Impeccable.

BRIGHT OSAYI-SAMUEL
(Rated by Results)
He said it himself in a recent interview, people didn’t rate him that much. When Ola Aina, Nigeria’s first-choice right back, was ruled out through injury, many feared the drop-off would be costly. Bright Osayi-Samuel heard the doubts and answered them on the pitch.
Across the tournament, he delivered defensive solidity, relentless energy, and real attacking outlets, covering ground, winning duels, and stretching opponents when Nigeria needed width. AFCON became his statement: not loud, not flashy, just reliable, fearless performances when the pressure was highest.
Sometimes respect doesn’t come before the job. Sometimes you earn it during it.
Well done Samuel, We Saw You!!!

Just went through the comments. I see South Africans are attacking you. As African people we have a long way to go before our minds are free. You did your job, and the president didn't respect you or the people you both represent.
He owes everybody answers, and transparency.

If Motsepe says I’m “talking nonsense” & I naturally ask, as a follow-up, what exactly is the “nonsense” that I said, the appropriate thing for Motsepe to say, in response, is “Keep quiet, keep quiet”? That’s what a CAF president should say at a PRESS conference? 🤔
Emeka Nwani retweeted
The main problem is that you were given the opportunity to ask questions you did, but when he was busy responding to you , you interjected wanting to ask follow-up questions. Have you seen how white house handle press? He was avoiding that mess.
Emeka Nwani retweeted
The question is a 🔥 🥔. I expected that. They would prefer that I were not at the press conference, as @Lux_September would admit.
Emeka Nwani retweeted
Keep on asking these difficult questions... that's what the public needs from journalists. Don't nurse anyone's feelings...CAF can't be run from FIFA's headquarters. Period!
Emeka Nwani retweeted
This sentiment is echoed by federations n people like you that can’t properly run their domestic leagues or develop home-grown talent. Their national teams are 95% Europe-based. So what Africanism do they claim is being lost by moving CAF to a four-year cycle? If anything, it actually gives them room to fix their own mess.
Emeka Nwani retweeted
He is very uncomfortable. But billionaires like him don’t think serfs, as they see journalists to be, can hold them to account.
Emeka Nwani retweeted
Another good thing is that his reaction suggests that he is uncomfortable with criticism.
That's bad.
Emeka Nwani retweeted
It is clear that @CAF_Online President Patrice Motsepe is very irked with my criticism that CAF is being ‘colonised’ by FIFA and European interests.
Motsepe told me, in Rabat, that I am talking ‘nonsense’… “We don’t take decisions in Africa for Europe. We take decisions in Africa for Africa,” he says to me in Rabat on Saturday.
When Motsepe says I am wrong, and I ask him how I have been wrong, he tells me to “Keep quiet”… Twice.
Is that an answer? Or that’s not wanting to answer my questions, by trying to bully me into silence?
Hayatou couldn’t stop me, Ahmad couldn’t and not even a billionaire President of CAF can do that. I will ask the questions that need to be asked, about the state of African football.
The good thing? He is acutely aware of what I say…

This is Eric Sekou Chelle's appreciation letter
In 1994, the Super Eagles ruled Africa
In 1996, our sons conquered the world at the Atlanta Olympics in the USA
In 2000, we stood at the gates of glory, second place, dreams still burning
Then came the long years.
Years of waiting.
Years of searching.
Managers came and went;
Adegboye Onigbinde, Christian Chukwu, Austin Eguavoen, Berti Vogts, Shuaibu Amodu, Lars Lagerbäck, Samson Siasia,
Sunday Oliseh, Stephen Keshi, Gernot Rohr, Jose Peseiro, Finidi George and many more.
They tried.
They fought.
They gave what they could.
Yet the spirit of ’94 remained a memory.... a legend whispered in hope.
Until, in a time of doubt and disorder, a Franco-Malian answered the call.
His name, Eric Sékou Chelle.
They questioned him.
They doubted him.
They said, “He is not better than our own.”
The start was stormy, but he did not panic.
He held the wheel.
Though we missed the 2026 World Cup by inches, belief had returned.
Then came AFCON 2025.
And Nigeria remembered who she is.
For the first time in 31 years,
the Super Eagles played football that stirred the soul.
The Eagles soared.
The streets smiled.
The nation believed again.
Akor Adams rose like thunder, bullying defenders, echoing the fire of Daniel Amokachi.
Osimhen and Lookman danced with destiny, a deadly bond, unmatched across Africa, fear written in every opponent’s eyes.
The fallen man stood tall; Alex Iwobi was reborn, reviving the rhythm, the joy, the Jay-Jay magic.
At the back, Calvin Bassey stood firm, a gentle giant, the spirit of Uche Okechukwu reborn.
Every man understood his brother.
Every jersey carried purpose.
Every pass carried pride.
This was not just a team.
This was a memory revived.
This was 1994 reborn.
Eric Chelle may not have lifted the AFCON trophy, but he lifted a nation’s spirit.
He restored our identity.
He gave us back our joy.
God bless you, Eric Sékou Chelle.
Nigeria sees you.
Nigeria thank you.
Nigeria loves you.
🦅💚🇳🇬
