BETWEEN OYO CONGO AND OYO NIGERIA

I was amazed to know that just as we have Oyo in Nigeria, we have Oyo too in Congo Brazzaville .Oyo is in South Western part of Nigeria while Republic of  the Congo's Oyo is in central part of the country.

The languages will be different of course.In Congo it will be either French or Lingala. In Nigeria it will be English and Yoruba.In Congo, most citizens live in the cities while in Nigeria it is not so.

Similarities? Yes. Both countries got independence same year,1960. Congo got independence on August 1960 while Nigeria got hers on October 1.

On why they beat Nigeria 2-3 in Calabar? Nigeria had never had an edge over them since 1970.Between 1970 and 1972 it was 1 win a piece and 2 draws!

Maybe if we had taken the match to Oyo it would have favoured us.Or we plead with CAF that we want the return leg to be played in Oyo, Congo!
