The win reinforced Nigeria’s position as one of the early frontrunners of the tournament. Goals from Paul Onuachu and a second-half brace by Raphael Onyedika proved decisive against a determined Ugandan side.

Nigeria took the lead in the 28th minute when Onuachu rose above the defense to head in the opener after sustained pressure. Uganda responded after halftime, with Salim Magoola reducing the deficit in the 56th minute. However, Onyedika quickly restored Nigeria’s two-goal advantage in the 62nd minute and sealed the victory with a powerful strike in the 67th minute. Rogers Mato added a late goal for Uganda in the 75th minute, but the Super Eagles remained firmly in control until the final whistle.

With the win, Nigeria finishes top of Group C, having secured nine points from three matches, scoring eight goals and conceding four. Uganda ended the group stage at the bottom with a single point, ending their hopes of advancing.

Looking ahead, Nigeria will face the best third-placed team from Groups A, B, or F in the round of 16 on January 6, as they aim to build on their flawless start in the knockout phase.

  • Post-Conference Exchange: Following their heated clash at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in Port Harcourt, African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore revealed on Arise News that he called former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to demand an apology.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

    • The “Poison” Joke: Sowore recounted that instead of apologizing, Amaechi invited him over for food and drinks, to which Sowore playfully responded that he declined out of fear of being poisoned because he knew Amaechi was upset.

    • Democratic Credentials: Defending his political background, Sowore argued that his pro-democracy activism created the very political space that allowed politicians like Amaechi—who is the African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate—to serve in high offices like speaker, governor, and minister.

    • Clash Over Records: Their initial disagreement ignited when Sowore criticized Amaechi’s record on railway projects and fuel subsidies, prompting Amaechi to defend his infrastructure projects and tell Sowore to “close his mouth” while politicians were speaking.

    • Economic Stance & Leadership View: Reaffirming his opposition to the removal of petrol subsidies, Sowore maintained that true leadership should be measured by vision, problem-solving, and commitment rather than merely holding past government positions.
