Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Arsenal and Manchester City striker, Emmanuel Adebayor has tipped Nigeria to beat Tunisia in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 clash on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Adebayor was biased in his prediction, as he is originally from Nigeria, but represents Togo in international football.<\/p>\n

He has now charged the Super Eagles to \u201cwin for me\u201d.<\/p>\n

Adebayor said in a short viral video, \u201coriginally, my parents are from Nigeria, and I am a Nigerian, so you guys have to win for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t want to win for yourself, it is your problem, but win for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper Eagles, we need to celebrate, we need to party, we need to dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adebayor, who was named the 2008 African Footballer of the year, represented Togo at the 2010 and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, where he helped the team reach the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
