Following their loss in their match Against La C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has consoled Nigerians.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CAF has said that Nigerians should not be tickled by their inability to win the just-ended 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations tournament.<\/p>\n

According to CAF, Nigeria\u2019s loss against La C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire does not necessarily mean that their lives have come to an end.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They are of the view that since football still exists, Nigeria can one day also win the African Cup of Nations tournament.<\/p>\n

CAF claims this is just the end of the competition and not the end of everything.<\/p>\n
