You have no choice, but to pay attention to their performance. A lot of people not only watch, but also join in singing and dancing. Then, you would see the gyrations of a half naked fat man with a very large tummy, carrying a pot of fire. And another dressed like an Imam, with a Qur'an and Jalaps in his hands. And yet you see another carry a holy bible. It seems perhaps, they are trying to say in images, that they've summoned all the gods in the land.
It's drumming, singing, dancing, cheering the Nigeria team all the way. There's no dull moment with Nigeria supporters club.
