Ikubese, while giving the advice, condoled with the families
of Nigerians who died during the
semi-final match between Nigeria and South Africa.
He said: “A Former House of Representatives member and
former Executive Director of NDDC, Delta-born Cairo Ojougboh and Anambra-born
billionaire, High Chief Osondu Nwoye, one of the richest Igbo businessman based
in Ivory Coast were among those who lost their lives.
“The moment the referee visited the VAR, cancelled the
Nigerian goal by Victor Osimen and awarded penalty against Nigeria, these two,
like many other Nigerians started screaming in anger and frustration.
“When the kick was eventually taken and South Africa scored,
they slumped and died Ikubese added that ” the two other deceased were a member
of the National Youth Service Corps serving in Adamawa State identified simply
as Samuel, from Kaduna State and the Deputy Bursar of Kwara State University
Malete, Alhaji Ayuba Abdullahi both of whom slumped and died during the
terminal penalty kicks.
“I herein admonish that those who are highly emotional and
with heart conditions should be mindful of the AFCON grand finale coming up on
Sunday 11th February, between Nigeria and host Cote D’Ivoire”.
He added: “This category of persons should not watch the
live transmission of the match. If they must do however, they should
deliberately engage diversionary therapy as to minimize their systemic
reactions to the activities therein.
“They can pick up their phones and be engaged therein while
watching the match and deliberately play down their emotions, acting like the
outcome of the match is of no consequence to them.
“On no account should they scream or jump up. If in spite of
all these, they yet begin to feel uncomfortable, they should quit watching.
“If they are not sure of conducting themselves with such
level of decorum, they should boycott the live transmission and watch the
highlights thereafter”.
