Nigeria's Super Eagles defender, Shehu Abdullahi, is still in cloud nine after helping Cyprus Premier league side Omonia Nicosia to a cup title, BSNsports.com.ng understand.

Omonia were forced to play most of part of the game against Ethnikos Achnas with 10 men after Abdullahi was sent off in the early part of the game.

The game ended goalless and Omonia came out on top 5-4 on penalties.

" It was an emotional night for me yesterday, a tough night it was." The Super Eagles defender wrote.

"The team spirit was unprecedented, and the fight was superb. Teammates fought for the badge and my sacrifice.

The fans were unbroken, they chanted all night. That was awesome from the fans, support was massive.

"I am excited we finished the season on a high despite the League challenges. Our 15th Cup honours and the first since 2012. I am honoured to be part of this success.

"Since I arrived at Omonia, we have won three titles, played in Europe, and restored the club pedigree. This is for the Omonia fans for their unconditional love and support during the season, they believed in us and fought through the tough moments with us.

"It was amazing seeing them smile in thousands, flying the GREEN colours. We could feel their emotions and we are honoured to have them support us. Love you all," he said.

The former Kano Pillars defender is expected to join the rest of the Super Eagles players in camp for the international friendly matches against Mexico and Ecuador.
