Stanley Nwabali gets traditional title as he returns a hero to his village in Rivers State
Super Eagles' sensational goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, was adorned with a chieftaincy title in a grand ceremony over the weekend, celebrating his standout performance at the recent AFCON tournament.
Nwabali returns to Chippa
Nwabali was instrumental between the sticks as the Super Eagles reached the AFCON final in February, enhancing his reputation as one of Africa's top shot-stoppers.
Although he narrowly missed out on the Golden Glove award, Nwabali's exploits have earned him celebrity status across Nigeria for keeping the Super Eagles in several tight games.

His club Chippa United captured the mood by tweeting "He's back" alongside photos of Nwabali being mobbed by delighted fans upon his return to Port Elizabeth.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper has established himself as a firm favourite at Chippa since joining them 18 months ago from the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL.

Nwabali will now aim to translate his international form into helping Chippa challenge in the South African Premier Soccer League when domestic action resumes this weekend.
The club has failed to win any of their last three matches and the Super Eagles will hope to help end a run of two defeats and a draw when they travel to Stellenbosh next.
