Here's the match report, Lee.
Nigeria claimed their third Africa Cup of Nations title with a dominant performance over Burkina Faso in Johannesburg.
Sunday Mba fired the Super Eagles ahead with a superb volley five minutes before the break after a period of pressure saw Burkina Faso, competing in their first final, succumb to Stephen Keshi’s side.
Wilfried Sanou came close to levelling for the Stallions midway through the second half but his brief flash of brilliance was extinguished by a top-drawer save by Vincent Enyeama.
It was Nigeria’s first final since 2000 but they were hot favourites ahead of the match against the minnows from west Africa due to their 12-game unbeaten record.
Their win means coach Keshi becomes only the second man to win the cup as coach and player, following in the footsteps of Egyptian Mahmoud Al Gohari.
The Super Eagles set their stall out early, with wave after wave of attack which pegged Burkina Faso back into their own half for the majority of the first 45 minutes.
Efe Ambrose had the first chance of the match when he headed over the bar from Victor Moses’ free-kick in the seventh minute before Burkina Faso goalkeeper Daouda Diakite almost made a disastrous mistake moments later.
Diakite came off his line to take a ball above his own defender’s head, only to fluff his take, with Brown Ideye’s resulting weak shot looping over the bar.
It was a huge let off for Burkina Faso in their first taste of the competition’s final, after they had previously only reached the last four of the tournamnet in 1998 where they lost to eventual champions Egypt.
However, there was a glimmer of creativity from midfielder Jonathan Pitroipa, who had his red card from the last match against Ghana rescinded, when he made a good run up the right and drew in four Nigeria defenders, only for the resulting corner to be easily neutralised.
Nigeria kept up the pressure, Aristide Bance wasting a good chance when his low, drilled 25-yard free-kick flashed just wide of Enyeama’s right post, before Ikechukwu Uche’s turn on edge of box was miscued by the onrushing Ideye.
Burkina Faso were struggling to get out of their own half and Nigeria’s dominance told five minutes before the break, when Mba volleyed past Diakite from the middle of the box.
After some good build-up play, Moses’ shot was blocked and looped up to Mba, who plucked the ball from the air to fire the Super Eagles to a deserved lead.
The goal gave the match a much-needed boost, with Burkina Faso increasing their urgency and making a couple of surging runs into the Nigeria box before the half-time whistle.
Nigeria almost doubled their lead two minutes after the break when Moses played in Ideye, who was unable to get enough angle on his strike and flashed it across the face of goal.
Moses then wasted a golden chance to score on the counter-attack when he failed to pull the trigger when one-on-one with defender Madi Panandetiguiri.
The Nigeria defence were then called upon to keep out two testing corners before Super Eagles goalkeeper Enyeama denied Sanou’s powerful strike with a fantastic diving save to tip it around the post.
However, Burkina Faso remained unable to find that elusive cutting edge, with substitute Moumouni Dagano firing over the bar with his stoppage time free-kick in their last meaningful attack.

Just when you thought this thread was finished...........
Stephen Keshi has told a South African radio station that he has resigned as the Nigeria coach, less than 24 hours after leading his country to the Africa Cup of Nations title.
The Super Eagles edged out Burkina Faso 1-0 in Sunday's final to become the African champions for the third time but it appears prior tensions between Keshi and the Nigerian Football Federation have led to his exit.
Keshi appeared on Metro FM, part of public broadcaster SABC, on Monday and said he had told the NFF of his decision after the match. The Metro FM presenter Robert Marawa tweeted: "Stephen Keshi has just announced that he handed over his resignation letter after the game exclusively on 083Sport@6 With Marawa on MetroFM".
Keshi had revealed tensions between himself and the NFF before the semi-finals , saying he would "pack his bags and leave" if he felt unwanted.
According to reports, Nigerian officials had booked a flight home for the squad, due to depart immediately after their quarter-final against the tournament favourites Ivory Coast – seen by Keshi as a vote of no confidence. Nigeria won the match 2-1.
Keshi, only the second man to win the Africa Cup of Nations as a player and a coach, said after victory in the final that he wanted to see other African countries give local coaches a chance rather than continuing to import from abroad.

It's got Togo: Why clubs not players are being disrespectful over stars' returns from Africa Cup of Nations
Emmanuel Adebayor was late back from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Well, someone always is.
And the reaction is always the same.
'Haven’t they got aeroplanes in Africa?'
'Well, you know African players, they like to party.'
'Timekeeping has never been their strong point, has it?'
Et cetera, et cetera.
Soon, of course, the attitude towards the player mutates into anger and resentment.
Stories emerge detailing the lengths a club has gone to in order to get him back (the laying on of a private plane is a favourite).
He is accused of ingratitude and of irresponsibility. He is told he is showing blatant disrespect to his club.
He is told that, given he is earning a king’s ransom, he should have been on the plane back to London a few hours after his team was knocked out.
His ‘late’ return is portrayed as a form of betrayal, a sign that he does not really care about his teammates or the supporters.
So let’s get this straight.
Do we really expect players who have been away at a major tournament for up to a month to rejoin their club immediately?
Do we really think we can take no account of the fact that they have been away, on another continent, taking part in intense competition?
Let’s look at it another way.
When a player has taken part in the Euros, do we expect him to be catapulted straight back into pre-season training without a rest?
Of course we don’t.
Players who come back from the European Championship are given extra time off so they can recover.
It should be the same for the Africa Cup of Nations, but the attitude to it from English clubs is still dominated by double standards.
The tournament - which has been in existence longer than the European Championship, by the way - is treated as a giant inconvenience.
It is as if some Premier League managers didn’t realise the bloke they were signing was African when they bought him.
Because the Africa Cup of Nations comes as a terrible shock to them each time it rolls around.
Instead of trying to trample on the African game and devalue its biggest tournament, maybe they should have thought of the implications before they signed the guy.
Sure, it is hard not to feel some sympathy with Tottenham, who were desperate to rush Adebayor back into action.
Spurs had lost Jermain Defoe to an ankle injury and knew their attacking threat against a rejuvenated Newcastle last Saturday would be further blunted if Adebayor was missing, too.
But Adebayor had played four matches in 12 days for Togo at the tournament in South Africa - the last of which went to extra time.
That game was on February 3.
Spurs played Newcastle on February 9.
It was stretching logic to expect Adebayor to be available, and it was commendable on his part that he even made the bench.
But the logic that is applied to so many other parts of the game these days - the received wisdom about the importance of rest, about not overplaying players - disappears when the Cup of Nations is part of the equation.
It is like a remnant of imperialism, an unwillingness to accept that Africa’s tournament could make the same demands on a player as Europe’s does.
Just because it falls in the middle of the European season doesn’t change that.
Once again, it’s what you sign up for when you recruit a player who might be involved in the competition.
The Adebayor saga illustrated once more the fact that there are few events in football which expose European prejudices as surely as the Africa Cup of Nations.
Awareness may have improved since the days when a national newspaper executive became confused by the fixtures at the 2006 World Cup because he had believed, until then, that Togo was an abbreviation for Trinidad and Tobago.
But it is time for us all to stop flying into a rage every time an African player takes a few days out after the Cup of Nations.
It’s a football tournament, not a sunshine break.
It’s time to start treating it, and the players who play in it, with a bit more respect.

Some surprisingly good points in that piece from the Mirror - I definitely agree with the criticism of the general attitude toward the the African Cup of Nations and the issues its timing brings up.
At the same time though, you can't assume all cases are the same. Depending on what interaction had taken place between player and club, the Adebayor situation could have been any party's fault.Like blood on ironComment

Tottenham's Emmanuel Adebayor blames Togo federation for late return
Emmanuel Adebayor has talked for the first time about the chaos that followed Togo's exit from the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this month,, which delayed his return to Tottenham Hotspur and has compounded what he describes as "one of the toughest seasons of my whole life."
The striker endured uncertainty last summer, as his permanent transfer from Manchester City became akin to a saga and, after the £5.5m deal went through in late August, he suffered injury and a red card against his former club, Arsenal, which led to a three-game ban. His domestic season was interrupted further by the Africa Cup of Nations, when he answered a personal plea from the president of Togo to lead the country in South Africa.
Adebayor has scored only three goals for Tottenham this time out, but he is primed for a glorious finale which, he hopes, will also see an old score being settled. The 28-year-old is reviled at Arsenal and he would love to beat them to a Champions League qualifying spot. Tottenham, who visit West Ham United on Monday night, are four points clear of Arsenal in fourth place. Arsenal face Aston Villa at home on Saturday and it is the north London derby at White Hart Lane next Sunday. Tottenham have not finished above Arsenal since 1994-95.
"When I was at Arsenal, my job was to score goals for them but now I'm at Tottenham and I have to help the team finish in the top four," Adebayor said. "We have a big chance this season to finish on top of them and we have to take it.
"You know what happened at the end of a tough race last season [when Tottenham missed out on the Champions League] and we don't want to commit the same mistake. It's getting better every season at Tottenham and we have to find a way, especially me. It's a big opportunity for me to show people I was right to leave Arsenal, which means finishing on top of them. If that's with Tottenham, it's even better."
Adebayor's Togo made history at the Africa Cup of Nations when they reached the quarter-finals for the first time. But they were beaten by Burkina Faso on Sunday 3 February and the defeat was the prompt for a whirlwind five days underpinned, in Adebayor's opinion, by characteristically inept organisation from the Togo Football Federation.
Adebayor had assured Tottenham that he would be back for training on Friday 8 February, in time for the lunchtime Premier League kick-off at home to Newcastle United the following day. But he did not land at Luton airport until 6pm on the Friday, on a private jet that Tottenham had eventually chartered to bring him back from Togo. As a result he was not deemed ready to start against Newcastle, although he came on as a 69th-minute substitute in the 2-1 win.
The Togo president had requested to see the squad in order to congratulate them on their tournament showing but Adebayor said it took them four days to get a flight from South Africa to their home country. "We'd made history by reaching the quarter-finals and I cannot just jump on the plane and come back to my club, because the president of the country wanted to see us," Adebayor said. "I am the captain so I have to be there. Financially I can get a private jet and come back to London [from South Africa] but I could not abandon my team. As captain it's not a good example.
"In South Africa there were no planes to go back home [to Togo]. We went out on the Sunday, then we were trying to find a plane to go to Togo and [after that], go back to London. It took us four days to get a plane. That's not my fault. I can't do anything. I [couldn't] just put something on my body and fly back. When we did get to Togo, the next flight that the club sent for me, I was on it.
"Togo is not Ivory Coast. When they went out of the tournament [on the same day], the president of the federation sent them a plane to get back. In Togo you all know the story. It's not the same."
Adebayor cannot suppress his frustration at the Togolese federation. "I've spoken already about the organisation and I didn't want to go to the tournament because of it," he said. "The president of the country convinced me to go and I was happy to be the captain and everybody was proud of us. But as soon as we were out, the same things happen – organisation. There was nothing organised to take us back home.
"I had to call the president of the country on my own to tell him that we had to go [from South Africa]. He told us to get to the airport at 4pm on Thursday. We did and then we stayed at the airport for more than 10, 12 hours.
"I think people recognise now that, with a little more organisation, we can achieve something. That's what I've said for the last 10 years. You have to concentrate on football but that's not the case with Togo. You have to concentrate on: 'What am I going to eat today? Where am I going to sleep?'"
Adebayor highlighted how European players are able to enjoy weeks off after the European Championship, in contrast to their African counterparts, who must also switch immediately from "30 degree heat to minus three" and contend with changes to "the culture and the food". He said such switches take their toll in physical terms and that he has suffered since.
However, he added that he felt sharper against Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday night, when Mousa Dembélé's late goal carried Tottenham into a last-16 meeting with Internazionale, and he intends to drive an upturn in his personal fortunes over the coming weeks.
"I'm not going to blame it on anybody, I'm going to blame it on myself, because I know I can do better and a lot of people who know me are expecting better," Adebayor said. "But I'm a human being, I've got blood running through my veins like everyone else. You reach a point where you are tired. But I'm getting back to my best. Physically I'm looking better and, when I'm good physically, I know the rest will follow."
There can be no doubting Adebayor's mental toughness and he draws strength from the events that he has lived through, particularly the gun attack on the Togo team bus before the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.
"I get a tough time but I have to keep going because [it] could have been worse," he said. "I've seen people dying in front of me, I've seen people with guns in front of me. I've also had 30,000 people abusing me [in stadiums]. I take it as part of life. It's true that sometimes, you hear things and think: 'It's a tough one,' but when I go home to my wife and little daughter, they put a smile on my face. They are the only people who make me happy."

Didier Drogba omission signals end of Ivory Coast golden generation
Nothing in football is ever entirely definitive but, if there was any doubt that Ivory Coast's golden generation came to an end in Rustenburg in February during the Africa Cup of Nations, it was removed by the omission of Didier Drogba from the squad to face Gambia on Saturday. Ninety-six games and 60 goals after he made his debut against South Africa in 2002 Drogba will not even be part of the squad, although whether he has been dropped or asked to be left out remains unclear.
After the defeat by Nigeria in the Cup of Nations quarter-final there had been widespread calls from Ivorian fans for mass changes and the culling of the old guard but the Ivory Coast coach, Sabri Lamouchi, had hinted that he would retain the old core. Lamouchi had left Drogba out for the second game in the Cup of Nations, the victory over Tunisia, but that was explained by the fact that Drogba, the Chinese season long over, was lacking match fitness – and it was even suggested it had been Drogba's decision.
Now he has moved to Galatasaray and is playing regularly and his omission seems less explicable. Lamouchi again hinted Drogba had had some part in the decision. "He's not in top form now," he said. "He now wants to work so as to regain his form before rejoining the Elephants. In eight months Drogba has played for three clubs in three continents. This affected his form and it is visible. He is currently working hard at his new club, Galatasaray, to recover his form. Drogba's absence does not mean any humiliation. He will come back to the fold and help us qualify for the 2014 Fifa World Cup."
Anzhi Makhachkala's Lacina Traoré, a tall physical presence, will presumably replace him. He is a similar type of player to Drogba and has been his obvious successor for a couple of years but it is hard to believe, in pure footballing terms, that Drogba would not be an asset from the bench. Pure footballing terms, of course, are only ever part of it.
Drogba was clearly the leader of his generation, Ivory Coast's captain for seven years and somebody others clearly respected, not just for what he did on the field but also for his work in trying to mitigate the effects of the civil war. When he was left out against Tunisia, he seemed determined to make a point of being supportive, leaping an advertising hoarding at one point to join the goal celebrations.
Perhaps Lamouchi felt that the baggage Drogba would bring sitting on the bench would inhibit the rest of the side but this feels like a defining moment for his management: get this wrong without Drogba – whoever's decision it was – and it could terminally undermine his reign, if the Nigeria defeat has not already done that.
Drogba is not the only player omitted: Emmanuel Eboué, Romaric, Siaka Tiéné and Igor Lolo have also been left out and, in a sense, a home game against Gambia is the ideal place to start the process of rebuilding. They lie bottom of the qualifying group, with one point from their opening two games, and realistically should provide no more than perfunctory opposition. For Ivory Coast, getting through a group that also includes Morocco and Tanzania really should not be an issue.
They top the table with a win and a draw, which came away to Morocco in what, in theory, should be their hardest game. The difficulty is in making sure that, by the time the group stage ends in September, they have forged a strong enough team to get through the play-off.
The other most notable absentees are the Ayew brothers, who have made themselves unavailable for selection by Ghana, largely because of a spat between Dédé, the elder of the two under consideration, and the coach, James Kwesi Appiah. Ghana are in serious danger of failing to qualify, partly for reasons beyond their control. They went down 1-0 to Zambia last June but the match that has really boosted Zambia, giving them a three-point lead, is one they lost. Zambia were beaten 2-0 in Khartoum, only to be awarded a 3-0 victory when it emerged that Sudan had fielded an ineligible player in Saif Ali. Ghana still have to go to Khartoum.
That has increased the pressure on Ghana before they host Sudan on Sunday, while Zambia, for all their uncertain form at the Cup of Nations, will surely not slip up away to Lesotho. Appiah himself is now under intense scrutiny. After Ghana's oddly lethargic showing at the Cup of Nations many felt he was lucky to keep his job – although the Ghanaian FA did promise to send him on a coaching course – and he must know that anything but a win at the weekend will almost certainly mean the end, if only to get the Ayews back in the squad. Milovan Rajevac, the Serbian coach who led Ghana to the World Cup semi-final, has made clear through Nenad Glisic, who acted as an aide and interpreter for him, that he feels he has "unfinished business" with Ghana and would be keen on a return.
Emmanuel Frimpong, the Arsenal midfielder on loan at Fulham, has been called up to the squad for the first time but he and the winger Christian Atsu are both injury doubts.
Nigeria, the African champions, can take control of their group with a win over Kenya, while Burkina Faso, the side they beat in the Cup of Nations final, need to beat Niger to have even a chance of making the play-offs. They drew their opening game 0-0 against Congo, only for the match to be awarded as a 3-0 defeat for fielding Herve Zengue, a player Fifa deemed ineligible. Zengue, who was born in Cameroon but is married to a Burkinabe, had previously been a source of controversy after playing in a 2012 Cup of Nations qualifier against Namibia; Namibia's appeal was rejected by the Confederation of African Football because they supposedly filed it too late. Fifa also awarded Niger a 3-0 win for their opening game against Gabon, who fielded an ineligible player in Charly Moussono. Although he played all four matches for Gabon in the 2012 Cup of Nations, he was deemed ineligible by Fifa because he had represented Cameroon in the 2006 Beach Soccer World Cup. As a result Gabon, who looked a rising force as Cup of Nations hosts in 2012, face a crucial trip to Congo on Saturday.
South Africa, after sloppy draws against Ethiopia and Botswana, have a must-win game against an improving Central African Republic, while Mali, after losing in Benin in their opening game, cannot afford to lose in Rwanda. Benin themselves could take a major step towards the play-offs by negotiating an away trip to Algeria without defeat. And in Yaounde Jean-Paul Akono at last faces the first proper test of his career as Cameroon manager as his side face Togo.

A Kenya referee named, Martin Wekesa, is suing the Kenya Football Federation for 20m schillings (approximately €180,000) after he claimed the coach of one of the teams involved in a game which he was refereeing squeezed his testicles which meant he was unable to enjoy the use of said testicles.
Sparki Youth coach, Daudi Kajembe, was banned for life as a result of the assault which happened in September of last year.
From Michezo Afrika:
Martin Wekesa has now sued FKF National Chairman Sam Nyaweya for loss of conjugal rights and is demanding 20 million Shillings in terms of compensation. A demand letter by the complainants attorney Cornel Shisanya dated 5th April 2013 and addressed to Nyamweya partly states;
‘’That my principal sustained very serious injuries by the sole negligence of your part and thereby puts you liable for a maximum compensation of ksh 20,000,000/= which have been arrived in the following manner;
-That a doctor’s report reveals that my principal has suffered permanent incapacity and can no longer enjoy his conjugal rights as required by following extensive damage to his sexual organs.
Wekesa later told a local radio station about his ordeal:
That was the most gruesome moment of my life, I can never explain the pain but I am lucky to be alive.
On that day I remember I fainted after the guy attacked me squeezing me dangerously in my sensitive parts. I remember waking up three hours later while in hospital and it has been a long time to recovery.
I was affected mentally and physically as well since I became a subject of ridicule in town.

Africa comes to the boil with seven play-off places still up for grabs
You can tell a World Cup is approaching because Kevin Prince-Boateng has suddenly decided he feels like playing international football again. The attacking midfielder retired from international football in 2011, but has ended his exile to come into the Ghana squad for Friday's final World Cup qualifier in which Ghana need only to avoid defeat against Zambia to secure a place in the play-off round for World Cup qualifying.
The structure of the African preliminaries may be nonsensical, but they do guarantee drama: 10 groups of four, with the top sides going forward to two-leg play-offs, with the winners going on to Brazil.
Algeria, Egypt and Ivory Coast are already assured of places in the play-offs, which will be seeded according to September's world rankings; Egypt may just miss out on being one of the top-five sides, which could prove a nasty shock for one of the continental grandees.
Ghana are sure to be seeded if they make it through, and their squad looks stronger than it has for a while, with Dede Ayew back after his strop at being disciplined for arriving late for a medical assessment (itself seeming a hangover from a dispute over Ayew being substituted in a game last year) and Michael Essien finally declaring himself fit.
Sulley Muntari has been omitted after failing to apologise in time for verbally abusing the coach Kwesi Appiah after being substituted in the 2-0 win over Lesotho.
The only question is whether Appiah has undermined his attempts to impose discipline on the squad by essentially offering an amnesty, but it probably makes sense to offer some leeway now so he can work with his best players in the play-offs and ideally next summer. Certainly this side, even if some tensions remain, should be good enough to overcome a Zambia side that has faded badly since winning the Cup of Nations in Gabon last year. Indeed, if it weren't for Sudan fielding an ineligible player against them in Omdurman, and so having their 2-0 win chalked off and replaced by a 3-0 defeat, Zambia would already be out.
Sudan are not alone in playing ineligible players. Absurdly, seven games in African qualifying have been awarded as walkovers for use of an ineligible player, a dreadful indictment of football administration within various CAF members. African football faces enormous challenges in terms of finances and infrastructure, but it also at times lets itself down badly with issues of basic competence.
South Africa have been given a lifeline by Ethiopia allowing the suspended Minyahil Teshome to play against Botswana. Ethiopia won the game, which eliminated South Africa, only for the error to be seen and the match awarded to Botswana. That means that if South Africa beat Botswana at home, they will qualify ahead of Ethiopia if the Ethiopians, whose raucous fans were one of the highlights of this year's Cup of Nations, failed to beat Central African Republic, in a game being played in Brazzaville because of the political unrest in Bangui.
CAR have lost four in a row and are bottom of the group, but Ethiopia are without (or at least should be without) the goalkeeper Jemal Tassew and the defender Aynalem Hailu through suspension.
That is fortunate for South Africa, who tossed away needless points in drawing in Botswana having looked in control and were then well-beaten in Addis Ababa in a bad-tempered game in June, but there luck is nothing to that of Cape Verde. They lost twice to Equatorial Guinea in the space of three months, only to be awarded both games as 3-0 wins after it was noticed that Emilio Nsue, who was born in Spain of an Equatoguinean father, had played in both fixtures, Fifa ruling he was ineligible. That means that, improbably, Cape Verde will leapfrog Tunisia to top the group if they can beat the Carthage Eagles in Rades on Saturday.
The other big controversy surrounds Cameroon, who were only readmitted to the tournament in July after the appointment of a normalisation committee to deal with the issue of government interference in the federation. With Jean-Paul Akono, who had been installed as temporary manager, suffering a heart attack, the German Volker Finke was appointed sooner than expected and, as yet, has failed to win any of his three games in charge. Or at least it appeared that way, until another ineligible player intervened and it turned out Cameroon had beaten Togo 3-0 after all. A draw at home against Libya will secure Cameroon's place in the play-offs; lose and Libya progress instead.
The African champions, Nigeria, also require a home draw if they are to go through. They remain unbeaten in qualifying, but have drawn three of their five games and would be eliminated were Malawi to win in Calabar. Senegal are in much the same position. They face Uganda in their final game, needing a draw to progress, while the Cranes would go through with a win in a match being played in Marrakech because of the rioting that accompanied Senegal's defeat to Ivory Coast in the play-offs for Cup of Nations qualification.
That leaves just Group E, in which three sides are still in contention. Congo, having won their first three games before taking a single point from their last two, will progress with a win in Niger, who have been eliminated, but they lead Burkina Faso, finalists in the Cup of Nations in February, by just a point and Gabon by three.
They meet in Ouagadougou, although it would take a four-goal swing for Gabon to make it through.
And when that's settled, the fun really begins with next month's play-offs.
