Mimi Boateng, the young lady who hoisted the AFCON trophy during the closing ceremony in 2008, says she felt blessed after being picked to hold the trophy.

A photo of Mimi hoisting the AFCON trophy as she was being carried in a palanquin has been going viral for years.

She was just eight years old when Ghana hosted the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2008 and she still remembers everything.
