The 29-year-old who is
looking forward to another opportunity in the Super Eagles shirt after making
his long awaited debut for Nigeria in Kaduna two years ago said Nigeria will
qualify for the World Cup by beating Ethiopia mercilessly in the first leg in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
"In all
ramifications, Super Eagles deserve a World cup ticket. It is not only about
winning the Nations Cup, but I think the flair of football has returned to
Nigeria like what we used to see in the 90s. I started having passions for
Nigeria since 1994 Nations Cup, though I was young but I can still remember
some things back then. I think the truth of the matter is that history is
trailing Keshi, he won the cup as a player and coach, and I still believe he
will lead the team to the World cup as a coach again.
The lanky centre
defender further heaps praises on Stephen Keshi’s achievement as a national
team coach.
“There are no words to
describe the coach than saying "best coach" in Africa. It is not only
that he won the Nations Cup but on his confidence in the team and always stay
to accept every critics. I am happy for him because he has done what white man
could have done and he deserves some respect.
"Going to Ethiopia
will be tough, the coach knows that already. It is better to prepare for war
than undermining the team. Nigeria are good for World Cup, even the Brazilians
are already expecting the country because of our populations and flair of
football."
