He said: “With the kind of talent we have, we shouldn’t be in this position. We need to come together and stay focused on achieving our World Cup dream. We must be determined like other countries.
“In football, anything can happen. We shouldn’t give up. I still believe we can qualify, but it all depends on how we approach the games ahead.”
Nigeria will host Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on 3rd September, before travelling to face South Africa three days later.
