“It’s not going to be an easy group for Nigeria. We know that the other countries have good players as we do. We are focused on the game against Liberia on Friday and after that, we will take each game as they come” he said.
“I’m going to work harder to give my best against Liberia just like the other players. We know what is at stake. We are going out for the win against Liberia” he concluded.
