“It was a cherish victory and I dare say that it makes Nigerians to temporarily forget about our problems in addition to giving us something to be hopeful for.
“There is no need for pretence, the nation’s challenges are enormous, especially the issue of insecurity; you saw how happy our people were seeing Eagles play and winning their matches in the ongoing AFCON.
“Like I said in their first match against Egypt, the Eagles must keep this winning mentality and play every match as if it is their last match.
“They (Eagles) are the only thing that keeps Nigerians happy now and should be made to understand this. A lot rest on their shoulders and must not disappoint.
